Hi
*|FNAME|*,
We hope that
you all are doing well in these difficult times. As some restrictions
are starting to ease here in Adelaide we wish to thank all of
our clients for their continued support and look forward to providing
IT help to you all. If you are in need of any specific services
or have a particular requirements please let us know and we will
try our best to help and assist you.
In the world
of IT the availability of computer systems and laptops is much
better but webcams and monitors can still be hard to source. If
you are in need of any of these items please let us know ASAP
so we can try and source stock.
Included below,
are links to a variety of our blog article that provide some help
and solutions on how best to return to work in the current environment
- whether you are starting to return back to the office or are
working remotely.
If you need
any other help or assistance let me know. Stay safe and catch
you all next month.
Cheers

| COVID-19
Information |
DP
Computing is still providing both onsite and remote support to
ensure our clients keep on operating. As a business we are continually
monitoring the latest government updates regarding the caronavirus
and taking all necessary precautions. We currently have a policy
for technicians to follow and some of our technicians will be
working from their homes. If anyone at your site has COVID-19
symptoms or has returned from interstate or overseas recently
we will not be attending the site and instead will be offering
remote support. If this causes any issues with clients, we apologise
in advance.
We have been
informed that due to the fact that a number of our clients are
deemed as essential services we will still be offering onsite
services and support even in the event of a full lockdown. Whether
this means we can also attend other clients premises is not known
at this stage.
Remote services
can also be used where we do not even need to come into your office
or business. Depending on you issue we may insist that we try
and solve your issues remotely before we come onsite. If you prefer
remote services also please let us know.
We can also
help businesses with transitioning their staff to work from home.
If you or your staff members would like to work remotely please
let us know as we can help set this up. |

will get bad again later this year. At least business can plan

| Protecting
Your Computers While Working from Home |
|
Many
families today have a shared home computer to help with all their
normal day-to-day activities. A teen can do school work, play
games and chat to friends, a parent can check work emails, pay
household bills and shop online while the youngsters play some
games and browse YouTube. Yet with COVID-19 sending so many people
home to work, the shared computer is getting a lot more use and
is now also being used for business or corporate work.
Check out
our blog article to see how to make your compute more secure.
