ACS Managed IT Services

    You can afford to have your own IT department.

      Our technicians can now manage all windows updates and patches, internet security software, monitor network security, error logs and hard drive health through remote management. Your business gets experiences techs monitoring your updates and patches daily, for a fraction of the price of a Service Call.

      Why managed services?

      Security

      The necessity for increased security of personal and client information has made it so computer software needs to be updated frequently to keep that information safe.  Updates from windows, web browsers, internet security software, and many other software programs that keep your business running smoothly are very important to stop virus infection and information leaks.

      Cost effective and efficient solutions.

      Updates can also cause trouble and can be time consuming if you aren’t familiar with the process. Our experienced techs look after security updates for hundreds of computers, so we know what to do and how to fix updates that cause trouble, many times we fix a problem before it becomes one.

        “Nothing’s working! My business is at a standstill.

        I’m losing money.

        When will we be back up and running?”

          Managed IT service is like having a computer tech look at your computer every day. We manage your computers from our office, so you don’t have to. This reduces security risks as well as potential down time. A lot of times we can either prevent problems all together or keep small problems from become nightmares.

          System monitoring.

          We keep an eye on windows services, your antivirus, backup checks (does not include actual backup service), hard drive check, failed logins, critical events and more.

          A Big Bouquet

          From the Comox Valley Echo Beef and Bouquets April 29th 2011:

          “A BIG BOUQUET to the great guys at ACS Computer Solutions. Andre recently guided this low-tech individual through the purchase of a new tower and Thom patiently helped me resolve a couple of problems with some existing software. I never felt like my questions were foolish nor my problems insignificant. Speedy, efficient service from personable, friendly – and very knowledgeable – staff.”

          “Go See Them At ACS”

           “I must say I am very happy with the work that the ACS team does for me. Consistently time after time they deliver exactly what I need. And the added bonus is that ACS is competitively priced. There has been many times where your team has come through for me in a computer related disaster. There have been several occasions where I am running around town trying to find parts due to a computer failure and when I go into a big box store looking for help they say “go see them at ACS”. That alone speaks volumes for the reputation that you guys have around town. Keep up the good work. By the way I am absolutely loving my two new systems, they came setup as expected and had the quality components I have come to expect from ACS. Thank you.”

          -David Gillis, Computers made basic

          ACS Keeps Me Operating

          “I run a small – but with customers in many time zones world wide – oil well-log interpretation​ service in Merville.  ACS has built five custom computers for me.  The first with 8 GB of Ram, Then 16 GB of Ram, then 24 GB of Ram, then 96 GB of Ram and the last one was 512 GB of Ram.  My Grandsons now use them all except the last three: these are used in my business.  Occasionally, the computers will come up with glitches.  I take it in to ACS and say I have no idea what is wrong but I need it back running this afternoon.  They also comply as fast as possible.  ACS keeps me operating and I sure appreciate them being available!”

          -Bob E.

          Solid Technical Advice

          “ACS has been giving our company solid technical advice and support for many years, with efficiency in time and cost. Their reassuring support is certainly why I chose to stay with this company; service is everything with computers, it’s how the purchase is backed up later on that makes all of the difference!”

          -Susan Healy, Theme Gardens Ltd.

          Friendly and Helpful

          “I’ve found the guys at ACS to be very friendly and helpful whenever I’ve had an issue or needed new hardware,”

          – Hans Peter Meyer.

          “Step Away….Do Not Touch Anything…Call Thom”

           “As most people, they are great at their skill set and need to outsource the other areas they are not so great at. I would love to be great at everything but I don’t have enough years in my life to obtain the millions of things I would want to learn. One of those areas is the dreaded computer hardware and some software issues. Our office relies heavily on our technology systems and one day without it equates to a lot of work not being done. Thom at ACS Computers is our savior. I really don’t know what we would do without him as I panic the minute the computer tell me to “Step Away….Do Not Touch Anything…call Thom” . Sometimes I can just call their office and Thom can remote in and fix an issue that I have no idea what that foreign language the computer speaks is saying to me. Thom is our “go to” guy but if he is not available then any of the other great guys there can help. All businesses need business “partners” and ACS Computers is one that keeps our business running smoothly.”

          Always Treated Very Well

          “All the staff at ACS computers has always treated me and my company very well, they are willing to do office and house calls to help sort things out, even when the problem is between the keyboard and the chair. I have purchased a few computers, lap tops etc from them, each time they helped me to chose equipment appropriate to my needs, and they have never tried to up sell me something I did not need. I will continue to use their services in the future. Thank you for all your help.”
