The Story: A Cautionary Tale
- Neglected IT Infrastructure: After 5 years of radio silence, a panicked non-managed client reached out to us when their aging computer, hosting their crucial order processing system, malfunctioned.
- DIY Mishap: Attempting to fix the issue themselves, the client inadvertently worsened the situation by installing the wrong part, leading to a cascade of problems.
- Costly Consequences: The subsequent visit to a local repair shop and improper part replacement led to the corruption of critical files, including the Windows Operating System and the database containing vital client data.
- Backup Oversight: The client’s failure to maintain updated database backups exacerbated the crisis, with the only available backup being approximately 5 years old.
The Solution: Managed IT Services

- Remote Support: Swift remote intervention by a managed IT provider would have prevented the corruption of the operating system and database, substantially reducing the overall cost of the incident.
