Services
IT help for your business.
Six areas I can help with. We can discuss a one-time project or ongoing support, depending on your setup.
Email and domain setup
I register and manage domains, configure DNS, and set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Email checks such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC can help reduce delivery problems and messages pretending to come from your domain, but they can't prevent every problem.
Common problems I help with
- Emails going to spam or bouncing
- Nobody knows who controls the domain or DNS
- Moving from a personal or old provider to business email
- Spoofed emails pretending to come from your company
Server builds and migrations
I build and migrate the servers your business runs on: Active Directory, application servers, Remote Desktop Services, and SQL. When a cloud move makes sense, we plan the work and discuss likely downtime before starting.
Common problems I help with
- Aging server that's out of support
- Logins and permissions that are a mess
- Line-of-business app that needs a new home
- Deciding whether the cloud is actually right for you
Network and firewall
I design and install firewalls and switches, separate guest and business traffic, set up secure VPN access for remote staff, and fix Wi-Fi that drops or crawls.
Common problems I help with
- Slow or spotty Wi-Fi
- Guests on the same network as your files
- Staff who can't reliably work from home
- Consumer-grade router running a business
Storage, backup, and power
I help set up shared storage, backup testing, and recovery plans. A properly sized and configured battery backup (UPS) can provide time to shut equipment down during a power outage. Protection depends on the equipment and setup.
Common problems I help with
- No idea if backups are working
- Files scattered across personal laptops
- Equipment damaged by power blips
- Ransomware worries
Endpoint and application support
When a computer, printer, or application stops cooperating, I help investigate the cause and discuss repair or replacement options — on-site in the Bozeman area or remotely.
Common problems I help with
- Recurring error messages nobody can explain
- Slow computers and failing hardware
- Software that won't install or update
- Printers and scanners that refuse to work
Secure websites
I build straightforward business websites and help with hosting, updates, and security settings. These measures can reduce risk, but no website is immune to outages or attacks.
Common problems I help with
- Outdated site that's hard to update
- Site hacked or flagged as unsafe
- No one knows where the site is hosted
- Expired SSL certificate warnings
Not sure which of these you need?
That's normal. Describe the problem and I'll tell you what it'll take.
