Independent Professional
When you work for yourself, technology has a different role. There may be no corporate network, IT department, or technical staff to call when something stops working. Your computer, Internet connection, email, files, applications, backup, security, and communications may represent nearly the entire technology infrastructure of your business.
PCS provides technology solutions for independent professionals who need that infrastructure to work reliably without becoming technology experts themselves. Whether you work from a home office, private office, client locations, or wherever the work takes you, the objective is to create a dependable computing environment that supports the way you actually conduct business.
An independent professional may depend upon technology for:
• Client and business communications
• Documents, records, proposals, and contracts
• Accounting and financial information
• Industry-specific applications
• Email, calendars, and contact information
• Video meetings and remote collaboration
• Secure storage and backup of important information
• Reliable access while working away from the primary office
The difference between an independent professional and a larger organization is important. When an employee’s computer fails, the organization may have another computer, another employee, or an IT department available to keep the work moving. For a self-employed professional, the person whose computer stopped working may also be the person responsible for sales, customer service, administration, production, and delivering the work.
That makes reliability and recovery particularly important. PCS can help select and maintain appropriate computers, protect important information with backup, secure the system and network, configure applications and peripherals, and provide remote assistance when technical problems interrupt the work.
Your Office May Be Wherever You Are
Independent work is not necessarily tied to one desk. A professional may work from a home office one day, meet with a client the next, and travel with a laptop containing access to important business information. PCS can help make those transitions practical while considering security, connectivity, backup, and access to the resources required to remain productive.
Remote support can also be particularly valuable to an independent professional. When the computer has a working Internet connection, PCS may be able to diagnose and resolve a problem without requiring the professional to abandon the workday and transport the computer to the Service Center. When dedicated bench work or on-site assistance is required, the appropriate service can be scheduled.
PCS provides technology support for independent professionals throughout Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay, and surrounding communities. When you are the business, your technology needs to support your work—not become another job you have to manage.
