Facilitate Technology Information

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 end of life.. July 14th 2015 is the official end of extended support date for Windows Server 2003 products. Last year we saw clients rush to upgrade their Windows XP desktops although it appears that everyone is taking a more prudent approach with their servers. If it hasn't already been discussed with us, we recommend that an upgrade plan be prepared as soon as possible, so please contact your support managers to discuss further. Changes in weather demonstrate the importance of DR planning for businesses of all sizes.. The past months have seen an increase in hardware failures due to the changing weather. This simply highlights the need for a solid power and ambient temperature control system for all server rooms, no matter how small. In some cases we've seen disasters due to outdated hardware, where our recommended refresh schedule hasn't been followed; so please discuss this with your support manager prior to the warmer months at the end of the year. We've been using Facilitate as an technology partner for over 10 years now. Being a smaller business, we don't have the luxuary of hiring a team of experts so outsourcing was always going to be the more viable option; with Facilitate you get more than a help desk number, you get a team that bats for your business. Our Facilitate Technology account manager's service over the years has been very commendable and consistent and their work ethic is top quality and professional. We greatly value Facilitate Technology's guidence in transforming our company's IT and keeping us ahead of the game.
