PCs and laptops are one of the most important elements of any companies IT infrastructure. They are the front-line troops and because of this you need quality, reliability and above all else you need machines that are fit for purpose.

Dtex Consulting will work with you to understand your needs. We know that you will want all computers to be effective and reliable for a number of years before being replaced so we will find the most appropriate solution from only the most respected and reliable manufacturers.

We will install and configure any new machines to ensure that they are ready to go, secure and updated with any available software updates as well as providing experienced support to both new computers and also any existing ones that you already have.

It's usually a mistake to purchase the most powerful PC you can if all it will ever be used for is internet acces, email and the occasional word processing document.

In the same way buying the cheapest you can find often turns out to be a false economy. It won't be able to perform even the simplest tasks at anything more than a snail's pace. Sooner rather than later this will lead to frustration and it's only going to get worse over time!

We will only supply computers from reputable manufacturers which means that you get reliability, warrantees you can trust and good value. Respected brands means state of the art manufacturing facilities which provide economy of scale along with tried and tested components.

Every company knows that computers go wrong, and our commitment doesn't end when the computer is installed.

Many of our clients have told us about the frustration caused by support companies that turn up late, and sometimes not at all! Our commitment to all our clients is that we turn up when we say we will, or we will let you know in advance if we can't and will rearrange our visit.

A file server provides the heart of any network that has more than one computer attached to it.

It allows you to share resources, such as printers and files, and provides a secure environment that gives you the confidence that your company imformation is safe.

With centralised security your employees will be able to login at any computer with the same credentials and access all the shared resources they need.

When a reliable backup solution is included you can have all the benefits of sharing and security as well as knowing that all your important company data is secure from hardware loss, viruses and human error.
