IT Management and Computer Services for Business

The IT services we offer businesses throughout Shropshire and the West Midlands are broadly categorised under the menu options to the left, but we like to think we don't fit neatly into boxes. We cover a broad range of traditional IT Management tasks from Desktop Support, Asset Management, Network Installations and Infrastructure Design through to Information Security, Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery.

Our strategic consultancy looks at your business operation as a whole and advises on ways technology can be explioted to best achieve your business objectives in the context of your commercial environment. We use formally proven tools and techniques to analyse your business requirements, current capabilities, and identify, in information system terms, what you need to do to close the gap. This is a service independent of major software vendors. We will recommend what we see as the best course of action for your business.

We are mindful that many of the traditional IT disciplines are becoming irrelevant to small business. Many of the services and systems required are available on-line for little or no cost reducing your business IT infrastructure, and consequent support overhead, to the physical computers you use and whatever you need to connect to the internet. Where these options are appropriate we will recommend them. If you are contemplating buying Microsoft Small Business Server talk to us first about the  alternative approaches.

If you are planning some major changes (for example implementation of new software, upgrade of hardware or an office move or expansion) talk to us about our Project Management service.

Our web design and hosting service specialises in functional web apllications that work for your business. If you already have a web site and think it could be working better ask about our search optimisation service.

At estm we thrive on the unusual and love solving problems. If you don't see an article that relates to your area of interest it probably just means we haven't got round to writing it yet, so phone us on 01746 708114 or e-mail now to discuss your situation and let us turn IT into a competitive advantage for your business.
