... but if you expect an IT department to do more, we probably do that already. Call us to discuss today. We offer::
”Dave from Heaton Computers has been a real breath of fresh air for our business. He is available over the phone to help troubleshoot with minor issues, (that us none techies have from time to time) right through to coming into our office and setting up our network, peripherals and software when it was needed. ”
- Sharon Seville, F1rst Commercial Recruitment.
We have 15 years of experience working with hundreds of small businesses and many large corporates. Our approach has always been to use the same four steps in everything we do - we will talk to you; understand your needs; agree a plan and deliver it on time.
We provide fast & professional IT support. We'll keep your systems unning and help you get the very best out of IT for your business. You won't get through to a faceless call centre, you'll know who you are dealing with all the time. We can visit you, or do it remotely - whatever you like.
”We invited Heaton Computers to work with our team to assess current business processes, growth plans and infrastructure. We look forward to working with Heaton Computers again as a trusted, complementary associate to our business”
- Hilary Stephenson, Managing Director, Sigma Consulting Solutions UK
Our customers tell us that we're like their 'safety net'. Whilst they are often happy to deal with some issues, have the reassurance that we're there for them whenever they need, is reassuring.
Backup is all about understanding risk and cost. Risk of failure, and cost of recovery.
We know. But we like boring. Trust us, it's not boring when you really need something back and you haven't tested your backups in two years. Backups are more about 'recovery' than backing up. We'll implement a solution that suits you, and prove to you regularly that your data can be restored whenever you need it, with no fuss.
For small and medium businesses, our most common backup solutions are based on online services. This eliminates the need for any investment in hardware, tapes & drives and the associated management.
Technology aside, we aim to implement the solution right for you and one that will reduce monthly costs. Most importantly, you will be comfortable knowing that your data is safe.
"Heaton Computers installed a simple solution that I have never had to worry about since. I lost some important files after a computer was stolen, and we recovered them within minutes, and without needing access to the original computer."
- Lorne Hamill, WOW Training Ltd.
Looking to save IT costs and resource? Looking to get greener? We love simplicity and hate complexity. If it doesn't need to be there, then we can get rid of it. Our customers tell us that they would love to do this, but worry about breaking something important.
We are experts in identifying what can be removed, what can be consolidated and what can be left safely in place.
If you have multiple servers, have you considered virtualising them? This process allows one server to perform the work of many. This can massively cut cost and complexity.
Computer rooms are expensive and use valuable floor space. We use sound proofed racks to store all your networking equipment and servers within normal office environments, no fancy computer room needed.
"..in particular, the sound-proof server rack has allowed us to overhaul our development, test and production environment, for office and mobile workers, without the need to fit out a full server room."
- Hilary Stephenson, Managing Director, Sigma Consulting Solutions UK
Moving offices can be as stressful as moving house. Moving an entire IT infrastructure is about a lot of details. We have many years experiencing consulting on, and implementing IT infrastructure moves. From cabling & networking to entire computer room shifts, we can assist or take over.
Our customers tell us that their biggest concern is service interruption - not being able to work during the move. We can keep you working continuously during a move and ensure the transition into your new office is as painless as possible.
"Dave was responsible for the IT moves for four of our offices within one year. His attention to detail and his management of our concerns was something we could not have done without."
- NM, Rullion Alltrades.

"Heaton Computers listened to what we wanted and produced a fast and precise proposal. We could have bought from ebuyer but we want the security of knowing someone has our backs when there are problems".

We offer a full range of web site services, from design, through copywriting and Content Management Systems.
We specialise in PHP, Content Management Systems, and like nothing better than to delve into the html, css, javascript and AJAX that modern sites need these days. If you have an existing site, we'd love to talk to you about what you could do with it.
How much do you pay your current website host to make changes in a year? What if you could change the content yourself?
We can upgrade your existing site to a fully content managed system. Via a simple web interface, you will then be able to make changes to the content and images whenever you like, no specialist knowledge required. You'll never call us again!
Good question. As small business owners ourselves, we understand the pressures and demands of your business. We don't wear all the hats and sometimes we outsource elements of our work to specialists. That way we can pick and choose our experts. You get the benefits of having a one stop shop with specialist resource, at our low costs.
