SERVICES

Consulting:  What can a consultant do for you? First of all he can bring you a broad base of experience and in-dept knowledge of the industry.  Since most computers are sold via mail order or by large electronic or office supply stores one can buy a computer just about anywhere for just about any price.  But what is the assurance that you will be getting the best use of your computer?  And which one?  Which software?   Who is going to train?  NCC can help you!  With over 33 years experience developing, programming, selecting and installing networks and software - we can help you find, purchase, install and train the right system for you.

Hardware:   NCC will assist you in selecting the right hardware from your choice of vendors.  We'll help you select the vendor and be with you when you buy it if you prefer.  We'll sell you the hardware too from our vendor, HORIZON Microsystems in Tigard, OR.  We've sold over $1,000,000.00 of Horizon Systems since 1986.  We'll install the software on your hardware and show you how to use it.   We'll train your staff and remain on call 24 hrs a day!

Software: NCC will analyze your business or home needs and assist you in selection and purchase of the software that best fits your needs.  Whether it is Back Office Accounting, Point of Sale, Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Manufacturing or other - we'll assist and be right there throughout the installation and training.  For the home we recommend Quicken and for small business we may recommend QuickBooks.  Only after an in depth analysis of your needs can we find the right software for you.

Networking: One of the most popular items that businesses add to their computer systems as they grow in their use of microcomputers is to add networking.  This allows two or more computers to be connected together using a network cable that resembles a telephone wire.  Each computer must contain a Network Interface Card or NIC.   This allows the whole company to share data and peripherals such as printers, CD-ROM and tape among all computers at one location.  This is called a Local Area Network or LAN.  When multiple locations are connected, routers interconnect the company sites into a Wide Area Network or WAN.  NCC can get your network on line!

Internet:   NCC can develop your web site for you.   From start to finish, register your domain, even start web commerce to get that out of town, world-wide business!   We can also put up an Intranet.  This is a company only web site available only on your LAN or WAN.  Using the TCPI/P protocol and Microsoft Web products this is now a rather simple inexpensive process.

Troubleshooting:   NCC can investigate your computer problems on site.  We make house calls.  Let us know when and we'll be there.  Our low $49.00 hourly rate limits your costs up front.  Depending on the problem, we may fix it right away.  NCC is available 24 hours a day!

Training: NCC can show you how to use what you already have to the fullest extent possible.  In 1997/98 we trained over 500 people in MS-Office 95 and 97, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT and we now provide training for Windows ME/2000/XP as well as Office 2000 and XP.
