We at Tru It Support have decided not to take part in the current recession, we will leave that to others.
As competitors hunker down and prepare for tough times we are brim full of confidence and know that Tru It Support and our customers have an unprecedented opportunity to grow.
Major companies like ANZ bank, Brookfield Multiplex, General Motors Holden, are sheding hundreds of jobs in an apparent financial panic attack. It looks like they are doing their best to fulfil the prophecies of the doom sayers.
Lets face it if every company sacked their staff there would be no one to buy their goods or services. Contraction causes recessions, Expansion ends recessions.
It is the companies and people that get on with it and expand that will save our collective hides.
Not the government and certainly not the spooked over priced CEO's of some of our major companies.
This is the time for the optimists to prosper and at Tru It Support we are optimists.

Your IT system should be simple reliable and effective.
Some times having two servers can be more cost effective than having one.

Sometimes it is better to have you internet and,or mail server or both in house.
At TruItSupport we support all of the above solutions and have been able to save our customers time and money by recommending the best fit, not the most expensive solution.
We are going to continue to sell our "Hot Dogs". Damn the recession, lets all get on with business give us a call or send us a Contact.
We have included this apocryphal story because of its relevance to the current situation in Australia

The Hotdog vendor:
There was a man who lived on a road out of town who sold hot dogs.
He was an immigrant and so had limited English.
His education was poor and he could not read.
But he sold great hot dogs.
He put up signs on the road telling how good they were.
He stood on the side of the road and cried; "Hot dogs for sale"?
And people bought.
He increased his sausage and bun orders.
He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade.
Business was good and he was making lots of money.
During the holidays his son came home from university to help him out.
But then something happened.
His son said, "Dad haven't you been listening to the radio?
The newspapers are saying we are all doomed?
There's a big depression coming.
The European situation is frightening.
The domestic situation is getting worse."
Where upon the father thought, "well, my son's been to university, he reads and he listens to the radio, and he ought to know."
So the father cut down on his sausage and bun orders, took down his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the side of the road to sell his hot dogs.
And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight.
"You're right, my boy" the father said to his son.
"We certainly are in a great depression."
If you want to keep selling your "Hotdogs" you need good IT support,so contact TruItSupport now !

Are you wasting money and resources by having equipment that is too old?
Compact fluorescent performance decreases over time.
While a filament does exist in these lamps, the real work of making light is done by the gas discharge. The light bulb does not just “burn out,” but instead slowly degrades over time putting out less and less light. Because this decay is slow it often goes unnoticed by users until the performance is well below acceptable. The same thing applies to computer monitors. Staff are often staring a monitors that are several years old. This is not only a work place safety issue as it effects the well being of the user but it lowers efficiency of the workers as they strain to comprehend quickly and accurately exactly what they are reading. Given the relative low cost of these devices there is little excuse for not having you monitors less than three years old.
"Whilst it is not exactly the same thing you do get a similar loss of efficiency with windows based computers over time. As the computer gets used more and more and as programs are added and removed there is an apparent loss of performance."
This loss of performance also effects the output of the user so it is also a wise idea to keep the life of your computers relative low if you want to get the best out of your staff. Just as running old fluorescent lamps is a false economy so is running old computer equipment.
