Help & Support


Whatever computer help or support you need, Provide IT will be able to facilitate. Our commitment to you is that we'll do our utmost to help you overcome all your computer problems and challenges.

Tutorials

We're able to provide for all of your computer learning needs, whether you need a tutorial on how to turn on your computer, advanced programming tips, or somewhere in between. Our IT qualified trainer has years of training experience and a lot of patience!

Provide IT will fully customise your tutorial according to your experience and requirements.

Remote Support

No matter where you are, if you've got access to the Internet, we're able to easily work with you to establish a remote connection. This will enable us to either take control of you're computer in order to investigate and fix your computer issues remotely (without having to visit you), or to clone your screen (make a live copy while you're in control), so we can see what is causing your problem.

Don't worry, you will need to first download and install the software and then approve every remote support session, before it can occur.

Provide IT's Remote Support is ideal if you need to:

  • Install or configure software
  • Carry out scanning or diagnostics
  • Address security issues such as spyware and viruses
  • Carry out time critical changes, to get you up again in a hurry
  • Show us what's happenning, so we know what to explain or fix

Onsite Support

If the problem is a bit more difficult, or you'd prefer not to use remote support, we're always able to come out to you for an onsite visit.

Offsite Support

If the problem is really tricky, we can always bring your computer back to our workshop and fix it there, or you can also arrange with us to drop it by yourself.

Maintenance & Repairs


We'll work together with you to help prevent or minimise problems, with our maintenance services. If your computer system continually crashes or freezes or is broken down, has been infected by a virus, or is causing you problems, we'll be there with our bag of computer techniques and knowledge, in order to get your system back up and running.

Preventative Maintenance

A proactive approach to maintenance helps to avoid downtime and reduce problems.

We can either help you set up your maintenance procedures or come and do them for you.

Preventative Maintenance procedures include:

  • Hardware cleaning and service
  • Anti-virus update & system check
  • Data back-up check
  • Security audit
  • Critical software updates

Data Backups

For the majority of users, data backup is an important, but often overlooked, procedure.

When not carried out, it could mean the loss of all your images, emails and documents, should a catasrophic system failure occur,

Hardware Repairs

With today's solid state circuitry, it is usually cheaper to replace than repair, but in the cases where that's not the case or where a simple component can be replaced, we can help.

System Recoveries

If your system has broken down due to an operating system error, inappropriate software being installed, or some hardware conflict, we're often able to rectify the problem and get your system running again.

System Restores

If your system has been infected by a virus, or it has been filled up by bloatware (software you don't need), a system restore is sometimes needed.

We can do either an Operating System re-install, or a Factory Restore, with or without retaining your data.

Data Recovery

In the unfortunate case that you haven't done a recent data backup and your existing hardware has given up the ghost, or you're computer has been infected by a virus, we are often able to recover your data for you.

Purchases & Installation


Unless you're really familiar with the latest technological trends, it's usually difficult to know what you really need to purchase and how to install it.

Technology Consulting

Keeping up with today's ever changing technology is very difficult nowadays. Our technology expertise enables us to provide you with information on the various possible technology options that you have and also to make recommendations.

You'll be delighted with the improvement in productivity that your business will experience and with our highly competitive rates.

Nowadays, there is a lot of high quality free software (Freeware) available. We can advise on freeware options for your software needs and if needed we can also download and correctly install them for you.
