SERVICES

IT support that covers what your business actually needs.

Affordable Technology Solutions provides managed IT services to clients throughout the Columbia, South Carolina area, with support available nationwide. We have been doing it since 2004.

01 / HOW WE WORK

There are two ways to work with us.

Both come from the same person who already knows your setup. The difference is whether we are watching for problems, or waiting for your call.

Put your technology on managed support.

We look after it continuously and take responsibility for keeping it running, rather than waiting for your call. It works as a predictable monthly arrangement, so you are not bracing for a surprise invoice every time something needs attention.

Or call us for a single job.

No contract in place? We also fix problems as they come up, from email issues to device repair. The difference between the two is prevention: on demand, we fix what already broke; managed, we are watching for it first.

02 / ONGOING MANAGED SUPPORT

We take responsibility for your technology and keep it running, rather than waiting for your call.

Managed IT services

Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and support for your whole setup. We manage your network, protect against attacks, guard against viruses, back up your data, and watch your hardware for early signs of trouble.

It works as a predictable monthly arrangement, so you are not bracing for a surprise invoice.

What is included

  • Fully managed IT support
  • Remote monitoring and management
  • Patch management
  • Server and workstation management
  • Microsoft 365 administration
  • Google Workspace administration
  • Cloud services and migrations
  • Printer and scanner support
  • Equipment lifecycle management
  • Vendor management
  • Technology consulting and planning
  • Help desk services

Who it suits

Businesses that run on their computers and have no IT department, whether that is a single office or several locations. It also works alongside someone internal who already handles part of this and needs additional support.

What changes for you

You stop being the person who notices. We watch the systems, apply the updates, keep the protections current, and deal with small problems before they turn into downtime. You get one number to call, and a real person answers.

I am a small business owner so I don't have an IT person on staff. Scott fulfills that need for me when I have a technical problem with my computers or other equipment. He responds quickly and is so easy to work with. It is nice to know that his expertise is a phone call away. I recommend him highly and will continue to do business with him. Any professional that makes my business run smoothly is high on my list and Scott at ATS fits the bill.

03 / SECURITY FIRST

Cybersecurity and virus protection

Layered protection that helps keep scams, viruses, and ransomware away from your business and your customer data. Every business is a target, regardless of size, so protection is built into everything we manage.

  • Advanced firewall management
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Zero trust principles
  • Employee security awareness training
  • Virus protection that stays current
  • Secure backups
  • Defenses that help stop attacks
  • Virus removal if something does get through

We explain it without the jargon, so you always know where you stand.

04 / IF THE WORST HAPPENS

Backup and disaster recovery

Your critical data backed up and recoverable, so a failed drive or a bad day does not become a lost week.

  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Business continuity planning
  • Secure backups
  • Data recovery and transfer

The point of all of it is to ensure your valuable data is rarely, if ever, truly lost. A failed drive becomes an inconvenience instead of an emergency, and you know who is doing the restoring. How long a restore takes depends on what failed and how much data is involved, so we work that out with you.

05 / THE NETWORK

Your network gets designed on purpose instead of growing by accident.

Businesses opening an office, moving one, adding a location, or living with wifi that drops in the same corner of the building every week. When something does go wrong, you are not explaining your setup to a stranger, because we already know it.

We design, manage, and monitor your network for safety, efficiency, and functionality. Wired, wireless, and everything between, designed and fixed by people who know your setup.

  • Network design and management
  • Wireless network design
  • Firewall and network security
  • Network troubleshooting
  • Networking services

06 / HELP AS PROBLEMS COME UP

Help desk

Help desk means two things here. If we manage your technology, this is where your team gets unstuck day to day. If we do not manage it, you can still call. No contract in place? We also fix problems as they come up, from email issues to device repair.

We are pleased to offer many of the same services we provide our Managed Services clients on an on-demand basis.

  • Virus removal
  • Data recovery and transfer
  • Network troubleshooting
  • Email and internet issues
  • Networking services
  • Printer management
  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Tutoring sessions
  • Tech setup and device repair

The problem gets fixed, and you are not committing to anything beyond that job. If the same problem keeps coming back, we will say so, and you can decide for yourself whether ongoing support makes more sense.

I wanted to personally send out a thank you and recommend Scott Sanders and Affordable Technology Solutions, LLC for the great service they have provided my company over the past several years. It seems that the need for expert computer system related service comes at the most inconvenient times and Scott has ALWAYS been there to support my business

07 / WHAT THIS COSTS

We do not publish prices.

A price set without looking at your setup is a guess.

What it comes to depends on the size of your network, how many devices and users you have, and whether you want ongoing managed services or on-demand help. That is why we start with a free consultation: we look at your setup first, then give you a clear recommendation.

Managed support works as a predictable monthly arrangement, so you know what is coming.

Home user with a computer problem? We help with that too.

ATS has supported home users alongside businesses since 2004. Virus removal, data recovery and transfer, home network troubleshooting, networking for a house full of devices, email and internet problems, backups, tutoring in person or remotely, and repair for laptops, desktops, iPhones and Android devices.
