Fundamental things to consider to manage computers for small businesses

If you have one computer or 100 computers in your office, you need to understand there are several basic things to consider in making computer management easier. If you are one of those lucky folks who don't need old technology like DOS, Windows 3x, Windows 95 or 98, you can easily standardize your computer management. We recommend getting your computer products from one reputable company if possible. This will give you consistent supports and quality. You then have to make sure you keep your manuals and device driver CDs that come with your computers in a safe place. Put them in one folder and mark it for each computer. You also need to keep your product keys for all your software such as Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Antivirus, antispam and other software. This is in case you need to re-install your Windows. Finally, make sure you make frequent backups and update your antivirus, antispam and operating system patches on a regular basic.
