Abletek ONECARE Features & Advantages

Network Documentation (Included in all plans):

All ONECARE Managed Service Plans include a full and up to date network documentation and inventory within two weeks of paid engagement. We will provide adequate documentation detailing all servers, all workstations, all peripherals, all installed software and detailed descriptions of hardware and settings of your network. These documents will be kept up-to-date and we will provide a VARIANCE REPORT quarterly or upon request. A variance report will show that an item (software or hardware) has been added or taken out (for example – if a "stick" of memory has "walked out" of a PC – this will be immediately flagged as an item of concern). The same will be done for licensed and unlicensed installation of software.

Reporting (Included in all plans):

  • Hardware and Software Inventory
  • Changes to Computer Hardware or Software
  • Disk Utilization
  • License Usage
  • Network Usage and Statistics
  • Server and Workstation Uptime History
  • Help Desk Trouble Tickets

Go from REACTIVE to PROACTIVE (Included in all plans):

Reliability, high availability and uptime are no longer an option in today’s networks. All ONECARE Managed Service Plans include the installation of Level Platforms Software, the defacto standard in network management which allows us to monitor every heartbeat of your network. We can anticipate and proactively correct problems that can potentially be disastrous to your network, often before you know about them, and before they become a catastrophe bringing your network or server down.

Network Alerting and Monitoring (Included in all plans):

  • Backups not completed
  • Exchange or Email Store getting too big
  • Down Internet
  • RAID & Disk health
  • Security threat detection
  • Low disk space
  • Microsoft updates & patch versions
  • PLUS hundreds of other items, services and functions
  • Antivirus update problems
  • Windows services stopped
  • Down Router
  • TCP Ports not responding
  • Down Server
  • Internet service problems
  • Hardware & Software changes
  • Inappropriate use of computers or network

Alerts are also generated when rogue services or applications get installed (Did someone install a Peer to Peer application and open up a PORT to your network? Did someone download and install questionable or non business related software on your network?) ONECARE monitoring gives you peace of mind that your network is monitored 24/7/365 with proactive response to alerts. We can even provide email notifications to you or you’re designate on all issues which generate a service or support response.

Customer Advocate (CA) On Staff (Included in all plans):

ABLETEK will assign a Customer Advocate (CA) to your account. The CA is a customer support specialist who will be involved in all aspects of providing service or solutions to your company. The CA will conduct a COMPLETE technology review and analysis of your network at least twice each year and personally meet with you to discuss changes in your technology infrastructure, assist planning for future equipment needs, upgrades, moves, adds, changes, and anything else that is affecting your company’s technology resources so as to continuously have a "road map" with predictable budgets when possible. In addition to the systems engineer assigned to provide onsite service, the CA will be responsible for maintaining your overall account, providing advice, quotes, counseling and guidance on technology matters and to insure that we consistently meet or exceed your expectations.

Software Deployment And Updates (Optional):

ONECARE plans include the ability to remotely deploy virtually any software to any workstation. Go from DAYS to hours in most cases. Patching of installed software is also included.

Network Policy Enforcement (Optional):

Enforce network Policies by permitting or denying users to applications, or specific files/folders. Our ONECARE team will work with you to define and implement network policies that meet best practice standards for security, user access, remote access and protection of your company’s valuable and confidential data.

Anti-Spam Option (Optional):

Eliminate 99% of your Spam NOW without installing anything on the desktops or the Servers. This is an optional hosted solution where your Email gets "scrubbed" FIRST by a filtering server and then gets sent to you (in less than 3 seconds). Since 8 out of 10 Emails today are junk, you get to enjoy having your bandwidth BACK to you (and not bogged down by Spam). Best of all, if your internet or Email goes down, it retains your Email for 96 hours. While there is normally no need for fine tuning, users have their own dashboard to examine quarantined spam. There is a onetime per email address setup fee.

Off Site Backup (Optional)

Whether your data is located on a Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server, or a workstation, ONECARE has you covered. ABLETEK can backup your files nightly and retain the most recent 5 copies. We can even backup open files, and Unix/Linux Servers. In case of a disaster, you can retrieve your files quickly by going to a secure site and downloading all data that was backed up.

We will place this server at your site for up to ten (10) days at no charge.
