Blue Screen of Death

Many of our customers have been getting in touch with us lately about this.  More and more common on XP systems is the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).  It's a sad sight, both for users and administrators alike.  Not always easy to troubleshoot, and often times even harder to fix, the BSOD usually means one thing, you're going to have to re-install your operating system.  TH2 Technologies is able to do this for you, and more often than not, we can save your files as well.

The recent influx of blue screened machines is likely due to a patch that Microsoft pushed for a vulnerability.  This patch works against Malware or Spyware that is hiding on a system, causing it blue screen.  It's not Microsoft's fault (Well, it kind of is...), but it really brings up an interesting topic.  There really are A LOT of people out there running their computer every day for tasks such as online banking, payroll, insurance, and even hosting massive client databases with private information who have spyware on their computer and don't know it.  There are several easy and fast ways to protect yourself.  Get in touch with a TH2 Technologies specialist to protect your system, business and client's information today.

VoIP Telephones

How many people out there are interested in it?  Do you know what VoIP (or VOIP / Voice over Internet Protocol) is, what it does, or how it can help you reduce business (or even home) overhead?  VoIP is a form of internet phone (to put it simply).  Instead of your calls going across the regular phone lines, they travel across the internet, and when they reach a local switchboard (where you are placing the call to), they are then transferred to the local telephone lines.  This is far more cost effective for the providers, because every call is like a local call, and those savings are passed on to you and your business.  Most home users would pay an average of $53 dollars a month (with tax) for unlimited nationwide calling for a regular phone line (Call waiting, voicemail, caller ID, etc).  Many VoIP solutions can offer the same service to home users (Vonage anyone?) for $32 a month (also with tax), some going as low as free lifetime use after you purchase the equipment (Ooma).

This type of service only scratches the surface of what there is out there, and we here at TH2 are working to provide our clients with viable solutions, and even give them the option to keep their existing phone systems and numbers in place.  We have taken a few clients phone bills and matched services for them with quotes.  One company would save $900 a month, all while keeping their current configuration.  This was very important to them, as they had spent quite a lot of money on a very complex phone system and phones.

If you would just like to see that you can save by switching to a VoIP phone system, give us a call!  We would be happy to get you a quote.
