IT Solutions for the Consultant
As a consultant, working by yourself, you need access to your information
from your home office, and from your client’s site. It’s important to
stay protected, and have access to business-grade IT solutions – but
not at large-company prices (after all, it’s only you!).
You don’t have to be on your
own when it comes to IT – pay small-business prices
for large-company solutions.
There is a way to get access to many of the solutions that large organisations
have - without having to invest in large IT systems. Project
five can supply
you with an Exchange mailbox (so that you’ve got remote access to your email,
it’s synchronised across your desktop PC and your laptop, and it’s fully backed
up – unlike most POP email solutions).
Running a small consultancy business is not the time to be using consumer-based
solutions. We see many businesses using solutions that are clearly aimed at
the home-user/consumer. And for little, or no extra cost, business solutions
are available – if you know where to look.
Your business needs to act like a business, and the latest Media Centre PC from
the High Street may not be the right way to go – especially when the kids are
using it during the evenings!
Projectfive started from the spare bedroom. Back in 2002 that’s all
there was – and it was really hard to find the IT solutions that we needed
– and even harder to find a company that understood what we were going
through. Since then, we’ve grown, but we still remember what it was
like – and many of our customers today are in that exact same situation
– the only difference is that they’ve got us on their side!

What will make the difference for you?
- Your own Domain Name.
- OutlookProfessional – a proper business email solution.
- The right backup solution –burning a CD won’t be enough for you if
things go wrong - we’ve seen it so many times before!
- A simple website that gets you noticed, and shows a real return on
investment.
- Correctly configured home/office network
- Allowing the kids to do their homework, without impacting your work.
- Shared access to a printer – you don’t want more than one printer
at home.
- Email access on the road – without having to re-read your emails
when you get back to your PC.
- Effective telephone solutions – access to your Voicemail in real-time,
and telephone calls received on the move.
