If you are in need of any specific services or have a particular requirements please let us know and we will try our best to help and assist you.

In the world of IT the availability of computer systems and laptops is much better but webcams and monitors can still be hard to source. If you are in need of any of these items please let us know ASAP so we can try and source stock.

Included below, are links to a variety of our blog article that provide some help and solutions on how best to return to work in the current environment - whether you are starting to return back to the office or are working remotely.

COVID-19 Information

DP Computing is still providing both onsite and remote support to ensure our clients keep on operating. As a business we are continually monitoring the latest government updates regarding the caronavirus and taking all necessary precautions. We currently have a policy for technicians to follow and some of our technicians will be working from their homes. If anyone at your site has COVID-19 symptoms or has returned from interstate or overseas recently we will not be attending the site and instead will be offering remote support. If this causes any issues with clients, we apologise in advance.

We have been informed that due to the fact that a number of our clients are deemed as essential services we will still be offering onsite services and support even in the event of a full lockdown. Whether this means we can also attend other clients premises is not known at this stage.

Remote services can also be used where we do not even need to come into your office or business. Depending on you issue we may insist that we try and solve your issues remotely before we come onsite. If you prefer remote services also please let us know.

We can also help businesses with transitioning their staff to work from home. If you or your staff members would like to work remotely please let us know as we can help set this up.

Out and About

Luckily for us we have still been busy during this time and some of the previously planned projects are still going ahead. Some of our work over the past month includes:

  • Ben and Bevin have been busy working through the night installing Cisco routers and switches at a number of sites across Adelaide.
  • We are currently in the middle of rolling out over 260 VOIP phones to a finance customer in Bedford Park.
  • Upgrading the Internet links for a client in the CBD.
  • Finalising the cabling for a clients new office.
  • Helping some retail clients get their IT systems in order for when they reopen their shops.
  • Moving a manufacturing clients emails into the cloud.

Yet with COVID-19 sending so many people home to work, the shared computer is getting a lot more use and is now also being used for business or corporate work.
