The "power user" is a special breed. They know their system inside and out and find every trick they can to make their PC perform at its absolute best.

If you are one of these types of users, VISION COMPUTING has a host of services especially designed for you.

VISION COMPUTING provides a diverse range of technical, graphical, and educational computer services. Our goal is to help you get the most from your computing tools.

• System Design, Set-up and Support Services for Advanced Users Technology changes so fast it is virtually impossible to keep up with it all. If you are considering a system upgrade or implementing a new server, VISION COMPUTING has the experience to help you. We have over 15 years of technical background on a variety of systems using a wide range of applications. We specialize in computing on personal computers and small Unix servers. We have extensive experience with Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows 3.x, MS-DOS, and a variety of Unix "flavors", especially AIX and Ultrix. In addition to PC and Unix support, we also provide networking, software design and programming, database engineering, and a range of other system support services. For users who prefer to do some or all of the systems work themselves, we offer group training and individual tutoring specifically designed for advanced users. Let us put our expertise and experience to work for you when you're ready to build that new computer or upgrade your existing system. VISION COMPUTING is not affiliated with any computer manufacturers or software companies. The recommendations and suggestions we provide our clients are based on our experience with the products or careful analysis of product evaluations in the trade journals, magazines, and on the Internet. Our goal is to find you the best hardware and software that meets your needs and budget. The software or programs on your system are what really do the work for you. Choosing the right software is a formidable task. Today's computer programs are extremely varied and complex. VISION COMPUTING provides you the knowledge and expertise to select the right software. As with hardware, we do not represent, nor directly sell, any software company's products. We believe each user should select the computer products they need based on which products best fit your needs. To this end, VISION COMPUTING will help you choose your software from the full spectrum of available packages. In addition to commercial software, VISION COMPUTING has extensive experience with "freeware" and "shareware" products. We analyze your needs and recommend programs from small freeware programs for those on a tight budget to high-end commercial products for your business and engineering requirements. The goal is to match the tool with the task. Contact us to get details on how VISION COMPUTING can provide technical and engineering support for your computer systems. • Upgrade and Repair Services for Advanced Users When you're ready to expand your system or replace it with the latest high-end workstation or server, VISION COMPUTING has the expertise you need. For the small business or engineering power user, we can design and construct your server, configure your network and domain to achieve maximum performance, upgrade your office automation programs, and provide hardware and software technical support. We know your business data are the lifeblood of your organization and our goal is to keep your systems fully functional. When your data isn't moving, your company isn't moving and we can make sure that doesn't happen. Unfortunately, like other machines, computers do break down from time to time. Both hardware and software are subject to problems and we provide a full range of on-site repair services. In the event of failure, our goal is to get your computers up and running quickly so you can get back to work. To minimize your downtime we offer a range of preventive maintenance services designed to catch and correct problems before catastrophic failure occurs. These measures include disk tuning, virus checking, and installing software "patches." Additionally, we can protect your information with various backup and archiving services. For folks at smaller facilities who don't want to worry about their own backups, we will come to your site and perform regular backups and system archives and we save your data using industry standard formats such as a variety of tape formats, Zip disks, CD-W, and floppy diskettes. At larger facilities where system backups are a daily chore, VISION COMPUTING can automate your backups using a variety of software tools and systems scripts. Contact us for details on these backup services and other system support offered by VISION COMPUTING for advanced business and technical power users. • Graphics and Image Creation Services for Advanced Users The ability to produce graphical images can be a benefit to any user. Once you understand how to create, manipulate, and utilize computer generated images, the artistic possibilities are endless. Even for people who say "I can't draw," the computer can be a tool for producing a variety of graphics. VISION COMPUTING offers many graphical services. We can create the illustrations you need or we can show you how to create your own sophisticated imagery. We have expertise in designing logos, letterheads, stationary, mailers, product lists, cards, signs, posters, announcements, newsletters, catalogs, maps, presentation slides, and web graphics. From a simple logo to a complex diagram, we can create the graphics you need for your company's desktop publishing project or web pages. As with most of our services, if you prefer to do some or all of the work yourself, we can provide personalized training and tutoring services. We also provide scanning and digital image enhancement services. If your graphics project requires photography, such as pictures of your products for a brochure or on-line catalog, we will work with our sister company VISION IMAGES to provide your photographic needs. Contact us for details on our graphics and image creation services. Examples of our graphics work and computer generated images can be seen on our Portfolio page. • Web Site Design and Development Services for Advanced Users If your company or organization is getting ready to go online and you need a new web site constructed or your existing web pages need some enhancements, VISION COMPUTING can help you. We provide a comprehensive suite of graphics, web site design, and server support services designed to maximize your company's use of the Internet and World Wide Web. The Internet is the place to be if you want your business moving forward and VISION COMPUTING provides a range of services that keep you moving on the global fast track. All our web products are designed to fit into the goals and plans of your business. Our staff will help you integrate your web presence into other aspects of your business including advertising, marketing, product and service information, sales, and customer support. As with other aspects of computing, we believe a web site is just a tool used to achieve a higher goal. We make sure your web site helps you achieve your goals. We offer three types of web site products. First, for those wanting a web presence on a budget, we start with a simple web advertisement page. Moving up the scale, for individuals or small organizations (scout troops, clubs, associations, events, reunions, etc.), we design mid-priced personal web sites. Finally, for businesses and larger organizations that require on-line forms and data base interfacing, we create commercial web sites. All web sites implemented by VISION COMPUTING include registering the site with many of the major World Wide Web "search engines." Search engines allow web surfers to find your site when they are searching on appropriate categories and keywords. Having your site properly registered with the search facilities is key to generating "hits" and this is the first step to using your web site to promote the growth of your business. As part of our web design and construction services, we handle all the details of getting your site "enrolled". For details on the cost of web page and site design services from VISION COMPUTING, see our Rates and Prices page or send us an e-mail with your site requirements and we'll give you a price estimate. If you want to learn web site design or have a group that needs training in web basics or advanced server management, VISION COMPUTING can help you by providing group training and individual tutoring in all facets of web site design and construction. For those needing to host their own web sites, we can help you design and engineer Unix and Windows NT servers. Our Portfolio page has links to some of the web sites designed and implemented by VISION COMPUTING. • Group Training for Advanced Users Does your office team need advanced PC training? Did your department get new systems or software packages and things are not running like they used to? Are you upgrading to new servers and need training in NT or Unix? We can help.
