Pay as you go IT Support
Our ad-hoc support model is for clients who do not want a contract for monthly support, but would still like to use LightPath’s services.
LightPath IT do not require customers to enter into a support contract for us to carry out support tasks for your business. We will gladly resolve your issues on a job-by-job basis. There is a minimum 30 minute charge for remote support and 60 minute charge for on-site support. Most of our support can be carried out remotely, using our PC remote control tool, ControlMyPC, providing you an instant solution to your issue, whilst keeping your costs to a minimum.
For instant support, just go to www.controlmypc.co.uk, enter your name and company, request assistance and we will take it from there.

Document management solutions
Documents are now a key business resource and storing them on file servers is no longer a viable option for the fast paced world we live in. More and more businesses are migrating to document management systems that help to store, organise and locate documents more efficiently
Understanding the key aspects of document management and how they relate to your company will help provide you with the best system to suit your needs. While cloud services are the in thing if you are working with large documents that require constant updates you might be better off keeping the system in house.
