Glitches in a person’s work day are certainly not uncommon.  All business owners are used to putting out little fires here and there.  But for Paul Oster, CEO of Better Qualified, an Eatontown-based firm that provides credit restoration and identity theft services, his little fires were literally burning him out.  When problems with his computer network caused crash, after crash, after crash, he called AMRCON to douse the flames.
“Before AMRCON cleaned up our system, we used a number of independent IT consultants who just couldn’t prevent the constant crashes,” said …

I usually have so much on my mind I just don’t know where to start. I know business has been very busy and balance between work and family has had its challenges. The nice thing about it is that AMRCON has been growing at a steady pace that allows for additional qualified employees to make AMRCON even better. So I’m going to try and leave the business end of the blog at that. We’re very blessed and doing very well. A Thanks to all of our loyal clients.
After all of the excitement …

When a small business gets bigger, its needs grow too.  David Hernandez, Manager of Old Bridge Funeral Home, is well aware that while growing pains are a good thing, they can also affect a company’s efficiency. 
Old Bridge Funeral Home opened in 2007 as a second location owned by Waitt-Nelms Funeral Home of Morganville.  Unfortunately, when the new location opened, the computer systems were not merged.  “Each office had its own software and no server, which meant we couldn’t share files among the staff,” said Hernandez.  A third location was added …

May really came and went. It seemed as though our move and build-out made time speed up for the most part. Looking forward to the beach months, although I will be less available this year with everything we have going on. However, I make it a priority to put work down for the weekend and we generally spend time at the pool club in Holmdel, NJ with the kids. They just love it. Really the spotlight of the month was my oldest son’s birthday. Santino turned 4 on the 29th, …

 
As networking equipment and servers become more powerful, and costs begin to rise on their support contracts, the environment is usually the last item that is budgeted for. Today, small businesses utilize spare closets, medium businesses may have a dedicated equipment room, and larger corporations will have a custom built data room. As we safeguard our investments against file viruses, email spam, and internet hackers, we have seen in our experience, that the actual monitoring of the network room, is usually sub-par.
Although you don’t need to have an entire Cloud System in your office or a VMWare infrastructure …

 
The new ODS “Virtual System Administrator” interface is almost ready for live launch. We have spent months preparing, building and testing the new function ability of this state of the art server. The entire environment is built on the proven technology of 64bit platform of Windows Server 2008, and utilizes the database scalability of Windows SQL Server 2008.
We decided to install on a HP DL380 server, Dual XEON processor, 10GB of Memory, and 2 RAID arrays, as this is a powerhouse of hardware, capable of handling some of the most system …

Congratulations Robert Montfort winner of the AMRCON drawing for the iPod. The Matawan Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce expo last month was a terrific hit.

What a month! I’m feeling a bit wiped out from the move and I think my son Deeko has the right idea. It’s sounds good but not an option at this point. I have been working extended days in the hopes of taking advantage of some long weekends with the family this summer. Before I start fantasizing about the summer I’ll try and keep it in the now. March was a terrific month for AMRCON and the Rudko’s. As you know the move is well under way and going very …

Those of you that have visited the old AMRCON office know that a part of the complexity that we’ve been battling through was the fact that our support and administrative floors were completely separated from floor to floor. The upstairs administrative office has been completely vacated from 92D Broad Street and as of today I am proud to say is up and running at the new location at 1070 State Route 34 in Matawan. The new floor plan will have everyone on the same floor. Although not everyone will fully …

Some small business owners have such small operations that they try to manage their computer needs on their own.  But even the smallest of companies can benefit from improved efficiency and reduced downtime that true managed services experts like AMRCON can provide.
Ross Maghan knows this all too well.  Until recently, Maghan, President of the full-service Ross Maghan Insurance Agency based in Matawan, NJ, managed his own computer needs. 
“Despite the fact that I am fairly competent with computers, it was hopeless,” said Maghan.  His business had grown to include eight work …
