Scheduled maintenance visits
As part of the range of ICT support options that we offer, North Star Computers can schedule regular onsite visits for maintenance checks and to troubleshoot any issues that might have happened since the last visit.
These visits are usually conducted on weekly or monthly basis but we are happy to change the frequency of these visits to suit your school’s needs.
These regular visits help to keep your network running smoothly as well as enabling you to form a better working relationship with your engineer.
We have found that this personal attention results in increased staff knowledge and reduced system downtime.
Many of the schools we work with have a designated IT liaison teacher as a point of contact. The teacher very often has a list of items that we are asked to go through during our scheduled visit.
These items may include:
- checking of email quotas, when the school has their own domain
- setting up of email addresses for new teachers or subsitutes – G suite or own domain webmail
- making sure the Secretary’s computer is in full working order (most important role in the school!)
- making sure network connectivity is in full working order – printers, network drives, network based software, servers etc
