Bust a Move (from Windows to Macs)

BustaMove-FbMacserv IT is a (technical!) “marriage counselor” for business owners thinking about ending their longtime relationship with PCs (and finding love anew with Macs). Before you select china patterns and plan the honeymoon, ensure that switching from a PC environment to the Mac platform is a match made in IT heaven.

Perhaps you recognize these telltale signs:

  • You use a Mac at home and wish all operating systems could be just like Apple’s macOS
  • You admire the Mac’s reputation regarding lower total cost of ownership
  • You doubly admire the Mac’s ability to resist Windows-loving viruses and malware
  • You prefer a greener planet and have heard that Mac hardware is very recyclable
  • Your employees drop hints about adding more IT “cool factor” to your company

You might be ready to board the Mac “love boat.” But before you cruise the Lido deck, we strongly advise confirming your company’s Mac readiness with an assessment.

During the (one-day) on-site assessment, we will meet with your executive team and a cross-section of employees representing different types of computer users. When speaking with your employees, we’ll ask them to:

  • Show us what they do daily on the computer
  • Click through the programs and websites they access during a typical day

Once we document your employees’ workstation habits, we’ll develop a proposal for transitioning your office from a Windows to a Mac configuration. And if by chance going Mac isn’t the right move for your business, we will say so plainly and explain WHY.

Two immediate reasons switching from PC to Mac may not be viable:

  • Your company uses custom software reliant upon Microsoft’s current Internet browser, Edge.
  • You’re price sensitive regarding upfront hardware/server costs and the number of workstations to be converted.

We would need to know about any sensitive or confidential information stored on your server, such as HIPAA information. Additionally, the software used by financial-services firms and other highly regulated industries has implications for switching from a Windows environment to Mac. It’s also important to consider how you communicate with clients or customers. For example: Does your company use a special server to filter outgoing and incoming email messages?

Great service!  

Rick was great to work with! Very professional and kept me updated with the progress of backing up my hard drive and anything that came up. He was able to backup all the data for me and even gave me tips on how to sell my old computer.

Best MAC service ever!  

I've used MacServe for many years. They supported our network at my company and have provided the best advice and service I've received. My most recent service was extraordinary. I can't say enough good things about this company. If you have 1 Mac or 20 Macs, this company can handle your service. Use them. It's better than being frustrated by trying to fix things yourself or even hiring an IT professional. Thanks, Sam for everything you've done.

Whew!  

I run a small documentary film company and have been having network related issues from before I worked here full time - about 1.5 years. We finally decided enough was enough and called MacServe, a company we had successfully worked with before on the installation of an archival storage server. I could not be more pleased with this most recent engagement. We had a list of issues, the sources of which were quickly identified and resolved. Why does it seem like such a miracle when this happens? But it did and we're all very happy. Besides troubleshooting and fixing, MacServ also made a number of simple and cost effective recommendations we could implement to streamline our operations. This was money very well spent and will help us to be much more efficient as we head into a grueling schedule in the next few months.

They listened to my needs and then solved them!  

I now have an IT department. As my company grew, adhesive tape and band aides were no longer a way to keep my growing network running. Sam and his team have my network humming and any problems are handled so quickly, that I don't have time to get upset. MacServ is worth every penny.

WE LOVE MACSERV- enough said.  

Thank you to the crew at Macserv. As a small business owner, minding my computer system, software and hardware is not a duty I want to or have the skill to handle. Macserv is an amazing, dependable, affordable company partner who takes care of my every concern. ( and they are just really nice guys too). So they have my highest recommendation. This includes my desktops, server, assorted laptops etc etc.

Excellent service; very knowledgeable consultants  

MacSERV recently handled upgrades to our school server and 40 client machines. They were also responsible for installing a back-up server, updating all wireless connectivity and providing technical support to the network administrator on the newly upgraded Mountain Lion Server. They were extremely efficient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. MacSERV is a very professional and well-rounded organization. Along with the above items, they advised us on purchasing the additional equipment and upgrades that were necessary. We look forward to working with the MacSERV team in the future and highly recommend them for any service issues.

Jack of All Trades  

These guys know it all. They helped build and install a unique RAID server system that was sensitive to our company's needs. They configured our collection of 15 desktop computers. And as if that wasn't enough, they even did with some electrical work on our office suite, which was very badly needed. Expert at diagnosing issues and prescribing solutions. Will definitely call on them again.

MacServ is the best in Philly

Sam is extremely responsive, fast, thorough and extremely friendly. He truly is like a colleague to us and he's always up on the latest technology Apple and otherwise.
