From custom network configuration to system implementations, we match the right technician for the job. Here are the six main services areas we focus on; Techmate clients can access all capabilities through a single membership.

  • Desktop: Our team of technicians can provide onsite support for desktop setup, employee onboarding and offboarding, and more.
  • Hardware: Our team of technicians can resolve hardware issues, support swap outs and upgrades, and more.
  • Network: We can provide complex network support with the ability to match a qualified technician based on availability, location, and skill set. From connectivity issues to rack and stack, the support you need awaits.

  • Staff augmentation: Staffing is an obstacle for most. When it comes to IT, we can help with temporary support needs to fill gaps or longer term coverage to reduce operating costs.
How can onsite IT support benefit construction sites?

Onsite IT support services for construction sites can be especially beneficial due to a specialized need for customized support. With every construction project and job site unique, the IT infrastructure required to support it can also be unique. The option that’s best for your situation can depend on the circumstances. Here are some detailsto consider to help you determine if onsite IT support is most beneficial.

  1. Security considerations: When dealing with sensitive information or plans, security protocols may influence the need for onsite support. While security is always a top priority for Techmate, onsite support can provide an extra layer of support and peace of mind. It may also open the door to have more conversations pertaining to the job and the requirements, thus engaging the technician on a more personalized level.
  2. Issue types: Some issues may require or receive the greatest benefit from an on-site technician. For example, if you need equipment physically set up, you’ll need a technician onsite. Another example is if you continue experiencing the same issue repeatedly, you may find the most benefit in an onsite technician versus attempting to troubleshoot via phone call or video call with a non-technical on-site user..
  3. Urgency: Downtime and staff travel can be costly and impact company-wide IT response times . Evaluating response times and the benefit of onsite support per issue can help you make better business decisions. In addition, if a problem is critical to smooth  operations, onsite support may provide the most value as it can help assure the problem can be resolved in one visit.
  4. Preference: Some individuals and companies prefer on-site interactions and support. Ensuring you have confidence in the support you receive is always important, so your preference does matter in the decision.
Can Techmate help with construction hardware and device management?

Yes, Techmate can deliver hardware and device management IT support onsite. We can support hardware issues, swap outs, upgrades, and more. Our services can be provided on an on=demand or project basis, or on a regular proactive basis.

Do you offer network setup and maintenance for construction sites?

Network setup and maintenance for construction sites and their larger projects is just the beginning of what we can offer for development and construction companies. Plus, with on-site support we can send a technician(s) to any job site across the company for initial setup, maintenance, or additional support as requested. Construction companies or contractors can benefit from the ability to request IT support as needed, as opposed to staffing a whole IT team that may not be needed full time.

Do you provide IT solutions for both small and large construction firms?

We can provide support for small, medium, and large construction firms with enough annual IT needs to justify an external IT partner. Our technicians can serve as an extension of internal IT teams, working together to optimize results. For all sized firms, outsourcing IT support can help you grow faster, lower costs, and overcome staffing challenges with the ability to scale support (and cost) only as needs dictate. It can also help cover multiple locations and remote locations or job sites. The ability to outsource allows you to access a network of fully vetted technicians with diverse backgrounds specific to each project need. Upon request, we can match the most qualified technician based on skills needed, availability, and location.

Can you help with data backup and disaster recovery for construction IT?

Two very important concerns are data backup and disaster recovery in the construction world. With a heavy reliance on technology to store information, ensuring we keep this information safe and accessible is key. Our team of technicians can proactively work to backup data and improve cybersecurity. In the event information is lost or feared to be lost, our teams can get right to work to help recover the data. We can even help identify the source of the data loss to prevent it from recurring.
