Information Technology

Welcome to Principal IT!
The more you invest in your company's IT infrastructure, the more you realise that IT investment is never a black and white issue- there seem to be more and more options!

At Principal we don't just sell boxes: we provide business solutions based on tried and tested strategies. Name your problem and we will sort it out. Whatever the project, we also have the expertise to back up our work with first-class support. There are plenty of answers in the menu on the left- or see if any of these ring a bell!

"My work documents are important... but completely unprotected"
Too often we only think about protecting our important documents when it's too late! We can offer network security implementation to keep out viruses, malicious intrusion and sabotage, and archive and disaster recovery services so that if the worst ever happened, you'd be up and running again in no time.

"I need to save money on IT"
At Principal, we never spend without reason. We justify every single service we offer on the basis of your return on investment, across the lifetime of the product. We're on top of new developments in IT which can save you money. As your office grows, server-based computing can dramatically reduce the cost of each new member of staff. Our print audit and document management solutions can save you printing costs and plenty of time.

"My company's expanding and I don't think our computers can cope"
Maybe they can. Our support team can do a network healthcheck and with the right network and mail infrastructures, backed up with quality support, perhaps you can squeeze more out of your existing systems.

If not, let us help you with an IT strategy. Then you won't get any nasty surprises in the future. And when you upgrade, our specialist skills in operating systems, networks and security mean your new system can grow with you.

”I don’t know about IT, and besides, I want to get on with running my company”
We quite understand! We can produce an IT strategy for you, and if necessary you can outsource all your IT to us. No problem.

"We've got legacy systems and it's time for a big upgrade"
Sometimes big changes are unavoidable. Our experts will gladly take on the challenges of migration projects with professionalism and expert judgement. We're also specialists in server-based computing and document management solutions, so if it's time for a big change, we'll know what to do.

All Principal's Systems Engineers are trained to a minimum of MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) or equivalent standard. Most then have additional qualifications (e.g. Certified Cisco Network Associate) which keep them abreast of specialist areas and bang up to date on our products.
