Old Blue Chair Consulting is a Halifax-based company with clients throughout mainland Nova Scotia. We offer a wide range of services, backed with nearly 20 years of experience in IT and Management.
From building the computers, servers, and networks that allow you to do your daily work, to website development and maintenance, we believe your needs are best served by offering a complete IT management approach. We can also help your company plan and manage your IT infrastructure, so you can focus on the other aspects of your business.
Whether we're supporting you at home or at the office, our main goal is to ensure your technology is always working the way it should to make your life, and your work, easier.
Development & Maintenance
The world keeps on changing. Your existing website should be allowed to grow and change to represent you. Even if you don't have a website yet, we can help you plan and develop a website that meets your needs. Whether you want a place to display your products, share your projects with your investors, create a secure/private Intranet or Extranet, or manage memberships and/or events, we work with you to develop options and turn those options into your solutions. We can also use our design skills to help develop your marketing materials to coordinate with your website.
IT Management & Consulting
Your information technology is too important to leave it in the hands of just anyone. Working closely with you, we assess your current infrastructures and prioritize goals to help develop the right plan for your budget and objectives. We can also help you build better relationships with your vendors or suppliers, step in as a project manager to complete projects that are off-course, review your overall workflows to streamline and improve efficiency, and help you staff your IT department. If you want to free up your IT staff to focus on preventative maintenance, we're happy to offload backups, patches, security, and other tasks that can overwhelm your time.
IT Support
When you're having IT issues, you may think the only alternative is to take a hammer to your computer. We can work with you to find a better solution, providing both homes and businesses with the help needed to keep technology working. We offer complete system builds and upgrades, network solutions, and tune-ups. We also offer an adaptive service where we can schedule on-site appointments to routinely check on how your technology is working, and offer assistance if things are not working as expected. Perhaps that joke that came in your email turned out not to be as funny as you thought, once you realized you might have a virus or malware installed. Let us remove it before you experience increased downtime, or worse.
Fast Turnaround
We are not faster than a speeding bullet, but our delivery times are very impressive. Launching your new website is important. Equally important is ensuring the updates on your computers or servers are done on time. Slow networks and slow computers account for hundreds of lost hours a year. We work with you to establish realistic timeframes for every service we provide, and we adapt to your needs. Whether you want us to monitor your technology for you, or just be there to do repairs, our goal is to keep you on your schedule.
