Sacramento, CA (PRWEB)  – Many small businesses are struggling with their IT needs, particularly in this economy. They can’t afford to hire IT staff or even to outsource. A new company based in Sacramento offers free IT support to small businesses. http://www.askComputerExperts.com

Founded by IT Expert Yasar Chaudhary, Computer Experts is the only service in the country to provide free computer and network support remotely to businesses. During this recession, businesses need cost savings anywhere they can find it. Access to free or low-cost IT support can really save money.

Computer Experts solves simple problems such as viruses and spyware issues as well as more complex issues from network & server maintenance, system tune-ups, security check-ups and disaster planning. Whether there are existing problems or a business just wants to be proactive in avoiding any future issues, Computer Experts can help.

“Due to the high cost of computer and network maintenance, many small businesses are usually very reluctant to hire an IT company to perform ongoing maintenance and routine checkups,” Chaudhary said. “The average cost of servicing one computer is about $150. At this rate, small businesses can save thousands by using Computer Experts, and it’s a free service.”

Getting support is very easy. A request can be submitted online. The business must have from 10-100 PCs and at least one server. Computer Expert’s special promotion to small businesses includes four free 30-minute technical support calls per month. An Expert will remotely log on to the client’s computer and take care of the issue right over the internet.

Computer Experts also offers a variety of technology products and services including IT outsourcing, network and desktop maintenance, VOIP phone systems, security surveillance and technical consultation services.

Washington D.C. (PRWEB) — Despite our new administration’s best efforts, layoffs continue to increase and Americans continue to lose their jobs. President Obama and economists warn that current conditions will only worsen before we see any significant relief. onCALL 25/8 Computer Repair is giving back to the community by helping those who are out of work.
