ore of us are working from home every day than ever before. Often this is necessary as a result of retirement, employment in the “gig” economy or changing company policies in response to Covid. Making the transition from company office to a fully functioning home office can be challenging, but with the right help it can be easy, seamless and painless.
At Computer Tutors, we’ve helped many clients make this move. We can help every step of the way. First, we make sure you have the proper equipment to work from
home: computer(s), monitor(s), webcam, printer(s), router, etc. Then we set up and configure everything in your home office space. We not only get all the equipment up and running, but also make sure you have the proper software, security protection, email and any other software applications you need. Finally, some clients need a little training in order to do what they likely had an office IT person do for them. We figure out a plan for you and make that happen on your timetable. We like to keep things simple, straightforward and logical. Of course, after we get you set up and running, we are just a phone call away for ongoing

support, as well. Recently, a client asked us to help move equipment from his corporate office to his new home office. We set up all the equipment, upgraded his network, got a new email address (since the company email was no longer available) and configured all the software. We made sure he had a webcam for Zoom meetings and a laser jet printer. Additionally, we showed him a few extras like using his phone to print and streaming Netflix, etc. on his TV. Of course, while we were there, other things came up—configuring his Ring doorbell and setting up extra monitors for him to use simultaneously. All within the scope of our services. We also were able to help him get AT&T fiber internet to speed up his network. The client was extremely happy to have made such a smooth transition to work from home and he knows he can always call us with questions or problems as they come up.
