Managed Support

Keeping your Accounting system managed and up-to-date will ensure continuous operation of your business on a daily basis. Accounting data is very sensitive information in a company. This data includes social security numbers, banking information, financial pictures, business plans, and legal documents, to name a few. DMC Accounting + Technology's consultants provide managed support for your accounting systems and servers in order to keep your systems backed up and up-to-date with the latest security patches and software features.

• Database Maintenance & Integrity Checks

  Clients utilize our database maintenance & integrity check services in order to assure that their accounting database files are continuously being backed up properly. We can perform these services on a daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis, depending on your company's needs and type of accounting system. During this process, we typically access the accounting server via remote connection in order to perform a full test restoration of your accounting database. Once complete, we send you a full report of the results and execute any configuration changes that may be needed. Knowing that your database is secure and in working condition makes this service invaluable in the event of accidental data loss. See also: System Backup and Disaster Recovery

• Operating System Security, Patches, & Updates

  The automatic updates feature offered by Microsoft provides a convenient way to keep your server’s operating system up-to-date with the latest security patches designed to prevent exploits, computer worms, viruses, and malware. However, there are other components, such as computer language frameworks, that will also be installed automatically which could cause your accounting system to suddenly go down.
  
  Our IT consultants are knowledgeable about the effects and compatibilities of Microsoft updates in relation to your accounting system, and will update your server’s operating system timely and appropriately.
