12 Business Owners Who Want To Significantly Cut Their IT Support Costs And Eliminate The Frustration and Worry Of Computer Network Problems
Announcing a NEW Network Support Program Designed For Businesses Owners That Don’t Want To Worry About Their Network’s Security, Reliability, or Stability Ever Again!
From The Desk of: Del Ingalls, President

Dear Colleague,
Are you sick and tired of worrying about the security of your network against the latest spyware, virus, or hacker threat?
Would you like to have peace of mind knowing that your network is always being watched and secured with the most up-to-date security patches, virus definitions, and firewall settings?
Are you and your staff too busy to perform the regular maintenance and support your network needs to function properly?
Are you concerned that your current part time or outsourced IT support doesn’t have you covered sufficiently?
If so, this letter was written specifically for you.
I am looking for 12 clients who want to be beta testers for a new IT support program we are calling PowerCARE. This program is designed to give you all of the network support, security, and maintenance you need without the expense and overhead of a full-time IT staff.
Why Our Clients Have Been Begging Us To
Deliver This New Service …
With the constant changes to technology and daily development of new threats, even a small, 5-user network requires ongoing maintenance from a highly-trained technician. But obviously the costs of hiring a full-time IT person are not always feasible, even for companies with 20 to 75 workstations.
Up until now, you only had two options for computer support:
Option #1: This option is the most common; you designate the most technically-savvy person on staff to be your make-shift IT manager and only bring in outside help when your “internal guru” runs into a network crisis they can’t solve.
Problem is, you are pulling this person away from the real job you hired them to do AND unless they have the time to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in IT support and management, they don’t have the skills or knowledge required to properly support and secure your network.
This inevitably results in a network that is ill-maintained and unstable, which then results in excessive down-time, overspending on IT support, and expensive recovery costs.
Option #2: This is really foolish but we see it every day; businesses that use their network until it “breaks” and then call in the experts to repair or replace whatever stopped working.
This reactive model of network maintenance is a surefire path to extensive down-time, lost data, and excessive spending on IT support, not to mention major disruptions in staff productivity, sales, cash flow, production, and customer service that can never be recovered.
Just take a look at these recent disasters that happened to other small businesses right here in northern Michigan who were NOT performing ongoing maintenance on their computer network (all names have been withheld to protect the companies’ privacy)…
Manufacturing Firm Suffers Server and Backup Solution Failure: Over $23,000 in Unexpected Costs Along With 3 Days of Lost Office Productivity
A local 20-user company was not monitoring or maintaining their server and wanted to “ride it out as long as it would keep going.” The server suffered a sudden disk failure and then it was determined that the backup hard drive solution was not working either.
This caused their entire network to be down for 3 full days and cost them $5,000 in troubleshooting and support fees, $4,000 in new server setup and configuration fees, and $14,000 for the new server and backup solution—ALL UNBUDGETED. Naturally the costs were MUCH higher when you factor in the lost productivity of their 20 employees not being able to access any accounting, email or files during that time.
Had we been monitoring their network and performing regular maintenance under our PowerCARE support, we would have been able to detect that these hard drives were failing, that the backups were not performing properly, and we could have prevented the crash, the downtime, and the $23,000 in costs to get them back up and running.
Auto Body Shop Spends $20,000 To Clean Up A Virus
An auto body shop with multiple locations discovered the importance of preventative maintenance the hard way. Without warning, a virus was downloaded to their server and started replicating and attaching itself to files across most of their computers.
This virus corrupted their data, impaired their customer management system, and immediately brought down their Exchange server (no e-mail could come in or go out). Preventing this disaster would have been easy and at a tiny fraction of the final costs AND they would have experienced better performance and fewer problems with their network.
Instead, they were forced to spend a whopping $20,000 to remove the virus and restore their network, and that only got them back up and running. Their systems were still not optimized, secured, and updated as they should be.
Failed Hard Drive Costs Local Trucking and Parts Company $1,500 and 3 Days of Downtime
The owner of a local small business had a hard drive fail on his laptop causing them to lose a large number of critical company files and data. When they contacted us to recover the data from the system backups, we found they weren’t functioning properly and even though they appeared to be backing up the company’s data, they were in fact worthless. In the end, recovering the data off of the failed drive took 3 days at a cost of $1,500, plus lost productivity.
Had we been supporting them with our PowerCARE service we would have detected the hard drive failing and that the backups were not executing properly. Our service would have prevented the crash and the downtime, saved them the $1,500 in repair costs, as well as the 3 days of operational and revenue impacts. Furthermore, without a proactive approach in-place, this business is still at risk of a repeat scenario for this laptop and all other computers in the business.
How To Make Certain These Disasters Don’t Happen To Your Business
We have recently invested in some very powerful technology tools that enable us now to bring PowerCARE support to you. With PowerCARE, we can now provide you ongoing remote maintenance and support to maximize the performance, reliability, and stability of your network without the costs and overhead of hiring a full-time staff.
And here is the best part…we will cut your IT spending 30% to 50% AND improve your network’s reliability and performance at the same time.
Here’s How It Works:
One of our senior network engineers will perform regular, scheduled maintenance on your network each and every month. We will make sure your virus protection is up to date and your back ups are working properly. We’ll also check critical firewall and security settings, and we’ll update software patches. We will even conduct a series of system optimization tasks every month that will keep your network running at maximum speed and performance.
We will also remotely monitor your network 24/7/365 to detect, diagnose, and prevent lurking problems from turning into major interruptions to your business in the form of downtime, security breaches, or other failures.
Finally, we’ll design the right mix of on-site, remote, network, and help desk support to fit your specific situation and needs.
The Benefits Are Obvious:
- You’ll eliminate expensive repairs and recovery costs. Our network monitoring and maintenance will save you money by preventing expensive network disasters from ever happening in the first place. As a matter of fact, we guarantee it.
- You’ll avoid expensive trip fees while receiving faster support. Our remote monitoring software will enable us to access and repair most network problems right from our offices. No more waiting around for an engineer to show up!
- How does faster performance, fewer error messages, and practically zero down-time sound to you? Under this program, that is exactly what we’ll deliver. Some parts of your system will degrade in performance over time, causing them to slow down, hang up, and crash. Our preventative maintenance and network monitoring will make sure your computers stay in tip-top shape for maximum speed, performance, and reliability.
- You will have ALL of the benefits of an in-house IT department WITHOUT all of the costs. As a PowerCARE customer, you’ll have access to a knowledgeable support staff that can be reached immediately should you have any kind of problem or question.
- You’ll receive substantial discounts on IT services that you are already buying. Most IT firms will nickel and dime you over every little thing they do; under this program, you’ll pay one flat, affordable rate and get all of the technical support you need. No hidden charges, caveats, or disclaimers.
- You will never have to fear a big, expensive network repair bill. Instead, you can budget for network support just like rent or insurance.
- You’ll sleep easier knowing the “gremlins at the gate” are being watched. Cyber criminals never sleep! But thanks to our 24/7/365 monitoring and on-going maintenance, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.
- You’ll safeguard your data. The data on the hard disk is always more important than the hardware that houses it. If you rely on your computer systems for daily operations, it's time to get serious about protecting your critical, irreplaceable electronic information.
- You’ll finally put a stop to annoying spam, pop-ups, and spyware from taking over your computer and your network. Not only are these intruders annoying, but they can introduce viruses and jeopardize the security of your network.
- You’ll gain incredible peace of mind. As a business owner, you already have enough to worry about. We’ll make sure everything pertaining to your network security and reliability is handled so you don’t have to worry about it.
But Don’t Take Our Word For It…
Just Look At What Our Clients Are Saying
"We have been working with Power IT for two years. I was frustrated with the erratic support I received with my prior IT vendors. Power IT had a lot to prove to me when we started out together. Within the first few months, I was a convert and was recommending them to my colleagues. They are extremely knowledgeable, responsive and trustworthy. And they are a fun group of people. We have always loved their rapid on-site response time if we have a problem. Now we are identifying potential issues via remote access and before they happen. With this we were able to identify a problem in my laptop and have it fixed before it caused me any issue. Technology is a critically important component of medical care these days. With Power IT, I can go forward without worries.”
- Dr. Margaret Orr, Wellspring Women’s Health
"Power IT has been our trusted IT advisor for 9 years. We have mission critical EMR and Practice Management systems and can’t afford even a minute of downtime. Power IT has architected, managed and supported our IT in a highly professional, responsive and cost-effective manner throughout the years. We are especially satisfied with their new PowerCARE proactive support approach that emphasizes preventing problems from occurring in the first place. I can’t imagine doing business without them.”
- Lisa Carey, Practice Manager, Cardiology Consultants
"I have worked with other IT providers and have found Power IT to be effective and reliable. Our systems run smoothly and I’m confident any issues that may arise will be handled expertly and efficiently. We can just focus on our business--Medicine. We are looking forward to the benefits of the PowerCARE support for preventing problems and the associated downtime. Having a cost effective and budget-able flat fee is important to us as well. Power IT is our trusted business partner.”
- Julie Hopkins, Practice Manager, Bay View Ob/Gyn
Our 100% “You Can’t Lose” Guarantee…
We are so confident in our PowerCARE Total Plan that we are willing to back it up with a powerful guarantee that no other IT firm or consultant would dare to make: We guarantee that we will be able to detect, diagnose, and PREVENT any type of network problem from escalating into down-time.
If by some odd chance your network goes down, if you get a virus, a hacker invasion, or any other problem that requires clean up and fixing, we will do all of the work necessary to restore your network back to full speed with no additional service fees to you.
As you saw from the above real-life examples, one simple “glitch” can end up costing you many thousands of dollars in support fees. Our PowerCARE Total Plan is an insurance policy against major network disasters and repair bills.
Plus, you and I know that there are plenty of IT firms out there offering some type of network support; but an awful lot of them are new or just getting started in the business. Some will even outsource their clients’ projects to part-time technicians that are between jobs or outsource to companies overseas. Even if they dared to offer a guarantee as strong as ours, you wouldn’t really know whether you could count on them to be around to honor their guarantee if something did go wrong.
We’ve been servicing clients in northern Michigan for 10 years and ALL of our engineers and technicians are full-time employees. That’s why we are so certain we can make the promises we are making and back them up with this rock-solid guarantee.
FREE 64-Point Problem Prevention Audit Gets You Started:
To introduce you to our new PowerCARE, we’d like to offer you a FREE 64-Point Problem Prevention Audit.
This service is normally sold for $495 but if you are one of the first 12 people to respond to this letter, you can have it for FREE; but you have to HURRY.
At no charge, we will send a senior technician to your office and conduct a thorough assessment of your network. Upon completion, we will be able to:
- Pinpoint any exposure or risk to potential lapses in security, data backup, power outages, and system down-time.
- Outline a powerful and comprehensive line of defense against even the most evasive and deadly computer viruses, hackers, and spam for your specific network.
- Recommend ways to speed up your entire computer network while cutting costs on your Internet Service bill, e-mail, and possibly even your phone bill!
- Create Initial Network Documentation (that’s basically a blueprint or index of your entire network). This document allows any technician to know exactly how your network is configured at a glance, saving you precious consulting time trying to figure out what’s under the hood.
We will also provide you with a detailed written report in plain English that outlines where you are at high risk for viruses, down-time, or other problems, and how we can eliminate those risks with our PowerCARE. Are you sure your current IT support has you covered? The Free 64-point audit will identify any exposure you currently have.
Other Companies Have Paid Over $495 for This Same Audit But It’s Yours Free Just for Saying “Maybe”
We’ve decided to give you this audit as a good natured “bribe” to take a look at our PowerCARE.
After the audit, we will quote you a monthly rate for maintaining and monitoring your network to ensure zero problems, zero down-time, and zero disasters. If you decide that it’s not going to work for you or if you don’t want to sign up for any reason, just say, “This isn’t what I had in mind” and we can simply continue to provide you network support and services on an “as needed” basis as we have been doing up until now. No pressure, No expectations, No cost.
