If you can familiarize us with your size, technology requirements, budgetary targets, and personnel resources, we'll develop a modern, efficient, cost-effective, you-centered hardware and software platform to provide a solid base for your growth.

If you seem to be running up against limits of your current network, we may confirm that for you- but we can often show you how you can expand without major re-engineering or investment.

If you're struggling with an unwieldy IT platform that doesn't fit your organization, we'll analyze what you have, where you want to be, and tell you how you can get there.

We provide every step in the chain:
Workflow analysis
Software and network architecture recommendations

Network security provision, installation, monitoring and testing
Network operating system installation / configuration for your scenario
Network training and documentation
Thorough data backup and data integrity assurance
Network operations monitoring
Remote & onsite network and computer support

We will make the choices you would make yourself - if you had time to study the technology. But we don't believe in technology for technology's sake- we recommend solutions that are appropriate for a company's size and requirements.

With experience in network platforms from 2-station peer-to-peer setups to totally centralized corporate Wide Area Enterprise networking, with many stops in between,, we have the range and proficiency to select and implement the right network for you.

Network Support

Our clients keep running.

That's where we start, regardless of the issue.

We're committed to monitoring and proactively preventing many network issues, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We offer additional advanced monitoring and detection services for clients who need them.

When unpreventable issues arise, we have the resources to respond quickly, remotely or onsite, with loaner or replacement equipment if necessary- and providing loaners is standard policy. We handle better than 98% of all priority network incidents the same day, most within the highest industry standard four hour response time.

Since we handle hardware, software, network cabling or wireless, and internet connectivity, we can pinpoint and resolve problem on your network quickly and efficiently, regardless of source. When an issue lies outside of your network, we have the expertise needed to quickly convince internet service providers and third-party hardware providers to take prompt action.

All support staff are native English speakers who can handle Tier 3 incidents. You won't lose time time working through communications barriers or waiting for a fully capable support technician.

Wireless Yes, this is all wireless stuff A reliable network starts with the physical wires on which it runs. Our cable installation is done with the specific requirements of computer networking foremost, so no one has to worry about reliable data connections when troubleshooting network issues years down the road. We install and certify modern Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable plants used for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networking, and can work with and troubleshoot legacy voice and even Token Ring wiring installations.

If you're a national service provider looking for "feet on the street" for a cabling installation within roughly a 120 mile radius from Stevens Point, we already work with several firms like yours to provide cable, network infrastructure, and system installation. From a single drop to a demarc extension to a whole building, if you want a company that can promptly and professionally handle whatever connectivity needs you've got, give us a call.

Website Design

Truly Unique website designs. You may have noticed. And there are more where this came from.

A website needs to be appropriate to the customer. It matters whether you have a physical product, whether your product or service is a big- or small-ticket item, whether you're a service provider,a salesperson, or a non-profit organization, whether you're local, statewide, regional, or national. Your website needs to match and exceed customer expectations for your market niche. We'll take the time to sit down with you, learn your business and where you want to go, and devise the strategy and website that will get you there as efficiently as possible.

We've done everything from single page advertising-only "business card" sites to national e-commerce sites on dedicated servers, and everything in between.

Promotional and advertising
E-commerce
Streaming media / multimedia
Social media presence
Blog-centric
Groupware hosting
Business Card
Integrated website /social media campaign

We'll only mention it once here, since boosting your Google rank- Search Engine Optimization, or SEO- is really its own field, with little in common with web design. But we can do this for anyone who wants, and we have the proof here. The Internet has largely replaced the phone directory. (Link) You want to be there, and you want to be found. We make it easy.

Do It Yourself-

Once upon a time, website owners had to go back, request, and pay for even the littlest changes from their website designer. We don't think your website should be that way. We have a few ways of giving you control over the content of your own site, so you can keep it updated and fresh. Unlike other site-building and editing systems, ours are all "search-engine-friendly" and won't keep you from doing well in the search engine rankings With us, you're free to change the site whenever and however you want. Big additions or sitewide appearance changes you may need us to do- but those are a lot of work for non-technical people in the first place.

Hosting-
First, why not just email us for our handout that straightens out all these web concepts? We give you a handy beginner's reference to hosting, domains, certificates, site design, search rank boosting, and more. We explain the different things you need to get a website going, and what you should expect from the provider of each. Make sure you're an informed consumer, that you get the tools and information to have an effective website, and that you don't pay four times what's fair simply because it's a not an area you know. .

Our hosting plans are reasonably priced, give you more than enough resources, and are utterly full-service. You have a personal contact for a national support structure. You get a Control Panel (link) that gives you immediate control over every aspect of your internet domain. Rather than call and request a change from your site host, you can change email accounts, passwords, login to web mail, change passwords, set up file transfer sites, upload new pictures or text, all from within your familiar web program. And most important, you can check your site traffic, see what works for you, what doesn't, and how your other advertising is paying off.

It's Always Your Site - We never keep a client from controlling their own domain or website (if you're not sure of the difference, see the first paragraph). We recommend that people register their own domain name themselves so ownership is crystal clear, but we will register a domain for someone if requested. Each site owner is told theirControl Panel login and password, their FTP login and password, and if we've registered the domain name , we're always happy to transfer it to an account they set up. If your current site provider hasn't given you all this information, they should have. If you don't have it and would like to find out, we can do that for you, and help you regain control of your own website.

Site code, concept, and look-and-feel all © 2010 Hugh Rumsey.

Content & Copy We have noticed that for many, the hard part about getting their website finished is the dreaded blank page- writing the content. We don't dread it. So give us the basics about your business, and we'll do your writing for you. Tell us what your message is- or ask us to come up with one! With the basic facts, we'll expand them into a compelling site that both people and search engines will notice. We know what people want to learn about your business when they find i on the web, and we'll make sure you give it to them

Think of every joke and complaint ever you've heard about computers- we've all heard them, and we all understand them. Now think about this- Apple Macintosh users almost always love their computers.

That tells you more than anything we can say.

ibook at work People usually give two reasons not to get an Apple Macintosh. 1) Macs cost more, and 2) some software, particularly industry-specific software, only runs on Windows. Since you can run Windows at full speed on a Mac, though, perhaps there's only one reason.

And since one bad virus infection or cheap computer repair can equal the price difference between a Mac and PC, perhaps there aren't any.

Central Wisconsin Dataworks has sold and serviced Macs as well as PCs almost since we started. We understand computers, so wny not? Whether it's Mac only, PC only, or mixed environments, only experts who know both can tell you which is better for you, and how to make it all work at your business or at home.

Year after year, Apple has been the most or one of the most reliable brands of hardware covered by PC Magazine (!) in their annual Service and Reliability Survey. We're not an Apple Repair Center- but we can service any Mac software or hardware issue you're having, usually for considerably less.

That Apple understands people and what they want better than other companies is obvious to anyone who's ever used an iPod or iPad- or an iMac or iBook. Call us if you'd like a computer you'll love. Apple Quad graphics workstation

Home Computers

Yes, we sell home computers too. Good ones. If you think "the specs"- speed in GHz, GB of RAM, TB of hard drive- define a computer and you just need the lowest price on that set of specs, we're not for you.

But if you think there may be a bit more to consider, and do get a desktop computer from us, here's what it will have:

new macbook &

It will have a three year, no-quibbling, parts and labor warranty you can have honored locally &

It will have knowledgable, native English-speaking, toll-free technical support&

It will have industry standard hardware, with no expensive proprietary parts. This will make upgrades and repairs easy, available, inexpensive, and (upgrades, not repairs!) almost unlimited &

It will have the most reliable, not least expensive, parts we know of, and we know the best &

It will have written instructions on staying virus-free &

It will have almost any custom design features you want &

And most important, it will have been chosen to be a sensible computer for you &

Macbook Pro at ease Here's what it won't have:&

Load of "free" offers, trial versions, and advertising software you need to have "optimized" away for an extra charge before you even take it home &

It won't have Mac OS if you want Windows. It won't have Windows if a Mac is better for you (unless you want Windows on your Mac too!) &

It won't have an AMD processor. Sorry, AMD fans. If you want to know why, read our Intel v.s. AMD sidebar &

It won't have a mail-order "onsite warranty" that requires you to spend hours on the phone before they agree to send a tech. or a standard mail-order (or box store) warranty that makes you ship it to the maker and wait weeks for repairs &

It won't have an in-store warranty where it may take a few tries for them to actually fix the problem &

It won't have any sort of warranty that fixes the computer but loses your data &

It won't have "bleeding-edge" hardware or software you end up regretting. Somehow we've known to warn our customers away from these&

It won't have an inflated price tag. We're not the cheapest, but we're always a fair value. We regularly beat the mail-order leader on all but their lowest-end computers &

It won't have been sold because it was what someone had in stock to sell to you that day &

So call us. If you don't want to get a system from us, we'll at least give you good advice on what to look for and what to avoid, what matters and what doesn't. But we think you'll want to get your computer from us

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO

Rather than a lengthy explanation about what SEO is and why you need it, we'd rather just call it Google Rank Boosting and be done with it. Now you know, no buzzwords or acronyms needed

And we could also go into an even lengthier explanation of how it's done. But in the great American tradition of seeking success by writing a self-help book about what one does rather than by actually doing it, there's really no shortage of material on the subject already....

What could we possibly add to that?

All we've got to offer is- Without exception, our clients for SEO are on the first page for their big searches or (for a few) on the way up as they're only part way through the process.

So perhaps we could add something- accuracy. What we do works. What many firms advertising SEO services do, doesn't.

Like these firms- big and small, national and local, that claim to offer SEO. Here's the code for their home pages, with markup near missed opportunities that block them from Page 1

Wisc. Franchisee of International Corp. Local "Consultant" Milwaukee Area Marketing Firm Offshore Tech Outsourcer

No, the markup isn't precisely on the slipups- if they haven't done their homework, we're not doing it for them.

So search (on Google) for what your customers look for when they're looking for what you do or sell. If you're not listed on the first page, work with us, and soon you will be.

Pricing varies by project, because your products, your competitors, and your target market all influence the work involved. We tell some people they don't need us, others they don't need everything we do, a few how they can do a bit for themselves, and occasionally we tell people their expectations are wildly unreasonable. But we have clients dominating their searches nationally, statewide, and in local markets. So call us.
