SPAM EMAIL FILTERING

Spam emails are not only frustrating, they squander

also a serious threat to your business; spam emails
can contain viruses, phishing requests and spyware.
Nevertheless, emails are a necessity. They provide a valuable channel of
communication with customers, colleagues and suppliers. Our email filtering
service is the most comprehensive way of protecting your business against
data theft and hacking through emails; and believe us it does happen!
set-1 version 4.indd 5 17/09/2015 12:05

SPAM EMAIL FILTERING
Keeping your emails safe
If you currently have an email system that delivers emails directly to your
office server, then you are at risk of losing emails.
If your email server is unavailable or your internet access is not working,
your emails could potentially be lost or remain undelivered.
Our spam filter service resolves this issue and acts as a secondary email
server. It stores your emails giving you time to resolve any issues.

CLOUD SERVICES
The power of the Cloud
The cloud’s potential for driving business innovation is limitless.
From enhancing internal operations to transforming customer relationships, cloud services can shift competitive landscapes and provide
new platforms for delivering business value. The only decision a company needs to make regarding cloud services is not whether to take
advantage of its capabilities, but when.
It’s not just a technology buzzword, the cloud really can help your business growth and development. The process relies on remote
computer processors that store your data, networks, servers, applications and services, granting you increased security and flexibility.
set-1 version 4.indd 7 17/09/2015 12:05

Cloud cover
Some 800,000 laptops a

to the machine.
Who better to help you understand how best to
employ cloud facilitated solutions than a band of

17. TELEPHONE SERVICES (VOIP)
What is VoIP?
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology that allows the user to
make telephone calls over the internet in a highly flexible and cost effective
manner. VoIP replaces traditional phone systems and expensive line costs.
What can Aspect IT Provide?
We provide two different VoIP solutions:
INTERNAL: If you prefer to have your phone system located in your office
then we can provide an onsite solution. We will install and
configure all the equipment and software in your office.
HOSTED: Your system is hosted within the cloud.
Which is Best? We will advise which option is the most suitable for your
company. An internal system has more upfront costs but provides you
with more control over your own system. Whereas a hosted solution is
less expensive in the short term but managed in the cloud.
Right for you
VoIP costs vary from package
to package but we will advise
the best option for you.
VoIP is not appropriate for every
organisation and we are honest enough
to let you know whether it will benefit
your company. As well as setting
up your system, we are able to
manage and maintain your
VoIP equipment.
set-1 version 4.indd 17 17/09/2015 12:06
18. TELEPHONE SERVICES (VOIP)
The Benefits
Lower communication costs: Calls to other
VoIP systems on the same platform are free.
If you have separate offices this means calls
between them are free.
Staff productivity: Providing your staff have
a connection to the internet, they can pick up
calls on multiple devices e.g. laptops, tablets,
home office computers, smartphones.
Scalability: Easily add new users and
ring groups.
Manage calls: Full control over how calls
are routed through your system.
Voicemail: Voicemails can be sent directly to
your email so they can be checked anywhere,
anytime.
Flexibility: Access via any internet enabled
devices.
Area Codes: Assign alternative area codes
to your number e.g. a London area code to
a Manchester office.
“Aspect IT helped us to integrate our IT systems and VoIP
installation which has given us seamless data and voice
connectivity across our organisation.”

19. IT SUPPORT
Supporting your business
Technology plays an important strategic role in business development. Every company needs fast and resilient
IT systems in order to maintain productivity and increase profitability. From data backup security to business
continuity planning; IT support addresses the fundamental issues that affect modern day businesses.
Why outsource?
Many companies, from start-ups to more established SME’s, cannot afford to meet the expense of an in-house
IT team. Hiring an internal member of staff can be costly and cause issues when the employee takes a holiday.
Other internal staff may be unqualified to handle serious IT complications that could affect the future of your
organisation.
At Aspect IT, we understand how to leverage technology for corporate success. Our straightforward, cost-
effective contracts are tailor made to suit your business structure and requirements. Aspect’s mission is to
provide exceptional IT support that drives businesses forward and presents a significant competitive edge.
• Dedicated IT helpdesk manned by skilled IT professionals.
• High level of customer service and expert technical knowledge.
• Ability to remotely access your systems to solve issues quickly
and efficiently.
• Proactive support using the latest server management and
monitoring systems.
• Strategically positioned for quick onsite response times.
• A website portal and desktop application to review and monitor
your helpdesk calls.
• Regular onsite visits and reviews of your support contract.
• We will keep you updated on the latest technologies.
We provide the following key features:
