Remote Access Estate Agency IT Network Support and Maintenance
Obviously, every company is different, with different requirements, budgets, priorities, and procedures. We never assume that we know what is best for you, rather, we take the time to listen, and understand what makes your business unique, in order to provide you with IT solutions that make sense. Because of this, we believe our customers have come to trust our opinions and advice when it comes to IT.
Some of the computer network problems we can help are:
- Identifying opportunities for hardware or software to increase profitability
- Designing IT Systems that will support business objectives
- Helping you with cost / benefit analyses for large IT projects
If you are looking for a more planned and managed approach to IT within your organisation, Search and Submit Business Support Plan is ideal. The Business Support Plan will result in significant cost savings to your organisation, both through reduced rates for IT services, through the elimination of recurring problems, and most importantly, through increased effectiveness of your network - allowing your staff to work more efficiently.
All Estate Agency IT Support Plans consist of three phases;
In the Learning phase, one of our business consultants will meet with your management team to hear about you.
- What are your priorities?
- What would you like to be able to do?
- How much do you want to spend?
- How much are IT problems costing you right now?
Based on this information, we will create a proposal for moving your business towards a "best practice" IT environment. The proposal will include fixed costs, recommendations and alternatives, and we will discuss it with you in plain English to map out what's going to happen next. During this phase, we will also distribute a survey to all members of staff in your organisation. The results of this survey will be used as a baseline for measuring improvements in your organisation's Network.
The Stabilisation phase is all about ensuring your network meets a minimum level of reliability and usefulness for your staff. A poorly designed or cobbled together network is only going to cause you an endless series of problems. Our goal is to prevent problems from recurring by fixing the root causes, rather than the symptoms. Critical problem areas are addressed first, and typically this phase may include the delivery of one or more focused solutions to address key business objectives.
The Support phase is all about ensuring your cost-benefit. This "phase" is more a continual process, whereSearch and Submit ensures your network stays highly organized, documented, and stable. Preventative maintenance, Software updates, and Staff training are the hallmarks of this process. A regular strategic IT review is also conducted in order for Internet Group to report to your management team, and in order for the management team to keep Internet Group aware of any new business objectives or requirements. We will also survey your staff on a regular basis to help you measure any improvement in your organisation's Network.
There are no shortcuts to this process; we can't maintain your network to the standards we are satisfied with, until it is in a stable state. And we can't move your network to a stable state until we understand the business processes and objectives your network must support.
Estate Agency Development
Real Estate Software & IT
We are active providers of internet
marketing and IT
support services to forward thinking and entrepreneurial UK Estate
Agents. We hope that you will find this website both practical and appropriately
written. As the property industry becomes more and more reliant on new
technology for the efficiencies it can bring to the day to day running
of estate agencies it finds itself at a tremendous disadvantage in this
new environment.
Estate Agents' hardware suppliers are not aware of property software
requirements and similarly national property portals are not interested
in the configuration of an office network. The deep domain expertise
needed to specify, purchase, implement, install and manage the estate
agency computer system efficiently does not exist in the industry and
why should it? By simplifying IT
purchasing, we are currently helping major independent estate agents
in the UK to benefit from massive increases in efficiency.
The true cost of connecting to the internet did not need calculating
10 years ago and some estate agents still consider that a lot of what
is needed can be had on the cheap or for free. Exposure to wider range
of estate agency IT suppliers has left estate agents more and more confused
as they begin to calculate the true cost of computer ownership.
The fact that not one company or person is directly responsible for overall problems is even more frustrating as estate agents are left at the mercy of adolescent help line staff, delivery men and software developers met at a distant trade show in a moment of weakness.

Individual UK suppliers tend to only cover their own individual niche, so when things go wrong there is ample opportunity for collective buck passing, right up the chain. Simple problems escalate to boiling point, as all concerned try desperately to avoid responsibility for the true cost of the system. The Herculean task of just getting it all to work in the first place results in a long-term mistrust of the industry, bypassing all of the benefits the technology was originally purchased for.
Our estate agents clients make only one call when resolving any computer related issue. This policy liberates the client's staff to concentrate on lucrative property business, decreases operating expenses and maximises the return on their computing investment.
