Alexis IT

Holy Smokes there's a lot going on at the moment! Our team are pretty hectic with no sign of that slowing down (that's certainly not saying that there's not room for more!!).

Not all of what we are seeing going on out there is good sadly, and there seems to be yet another surge of phishing emails doing the rounds... Key word there is "another"...

If an email looks dodgy then that's exactly how you should treat it. Don't be in a hurry to open any attachments or links from someone you don't know. Spend a minute or two to look at the senders email address (this is usually the first telltale sign) and domain, the wording is often not correct and is commonly what we'd refer to as broken English. There's often a sense of urgency in the tone or content which is there specifically to make you want to act without thinking about a potential consequence.

If all fails and you're still not 100% sure, DELETE IT!

The Alexis team have been battling through the Winter period with only a couple of crew members being hit by the myriad of bugs going around. The ability to work remotely has been a huge saving grace and if this is something you and your business still haven't jumped on then get in touch! There's a number of fantastic solutions that make working remotely super-simple.

In the meantime, please be diligent and treat any suspicious looking email with care.

What a seriously chaotic time it's been of late!

The team have been super busy on a number of different projects ranging from WiFi Access Point and data cabling upgrades to telephony, home automation, and even developing some exciting new reports that will revolutionise our customers' understanding of the state of their I.T environments.

We welcomed Jamie into the expanding Alexis IT team to help provide desktop support, and it's safe to say we are settling nicely into our new premises at 851 Victoria Street. On the subject of which, if you're in the area feel free to pop up to Level 1 and come say hi!

Our busy cabling team are full-noise installing new AP's and when they're not doing that, they're negotiating some precarious voids to connect a number of existing Comms rooms around an 𝘌𝘟𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘔𝘌𝘓𝘠 large site with new fibre ties.

The new Alexis van has been signwritten and (we think) it looks awesome! Next in the queue is the rest of the fleet which will also be given a fresh looks to match. Keep an eye out for them around town.

As hard as it is to believe, we are rapidly approaching the final quarter of 2022, and we all know what comes next right??? Maybe we'll tackle that one a little bit later... just for sanity's sake!

Whether it's IT, access control, data, or security needs.... never hesitate to reach out to our friendly team. At the end of the day, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 are the reason we have existed for the past 20+ years!
