One of the greatest keys to success as a small business owner is watching every dollar, and figuring out ways to do more with less. You have to determine which expenses are absolutely necessary, and which ones are expendable.
Unfortunately, many small businesses make the mistake of thinking that IT services are something that they don’t need, or can’t afford. They do, and they can! Our team at Network Services Group has been central Arkansas’ leading managed IT service provider for decades, and we’re ready to show you how affordable that managed IT services can be! The way that it works is simple: managed data services are affordable, because multiple companies share the expense of an IT department, and only pay for the services that they actually use. Most companies don’t need a full time employee on the payroll, but when there is an issue, it’s not always a one-person job to resolve. Here are a few of the key advantages of managed IT:
99.9% uptime-Staying connected is priority number one for virtually every company in the world. It doesn’t matter if you run a small boutique business or a Fortune 500 company: if you’re not connected, you’re at the mercy of your competitors that are. We work with over 35 telecommunications companies to make sure that network outages are both rare, and short.
Secure Document Management-We’ll set up a secure Network Attached Storage (NAS) server that will keep your data protected. All of your data will automatically be locally backed up on an hourly basis, and backed up offsite every night. But it doesn’t stop there! Your information will also be redundantly backed up at multiple sites, and protected with military grade encryption.
24/7 Live Helpdesk Support-All of our clients enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that our phones are always answered. We’re able to resolve most issues over the phone, but if it requires an onsite visit, we’ll be there!
At NSG, we take pride in our partnerships with small businesses, and we have a service plan to fit even the leanest budgets. For more information, or to schedule a free consultation, contact us online, or give us a call at 501-758-6058.

With the news that fully two-thirds of Americans recently had their data exposed in what may be the largest security breach ever, data security is a topic that can no longer be ignored: Your business simply has too much at stake to leave your data unprotected.
If you haven’t taken adequate steps to secure your company’s data, you’re taking a big gamble with a deck that’s stacked against you. Late last year, Yahoo! had 1.5 BILLION user accounts compromised in two separate breaches, the largest theft of data in history.
At Network Services Group, we take your data security seriously. By utilizing our cloud services, your data will be backed up hourly to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server located on site. Once a day, backups of your NAS are sent to our Data Center and copied redundantly on several secure servers. We also copy the entire daily backup to a second data center located out of state.
By utilizing “the cloud,” you have the advantage of onsite and offsite backups that are secured with military level encryption. Your data will be protected from hackers, severe weather, sabotage, viruses, and clumsy employees. And, should the unthinkable ever happen, you can recover individual files and folders within minutes. With our detailed recovery plan, you’ll have your entire infrastructure, data and operating system back to normal with minimal work flow interruption.
At NSG, our team of technicians have grown up with the internet, and we’re Arkansas’ top provider of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony, IT management, and disaster recovery. Network Services Group has been managing IT networks since 1989, when the information superhighway was still a one-lane dial-up dirt road, so you can rest assured that we’ve learned a few things about data security over the years.
Don’t take a chance with your company’s future! Call Network Services Group today at 501-758-6058 or contact us online to schedule your service consultation.

Today, more than ever, data protection is vital to your business. Because businesses have become increasingly dependent on technology to serve their customers and grow their companies, their digital assets, and the security of those assets,are the lifeblood of their business. But natural disasters, human error, and cybercrime are just a few of the ways that a company can find themselves searching for lost data. How can they protect themselves?
The good news is that our team at Network Services Group has been helping our clients enjoy true peace of mind for almost three decades, and we’re ready to help you create a network for your office that will facilitate greater communication and collaboration, while keeping your data secure.. Here’s how it works:
Network Attached Storage
We’ll begin by setting up a secure network server and exchange system with Network Attached Storage (NAS). Your team members will stay connected with an efficient email and file management system, and your data will always be secure in the cloud. Your system will perform an onsite backup on an hourly basis, and an encrypted cloud backup every night. Your data will be stored on redundant offsite servers, and protected with military grade data encryption. In the event of any data loss, you can select a system restore point, and be back up in minutes!
Automatic Software Updates
During your nightly backup, you will also receive automatic software updates and antivirus definitions. Most cyberattacks are based on exploiting well-known vulnerabilities in out of date software, and staying current is one of the best defenses!
24/7 Live and Helpdesk Support
We don’t just set up your network and say goodbye! Our phone is always answered, and if we can’t solve your problem over the phone, we’ll dispatch a technician. Our clients enjoy 99.9% uptime, and we’re committed to solving all technical problems in a flash!
