Nowadays it seems almost impossible how we could run our businesses efficiently 
without computers. Nearly every company has one, hence industry is reacting
quickly to the use of the web as an advertising and promotional tool.

Producing a web site is now affordable and practical. With such a versatile medium
at your disposal why not give us a call to discuss just how the web could work for you!

Can your company survive longer than a few hours without email?
Do your employees share common files?

If you answered yes to either of these, then chances are you have server infrastructure 
that is of critical importance to your users. Absolute provides you experienced and 
knowledgeable engineers who are experts at ensuring your critical infrastructure is 
available, so your users experience little or no productivity loss.

• Backup systems
• Security (protecting sensitive data)
• Email systems (including anti-spam)
• Shared access to files and printers

The desktop computer has evolved from a tool for individual productivity to a mission-critical 
component for sharing information. 

How fast and how broadly information is shared can often be the key determinant of 
efficiency, productivity, and client satisfaction. However, the proliferation of desktop 
computers also makes it more difficult, time consuming, and expensive to manage 
IT resources in a rapidly changing organisational and technical environment.

• Restricting user access (server and desktop level)

We all need it to do our work, but paper accumulates quickly. Folders and
filing systems make it easier to find our documents but the amount of 
paper keeps growing. Paper files are often hard to find and records may
not be in their proper folder. Studies show that professionals often lose
up to 500 hours a year looking for documents. Document management 
offers a better way to manage the records you rely on.

Thousands of organisations around the world use document management 
every day instead of paper filing systems. The reasons for this change 
are simple:

The steps necessary to introduce document management:
A suitable document scanner (see hardware image below) and document management
software (networked or stand-alone)

Documents are scanned into the system. The document management system stores them
somewhere on a hard drive or networked storage. The documents then get indexed. When 
a person later wants to read a document, he or she uses the retrieval tools available in the 
document management system. Which documents can be read and what actions performed 
on these documents is dependent on the access provided by the document management system.

Absolute are proud to introduce an environmentally friendly collection and secure
disposal service of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment. Established
for over 15 years in the provisioning of business supplies and technology, we 
believe that it is part of our responsibility to keep you informed of new legislation 
which could affect your business.         

By June 2006, the UK Government is required under EU law to introduce legislation to 
protect the environment by reducing the amount of electrical equipment - this will include 
PC's, printers, laptops, phones and even domestic electrical equipment - dumped in skips 
and going into landfill.

Under this legislation, there will be fines of up to £20,000 for non-compliance or disposing 
of electrical equipment in an improper fashion. Therefore it is very important that you are 
able to demonstrate that you have disposed of any 'end-of-life' equipment in an 
environmentally responsible way.

Absolute have teamed up with Life Cycle Services (LCS), an organisation specialising in the 
collection and secure disposal of electrical equipment, with depots throughout the UK. LCS 
collects and disposes of second user IT equipment to the highest ethical and environmental 
standards, meeting all existing and foreseeable legislation. We can arrange for collection of 
the equipment on your behalf, processing it in a secure and environmentally ethical manner 
and providing you with a report detailing the full process control and traceability of each asset.

In the course of this process any residual data on hard 
drives will go through a certified data destruction process 
(LCS utilises Blancco Data Cleaner+ (BDC+) 4.2 and 
3.7r which provides 100% secure erasure) and a 
certificate will be issued to confirm its destruction. 
(Bear in mind that simply wiping the hard disk does 
not remove the data, it can be retrieved! - The Blancco
process will remove the data permanently).

When you are replacing any electrical equipment in future, 
please call Absolute on 0800 980 7424 and we will be 
pleased to help you dispose of your end-of-life equipment 
in an environmentally responsible manner and ensure you 
comply with the new regulations.
