Computer Repair and Support

Our mission is to provide the most convenient, affordable and comprehensive computer service experience to each and every customer we work with. At Harbor Data Systems of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, we have standard rates for all technical support ($85/hr). Other companies choose to charge per issue or problem. Computer repair takes knowledge, time, and tools, so why charge more for one thing over the other? You don’t need to disassemble your computer to bring it to us, we offer complimentary pick-up, remote, and onsite service. By keeping a low overhead, we’re able to charge less than our competitors. Here’s an example:

Geek Squad virus repair $149 (remote) , $199 (in-store), $299 (business customers)
Staples virus removal $169.99 (on-site)
Harbor Data Systems (average) $45-$85 (remote, on-site, or in our lab. Your choice!)

Free Disaster Readiness Analysis

What is your disaster recovery plan? If your business computers were unavailable or destroyed right now from theft, power surge, virus, hacker attack, flood, or fire, could you still do business? How much time would you need before you would be able to service your customers again?

Business owners of Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and North Port can now benefit from a free disaster readiness analysis. We’ll help you determine approximately how long it would take for your business to be back in operation for several different scenarios, and make suggestions on how you can counter these possibilities with a disaster recovery plan.

Computer and Network Security

Firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, anti-malware, anti-rootkits, we service it all. We can also run a comprehensive security analysis on your home or office networks to find potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your systems security.

Our backup solutions range from tape and RAID drives to personal or encrypted web-based off-site solutions hosted by Amazon’s popular and secure S3 service.

Safety doesn’t just stop at digital security. We can help lock down your computers and servers to ensure that physical access in case of theft or break-in is limited, and encrypt all the data stored on your computer to ensure that if computer theft does happen, your sensitive data will be safe.

Software Development

If you don’t have the software your business needs to operate effectively and efficiently, we can help! We’ll start with a needs analysis and research commercially free, open source solutions that might suit your needs, or build your software from the ground up so that you alone retain the license. We specialize in:

• Web-based applications (PHP, ASP, .NET)
• Database-driven technology (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Standalone software (Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET, C#, and more)
