			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When running a business like Mattian we rely on &#8216;cloud&#8217; based solutions and online partners to help us every single day.</p>
<p>The services we can provide are enhanced by the services we buy in. Here are a few examples:</p>
<p><strong>Call Handling</strong></p>
<p>We use a company to answer our initial calls. Due to the nature of the job, we are often unavailable to answer every single call that comes into our business. We need a reliable method of ensuring we dont miss any calls or customers, and that they are spoken to by people who know the business, and can do more then just take a message. Thats why we use <a href="http://www.nomissedcalls.co.uk">No Missed Calls</a> to answer our calls. They have access to our calendar, and have been trained in how our business works. We have a group of 3 call handlers, who will work with us to provide an excellent service.</p>
<p><strong>Email, Calendar and Contacts</strong></p>
<p><a title="Hosted Exchange Email" href="http://www.mattian.co.uk/website-design/share-your-calendars-and-contacts-with-our-hosted-exchange-solutions/">We sell to our customers a complete hosted communication system</a> &#8211; so of course we use it ourselves. Our call handlers and staff can access their emails, calendars, to do list and contacts on mobiles, ipads, laptops or computers anywhere with internet connection. We can also view each others calendars and contacts to ensure we all know where the others are!</p>
<p><strong>Online accountancy</strong></p>
<p>We use the well known <a href="http://bit.ly/l6tSqz">KashFlow</a> accountancy package &#8211; it allows us to access customers records and all our invoices online from anywhere with internet access. The best part is &#8211; we dont have to back up any data, upgrade any software or worry about where it is installed!</p>
<p><strong>A virtual assistant</strong></p>
<p>We use the net to find people who can help us run our business better &#8211; and we have used<a href="http://grofficesolutions.co.uk/"> Rebecca from GR Office Solutions</a> to aid us in marketing our business, when we simply did not have time. A cost effective solution which allowed us to carry on with our business.</p>
<p><strong>Could your business benefit?</strong></p>
<p>We find all our suppliers these days through Twitter accounts or websites, and recommendations from other social network users. This is why you are missing out on a big slice of business if your not using these services, as many other SMEs are doing the same. <a title="Website Design" href="http://www.mattian.co.uk/website-design/">We can help your online presence grow and become more effective.</a></p>
<p>But if your business is wishing to move to the next level &#8211; IT support is much more then just fixing your computers &#8211; allow us to guide you through how to get the most from lots of different technology based solutions just like we do. For help or advice with any of the above services, or if you want to find a solution for a particular issue -<a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.mattian.co.uk/contact-us/"> please get in touch.</a></p>
<p>Our lines are open from 8-8 Mon &#8211; Fri and 10-4 Sat/Sun &#8211; 01562 259002 or email talk@mattian.co.uk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its like a scene from the movies, you turn your back for one second and your laptop falls, almost in slow motion to the floor &#8211; or you close the screen forgetting something is inside the lid &#8211; or more weirdly (and we have had this happen to a client!) your dogs fall onto your laptop in the back of the car!</p>

We will pick up your screen from your home, and drop it off back to you when we are all done.</p>
<p>Replacement Screens start from as little as £45 + £35 fitting dependent on size and your make and model, give us a call on 01562 259002 or email <a href="mailto:talk@mattian.co.uk">talk@mattian.co.uk</a> for us to provide you with a quote today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the end of last year we launched our Mattian Help Centre &#8211; a service which allows our customers to get monthly support when they need it, for a flat fee of just £7.99 a month</p>
<p>We launched the system to help those users who have the odd question, but don&#8217;t want to keep paying call out fees when they are not needed.</p>
<p>The system offers customers the chance to ask questions and get support via our online help system, and once logged these questions will get as much support as possible, if however we cannot work out the solution together, our staff will call you to talk through the issue.</p>
<p>We promise to get back to you within 24 hours of you submitting your question, so you are never left waiting.</p>
<p>We also now offer remote support at just £25 a session, but this is reduced to £15 if you are a help centre member.</p>
<p>So, if you are interested in signing up to our new venture, visit <a href="http://www.mattian.co.uk/mattian-help-centre/">http://www.mattian.co.uk/mattian-help-centre/</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last 2 weeks we have brought in 6 netbooks for our customers looking for a portable gem!</p>
<p>Netbooks are like laptops, only with a smaller screen (around 10.1&#8243;) and a lot longer battery life. Storage space wise they usually have around 160-250GB (more then enough) and run slightly lower spec processors then low mid range laptops (to help conserve battery life)</p>
<p>The brilliant thing about them is that they are cheap &#8211; under £300 easily. This gets you a great little laptop which can be used for simple web browsing, basic editing of documents and email.</p>
<p>Whatsmore, these things are great on the move &#8211; because the batteries tend to last for 5 hours +. When used in conjunction with a 3G dongle, you can be connected to the internet anywhere where you can get a mobile phone signal (providing its 3G)</p>
<p>So if you are interested in one of these cool little notebooks &#8211; then why not get in touch &#8211; we can offer you a great deal and expert advice!</p>
