Common IT Challenges Faced by Small Businesses

Small businesses often encounter IT issues that disrupt productivity and drain resources. Here’s how we address the most common challenges:

  • Limited IT Resources - Many small businesses lack a dedicated IT team, making it difficult to manage technology effectively. Our services provide expert IT support without the cost of hiring in-house staff.
  • High IT Costs - Expensive hardware, maintenance, and unexpected repairs can strain budgets. We offer affordable, flat-rate pricing to help small businesses predict and control IT expenses.
  • Frequent Downtime - Unplanned outages can result in lost revenue and frustrated customers. Our proactive monitoring and rapid response services minimize downtime and keep your business operational.
  • Cybersecurity Risks - Small businesses are often targeted by cybercriminals due to perceived vulnerabilities. We implement robust security measures to protect your data and systems from breaches.
  • Scalability Challenges - As your business grows, your IT needs become more complex. Our solutions scale with your operations, ensuring your technology supports your growth.

Always In the Right Place at the Right Time

You can't put a price on American Frontier's experience in the industry. If it's broke, they can fix it. American Frontier is always there when we need them the most. When something goes wrong or we need help fast, they are always in the right place at the right time, sometimes before I even...

You can't put a price on American Frontier's experience in the industry. If it's broke, they can fix it. American Frontier is always there when we need them the most. When something goes wrong or we need help fast, they are always in the right place at the right time, sometimes before I even have a chance to respond to the problem (and I work here.) In the last 2 years, I haven't heard one "no" or "that's not in the contract." In my last job, customers were sold packages of support. I had to deal with "That's not covered unless you want to upgrade the package." American Frontier is there to help you, not nickel and dime you. When it comes to making business decisions, I can trust James's advice, because he's been there. James will give it to you straight, even if it's not what you want to hear. They are honest and trustworthy partners I can call whenever I need help.

Our downtime has been mostly non-existent since we have been a client of American Frontier. Responsiveness is outstanding. In the event (rare) that we have had any type of issue it is resolved quickly and most of the time remotely. Our previous IT Firm was slow with a response and often took multiple attempts to correct the issue. James and Don have taken the time to understand our needs and have actually delivered results over and above our expectations. Also, when we needed new IT equipment, they made recommendations on what we should go with. Then they sourced it for us, configured, and deployed the new machines with minimal interruption to our business. If you are in need of a full-service IT Provider, there is no firm I would give a higher recommendation to than American Frontier. They will over deliver on their promise to meet your needs.

American Frontier (AF) has been taking care of all IT matters for Research Triangle Dental for over 20 years. AF has demonstrated a very high level of expertise in selecting and installing appropriate hardware and software to support the growth of the business. AF has provided peace of mind through reliable professional oversight and maintenance of all systems. With the business being open 7 days a week we have always been able to count on AF to take care of any emergency needs in a very timely fashion. I have a habit of being very picky about service providers, and when I find a good one I stick with it. I am sticking with AF and highly recommend that you give them a try if your IT firm is not living up to your expectations.
