It's a nightmare for any small business owner – a computer virus spreads, the system crashes, data is lost.

That's where the IT specialists at PC Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, can help. The company, located at 707 W. Franklin Street in Jackson, offers 24/7/365 expertise to get — and keep — business systems running smoothly.

"A small business can seldom afford its own full-time in-house IT department," says Allen Hueber, owner of PC Solutions. "We provide a highly-trained staff of multi-skilled technicians at a fraction of that cost. And since we're local, businesses don't have to wait days for support."

Last year, the company's expertise in planning and building solutions for small businesses earned it the designation "Microsoft Small Business Specialist" – the only one based in Jackson County, and one of fewer than 1,000 in the United States and worldwide in 2005. After being a Microsoft Certified Partner for three years, PC Solutions recently became a Gold Partner.

"Small businesses are looking for partner companies that understand their unique business needs,"" says Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of small business for Microsoft's Small and Midmarket Solutions & Partner Group. "With resources like the Small Business Specialist Community and the partner locator tool on the Microsoft Small Business Center website, it will be much easier for Jackson's small businesses to identify local partners best able to address their specific needs."

Jackson residents Allen and Dianna Hueber opened PC Solutions in 1992 to provide hardware and network support services to Jackson and surrounding areas. The company's white vans, with a striking gray and red logo, are a familiar sight around town.

"Any business with 10 computers or more needs an IT department if it wants to keep the business growing." Allen Hueber says. "We provide an IT department for small businesses so they can be proactive, not reactive."

The Microsoft Small Business Specialist designation shows customers PC Solutions can deliver high-value, strategic solutions. "It also provides us with early line of sight to new products, services and programs from Microsoft, extending the value we bring to our client relationships."

The PC Solutions' Microsoft team includes a certified system engineer, certified systems administrator, and 4 certified professionals. The company holds 5 A+ certifications and 3 network+ certifications. The company also has two Cisco certified network administrators, three certified Novell administrators and one certified Novell sales associate.
