Another Tube Strike in London
Posted by admin on 11/02/10 | Posted in IT Support London
It seems like there is going to be another tube strike in London from 7pm today. Millions of commuters face another 24 hours of misery. Small businesses in London will feel the financial cost of a strike more heavily than bigger businesses. This will affect many London businesses since the Tube (London Underground) is the main form of transportation for much of the city. However, Scootek is ready to help your company keep working despite the problems the strike presents.
Scootek is prepared to meet your IT service needs as another 24-hour strike is set to bring London’s transportation system to a screeching halt tonight. Thousands of commuters expect to be left in travel limbo. Roads will be exceptionally congested and chaotic as many commuters opt to drive rather than languish waiting for a train, and up to one hundred extras buses will add to the clutter of the City’s streets. Those in need of rapid response IT support services can expect hefty waits from most IT support companies thanks to this mess, but Scootek will continue to provide rapid response IT support to its customers.
Scootek is a different type of IT support company. We rely on scooters to get our personnel to your computer job. Whether you’re having a major system meltdown or simply need to configure a new network, we can get there in a flash—no matter that a tube strike is bringing the City’s transportation to a halt. Based in Central London, we can easily reach you, even during a 24-hour transportation strike. Because we use scooters to reach our customers, you don’t have to worry about congestion stopping us. And even during the crazy congestion resulting from a tube strike, you’ll never see a congestion charge raising your bill. Scootek will provide you with superior IT support at a consistently low cost.
Consider the following ways you can keep your business going during this difficult time.
Remote Working Solution
We can quickly help you implement a remote work infrastructure so that you’re workers can work from home or nearby location via the Internet. Lack of transportation does not have to equal loss of business. You can be up and running in several hours with a virtual networking solution to remotely access your computers, networks, and databases. There is no reason to force your employees to drive or seek other transportation and lose valuable time that could be spent working remotely.
On-Site IT Support
Unlike many IT support systems which rely on public transportation or automobiles, we use scooters to arrive for on-site work. This means the strike has virtually no impact on our ability to service our clients. We are standing by to help you with severe IT issues if your normal service providers are not available or cannot reach your site due to the strike.
Business Does Not Have to Stop
Business doesn’t need stop just because the trains don’t run. You don’t have to miss a beat thanks to Scootek’s proactive approach to IT support. So when the tube strike grinds London to a halt, call on Scootek (0207 100 1212) for all of your IT support service needs.
Note
At the time of publication, a fourth 24-hour strike is planned for 29 November 2010. Please see Transport for London’s (the link opens a new window) website for up to date information.
