Avid
Avid/NLE Editors depend on their Avids to get the job done, and they depend on Z Systems to keep their Avids running healthy and to be there when things go bad. We are an Avid Premier Reseller with two on-staff ACSRs to minimize your downtime. With one ACSR speaking fluent Windows, and the other a Mac guy, we'll get you going again. What's that? You're not completely down, just in need of a little tune-up? Computer not working fast like it should? The media keeps disappearing? No problem is too small. We'd like to help.

Networks
Every year, hundreds of brains are senselessly numbed while trying to figure out a networking problem. For Pete's sake, put that brain away and call us up. We have people on-staff to figure out those maddening problems for you. Our shining example is Greg Chastain, whose own residence features a ratio of four computers for every beating human heart. You've got Mac, you've got PC, or you've got some mutt mix of a litter that isn't talking nicely like they should, it really doesn't matter. We can get you back up and running fast.
