Richardson Technology audits computer networks for school districts and businesses in Denver, Colorado.

There are some things that we all dislike doing...  One that I often see can have disastrous results:  not documenting all the details about your businesses' data network.

Please document your equipment while it is running - the worst thing for both you and your technology consultant is for a mission critical device to break, your business depends on this equipment for its daily operation, the person who configured it is gone, and nothing was written down.

Updated network documentation will give your organization the ability to locate information about critical systems if they fail, are destroyed, or administrative support staff are replaced.

With an investment of  just a few hours, we can collect and assemble important information about your network that could save you thousands of dollars in lost productivity the next time something goes wrong.

We has been documenting networks for over 5 years. 

Rationale for keeping a documentation binder

• Record critical network components while they're still operating.
• Troubleshoot network outages faster more efficiently.
• Prepare for catastrophic loss insurance claim.
• Transition to new network support staff.

Cost vs. Value

• An initial investment in network documentation pays for itself the first time you need it.
• Documentation is a living work that should be updated regularly.
• Efficient recovery from disasters equals less downtime.

Plan ahead - document your network now!
