Compu-Tune Up Selected by UVa Medical Alumni Association for IT Contract

Compu-Tune Up has been selected to provide comprehensive IT service to the University of Virginia’s Medical Alumni Association. Under a three year contract, the company will provide service and maintenance to the Association’s PC system, including networking services, software, hardware, and off-site security back-up, as well as training.

Barry Collins, Executive Director of the UVa Alumni Association, chose Compu-Tune Up for his office’s IT outsourcing in part because he was very satisfied with an emergency service call. “Compu-Tune Up was very prompt and we liked their service orientation.” Collins decided he wanted a company that could provide a holistic solution for the Association’s PCs and networking. “We didn’t just want things fixed when they broke. We liked Compu-Tune Up’s approach to regular maintenance – making sure things don’t break, as well as maintaining virus protection and off-site back up for our files.”

“We’ll be their IT staff,” said Compu-Tune Up’s founder and president Johnny Forbes. “Our core business is providing turn-key IT service for those without any IT staff, from regular maintenance to training -- and everything in between.”
