hen you’re running a small or growing business, tech issues can feel like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. You’re juggling real work — and suddenly email breaks, devices lag, or files go missing.

At UpTek Now, we’ve supported dozens of small teams just like yours, and we’ve seen the same issues come up again and again. The good news? Most of them are solvable with a few smart fixes.

Here are five of the most common tech pain points we see — and what we do to make them go away.

“Our Email and Calendars Don’t Sync Right”

The Problem:
Someone misses a meeting. An important email doesn’t show up. Your team’s productivity drops because you can’t count on your communication tools.

The Fix:
We help clients migrate to managed platforms like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — configured correctly. We make sure calendars, inboxes, and permissions are synced across devices and teams so communication just works.

“Printers and Wi-Fi Are Constant Headaches”

The Problem:
You waste 15 minutes a day just trying to get a document to print or reconnect to the network. Multiply that across your team, and it’s a serious drain.

The Fix:
We standardize equipment, optimize your wireless layout, and set up network segmentation so your printers, devices, and guests aren’t all stepping on each other. You’d be amazed what a clean setup can do.

“We Keep Getting Weird Emails — Is This a Scam?”

The Problem:
Phishing emails, spam links, and suspicious login attempts are on the rise — and even smart employees can fall for them.

The Fix:
We install advanced email filtering and threat detection, plus offer basic security training for your team. A few simple changes can dramatically reduce risk and give your staff confidence.

“Our Computers Are Getting Slower and Slower”

The Problem:
A few years ago, things were snappy. Now? Your laptop groans just opening Excel. It’s frustrating and kills focus.

The Fix:
We assess your current hardware and recommend upgrades or replacements — based on real needs, not upsells. We also clean up bloatware and keep your systems running efficiently with regular maintenance.

Tech shouldn’t slow you down — it should just work.

If your team is bumping into these issues, you’re not alone. We fix this stuff every day for small businesses who just want to get back to doing what they do best.

Let us handle the headaches — so you don’t have to.
