When the internet was in its infancy, computer experts correctly predicted that the technology would revolutionize the workplace, and become a key component of businesses everywhere. They might not have known exactly how the technology would develop, and how businesses would use it, but they definitely understood the power that networks would have to bring people together.
At Network Services Group, we understand that networking is essential to the modern workplace, and we strive to keep all of our clients connected with the most up-to-date technology. Here are a few of the services that we have to offer:
Cloud-based server and exchange hosting
We can set up an email system for your workplace that can be accessed securely on all computers or mobile devices, and guarantee 99.9% uptime. We’ll keep your software up-to-date, and set up a scalable system to accommodate changes in your workforce.
Automated Backup and Disaster recovery
You no longer have to worry about losing data due to weather-related voltage spikes or human error. Your email and files will be backed up hourly to a local system at your office. Your data will also be backed up to redundant offsite locations on a daily basis, and protected with military-grade encryption.
Telephony and VOIP
We work with over 35 telecommunications providers to save you money on your phone bill, and we can set up phone systems that allow you to keep your team connected without being chained to their desks. And with new Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology, you can save even more by setting up your telephone system over your internet connection.
Since 1989, our team at Network Services Group has worked hard to stay on top of all current trends in telephony and networking, and we pride ourselves on keeping our clients connected and competitive. We guarantee your satisfaction on all of our services, and back them up with 24/7 help desk and onsite support.

It’s difficult to think of any business that doesn’t rely extensively on their computers and telephone systems on a daily basis. Technology has revolutionized the workplace, and the success of most businesses depends on keeping systems online. This is just as true for a small mom and pop boutique as it is for a large high tech company.
Hiring a full-time IT professional is typically beyond the means of most small businesses, and the reality is that tech support often falls on the shoulders of someone in the office who was hired for a completely different job. But the good news is that there is a way to have a full staff of IT professionals available around the clock, for a fraction of the cost of a new employee. It’s called managed IT, and it’s a great way for businesses to collectively share an IT staff, and only pay for the services that they use.
Network Services Group is Arkansas’ leader in managed IT, and we’re here to help you get the services that you need at a price that you can afford. We’ll work with you to determine your IT needs, and will develop a plan to keep your systems running. We can set up cloud-based server and exchange hosting for your email systems, and protect your files and records with redundant off-site backups protected with military-level encryption. We’ll train your staff on how to use the systems, and you’ll have access to telephone help desk (and onsite) support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Technology has changed a lot since we began providing managed IT in 1989, but our team of professionals works hard to stay on top of the current technology trends. Give us a call at (501)758-6058, and let us put that knowledge to work to find the right IT solution for you!

As a business owner you know the importance of Information Technology in keeping you connected to the world while keeping your data secure from both mishap and misdeed. Not every business can justify keeping a full-time IT department on staff, but that doesn’t mean IT is any less important to them. It just makes budgeting more of a challenge.
Unfortunately, one serious data breach, computer virus infection, or hardware failure can seriously tax the IT budget for many companies, leaving them vulnerable to subsequent events, unable to go through with planned upgrades, or even subject to long delays in planned expansions. Not to mention the havoc that will rain on your world should your data be lost.
Network Services Group (NSG) knows how important your business is and we can help you keep IT costs under control without sacrificing the security of your computer network and the data it contains. Because that data is everything that tells your business it is a business, meaning, if your data doesn’t stay intact you don’t stay in business.
With Managed It Services from NSG you don’t have to go it alone. For a flat monthly fee, we will proactively monitor your network, maintain it, and provide the best IT support in the business.
Plus, our Backups and Disaster Recovery will keep your data secure with on-site backups every hour, offloading it daily to a network of secure, offsite servers, and secured with military-level encryption. That not only means your data is safe from disaster and prying eyes alike, it means you’ll sleep better knowing you’ve got a handle on IT costs as well.
Because we grew up with the Internet, we understand the Information Superhighway, how it functions, what it means to businesses just like yours, and how to keep you in the fast lane and out of the ditch.
Call Network Services Group today at 501-758-6058 or contact us online and sleep better tonight.

It’s no coincidence that global spending on network managed services is projected to grow at annual compounded rate of 11.3 percent over the next five years.
Businesses are looking to outside help for expertise because there is increasingly more at stake. More companies are outsourcing their IT management and maintenance functions. Security threats continue to grow, and technology is becoming increasingly complex.
As a result, the industry is experiencing a dramatic increase in spending, with U.S. revenues associated with managed data services predicted to grow from $34 billion last year to $51 billion in 2017.
Here are some advantages your business can expect when partnering with professionals like Network Data Services:
- While we pride ourselves on being an affordable option for Arkansas’s businesses, we go to great lengths to ensure that there are no surprises when you become our client. Our team works closely with yours to identify the terms of your service agreement based on your specific needs. Unexpected, unbudgeted costs become a thing of the past.
- No provider can guarantee you won’t experience any IT issues – it’s the nature of the beast. But with nearly 20 years in the industry, we can guarantee that any unexpected problems will be fixed as soon as possible. Network Data Services offers a variety of services, including our “One Call Does It All” approach and 24-hour emergency services.
- A robust network managed services plan can complement the work already being done by your staff. If your employees are already stretched thin, many times complex aspects of the network can be handled by your provider.
- Many small businesses rely on one person to take care of all IT issues, and sometimes that employee is not trained for such tasks. While it may seem like a cost-cutting measure, it’s actually costing more money in the long run due to increased downtime.
This is, of course, is not an exhaustive list of how a managed service provider can control costs for your business. Click here to learn more, or call us today at 501-791-7900.

In today’s business world, just like always, business is built upon relationships (it’s no accident that so many deals are made on the golf course). Those relationships bring business to your business and make it function by keeping the wheels moving in the right direction. The origins of those relationships are simple: People talking to people, to new people, to more people, in an ever-widening network of relationships.
Ethernet technology wired computers together in those early networks (relationships) and Internet technology has widened those networks to new levels, enabling networks (relationships) to form that span the globe.
That’s why it’s so important to have someone who understands IT, who REALLY understands IT, involved when your business takes on a project. The project may not revolve around computers and networking but that doesn’t mean computers and networking won’t be involved with your project. Because in today’s world, if your business isn’t connected, you may as well not exist.
So, it’s vital that nothing happens to make the computers stop talking. No line of bungled code. No overwhelmed CPUs with heatsink issues. No blips, blinks, or burbles taking your data to oblivion.
If the people in your office stop talking to each other it will drive you up the wall. If the computers stop talking it will drive you out of business.
In 1989, a tiny business calling itself Network Services Group got its start by connecting computers so they would talk to each other. A couple at first, then three, add a printer, then two, fast forward to 2015, and NSG is one of the premier managed IT providers in Arkansas, offering IT management, VoIP, and Backup and Disaster Recovery. Having grown up with the Internet we understand the complexity of those networks is for a very simple purpose, to keep the lines of communication open.
When you bring NSG on board for your project, you get an IT consultant that understands more than just how to connect the dots. We understand why.
Call Network Services Group today at 501-758-6058 and open the lines of communication. Or you can contact us online and your computer can meet our computer. Isn’t that how all relationships start?
