Do your employees currently send email to customers from a free (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) account, and leave you with no way to monitor, backup, or manage those accounts? Perhaps you're struggling to find a good way to share calendar / schedule information or centrally save contacts.

A rich solution such as that offered by Microsoft Exchange Server (included in Microsoft Small Business Server 2008) gives employees rich, efficient access to e-mail, contacts, and calendars.
ACI's email solutions allow your users to utilize Microsoft Outlook from their desk, the internet, or from home / on the road. Mobile device support is also available to allow access from a smartphone, blackberry, iPhone, or PDA.

Many small business owners neglect the importance of maintaining and testing data backups...until it's too late. ACI offers a complete suite of backup products and services which can be tailored to your specific business.
At the most basic level, our technicians and work with you to perform backups to CD's, DVD's, or removable hard drives...often times with software you already own but may not know you have!
Stepping up from that, there are several software packages that do an excellent job of backing up servers and PC's using either shadow copies or full disk images. These can often be used to recover your entire PC or server onto different hardware should you experience a catastrophic failure.
Our top of the line solution uses automated online backups to backup your data to a secure datacenter for archiving. This is done over the internet and requires no intervention on your end. We also offer plans encompassing other routine maintenance that include this backup service and monitoring of it for our small business customers.

Most businesses have at least one software package they consider essential to doing business. Many have this application installed in such a manner that users need to share a computer or share data files to gain shared access.
On the simplest level, a file server often solves this problem by sharing the applications data files. Going a step further, deploying your application(s) onto a server allows you to utilize Microsoft Terminal Services to gain shared access to this application.
Terminal Services will allow multiple users to be in the application at the same time, and provides the added benefits of allowing users to connect to applications from home computers or public kiosks securely. It further simplifies administration by allowing you to manage a single installation of the software, so updates / patches only need to be applied to one system.
Are your employees still emailing files back and forth to share them? Perhaps you have information silos where particular files are saved on specific computers, forcing you to hunt down a specific employee when you need access to a particular file.
All of our server offerings can be configured as file and print servers. This gives you one central location to store information while preserving security and allowing files to be backed up regularly.
We also offer network attached storage devices which allow you to have a slightly limited version of file sharing for a fraction of the cost of a complete server offering.
