What can I do for a small office?

Inventory, access, recommend, implement.

I'll look at your current setup - how old are the current machines, what version of Office are you on, what are you using for antivirus, etc.

I'll look at what you use computers for, what your business does, how well you're making use of technology, can we reduce monthly costs, etc.

I'll recommend a strategy to make technology work for you in a cost effective way. I hate inefficiency and am pretty good at automating away mundane, tedious, or wasteful things that seem to build up over time that the users have just gotten use to.

What's the most I could do as a one-man shop in this area?

Buy replacement PC's if needed, build and install a server with Small Business Server 2003, network the machines behind a firewall, and leave the customer with a setup disc to restore a PC if it should get corrupted.

Small Business Server 2003 means I can give you your own Exchange server with your own email (no more POP server so you can logon at any machine and see your same email boxes). It gives you remote webmail too. You can even remote into the office and get to your PC to work from home. It means I can redirect your My Documents folder to the server so all the files on all the computers can get backed up each night. It means I can setup a policy to push the latest security updates from Microsoft and alert you if a machine falls out of compliance for some reason (pretty rare). It means you can have an internal intranet if you need one. Then I can install the latest version of Symantec AntiVirus to force all machines to get the latest definitions each day to keep your computers protected.
