35 years of IT experience, established locally in 1993

With 35 years of hands-on IT experience, Shortcut Computers has been supporting South East Melbourne businesses since 1993. That work now extends across registered data cabling, licensed CCTV/security equipment installation and qualified Test & Tag.

What we actually do

We started in 1993 doing computer support for small business, and that is still the core of it — most of our customers are businesses we look after year after year on a support contract.

Alongside that sits the infrastructure underneath it: registered data cabling, cabinets and networks, licensed CCTV/security equipment installation, and qualified Test & Tag. Keeping those credentials current means the same experienced technician can look after both the technology and the infrastructure underneath it.

How we work

You deal with the person doing the job. Most work can be priced over the phone once you describe it; for larger jobs we book a site visit by appointment. Work happens around your hours where it needs to — cabling and test and tag are disruptive in a working office, so a lot of what we do happens early, late or on weekends.

When we finish a job, you get details on what was done, Test & Tag test results and basic training on how to use your new equipment or hardware. This makes it easier for the next scheduled updates to be done where we left off.

What we don't do

We do not take on home computer repair. It is not what we are set up for, and you would be better served by someone who specialises in it. Call us anyway and we will point you to someone local — there is no charge for a recommendation.
