Mac or PC? For most business computer users the answer is a PC running some version of Windows, but Apple products are seeing a boost in popularity in recent months. The Mac computer continues to mostly be relegated to relatively specific uses like multimedia and design applications, but Apple’s iPad is finding its way into more and more businesses and corporations, and used in increasingly diverse and creative ways.

But when problems arrive, who can business owners look to for help? Most IT departments and consulting businesses are PC-only, and are unprepared for the challenge of supporting Apple devices.

That’s where we come in. Providence became one of the newest members of the Apple Consultants Network in Fall 2011, and we’re now certified to support Apple users of all sizes – home or business . Plus, our own Jason Spicer recently became one of only a handful of technicians in the country to have completed Apple’s Mobility Technical Competency training.

Add this together with the fact that Providence is the only Apple Consultants Network member within 60 miles of Lansing, and the choice becomes clear. When you need help with your Apple products, think Providence.
