Dial a Nerd Business - Computer Network Support & Maintenance

Dial a Nerd Business is a division of Nerdworks created to meet the demand of SMEs requiring a rapid, professional response to their ongoing IT support and maintenance needs. Dial a Nerd has always focused on home and small business users, and the creation of Dial a Nerd Business has allowed us to widen that focus to assist larger organisations.

Dial a Nerd Business grew out of Dial a Nerd, a home support company started by Colin Thornton in 1998. Formerly known as Network Nerds, Dial a Nerd Business was started in 2003 by two senior nerds, taking friendly Dial a Nerd support service and augmenting it with quicker response times, service level agreements and more experienced technicians to suit the corporate environment.

Since its inception it has grown to be a fundamental part of the organisation with offices in Hurlingham, Sunninghill, Pretoria and Edenvale in Gauteng, and Woodstock in Cape Town.  Email us and a Business representative will be in touch!



The Dial a Nerd Business approach is to take a close look at a clients IT system, usually with information that has been gathered by doing a comprehensive IT audit, and formulating a proposal which outlines key areas that need to be addressed and the means for doing so. The core focus of the proposal is around usability, efficiency, redundancy and minimizing down time.

Based on the nature of the IT system various suitable Service Level Agreements are available which guarantee certain high levels of support.
These agreements provide peace of mind for many SME clients who rely heavily on their IT systems and cannot afford to have down time.

Dial a Nerd Business solutions are built around the latest Windows and Linux platforms and are uniquely designed and configured with the specific needs of the client’s business in mind. The Dial a Nerd Business team is made up of senior Dial a Nerd technicians who have completed advanced training courses, have years of practical experience in the field and can apply their skills to a variety of different IT systems and scenarios.”
