Businesses & Farms

We have been providing regular IT services to small and medium sized businesses, schools and farms in the Warrnambool region for over 10 years.

If you have I.T. assets in the Warrnambool region but no resources in the area we can undertake the remote I.T. tasks and upgrades you require on a one off or continuing basis. We have done work in Warrnambool, Ballarat and surrounds for companies based in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, the state government, banks, major retails chains and non-profit organisations.

Our continued use of a great variety Mikrotik products including routers, Wifi, switches and 4G means we can help with your Mikrotik based project. See the Projects links for details.

Upgrades and Refurbish

We can do a smooth migration of office PC's from the soon to be defunct (as of Jan 2020) Windows 7 to Windows 10 or 11. Revitalise your existing office computers with an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 or 11, installation of ultra fast SSD drives and more RAM - this is far more cost effective than buying a new PC or laptop with great results.

Up and Running can advise on and manage the smooth transition of your internet, PABX and phone systems to the NBN and VoIP and minimise interruptions for you and your customers. We can set up VPNs and 4G backup systems so you don't experience any downtime if the NBN stops working.

Farming Wifi and IoT Systems

Upgrade your farm to have a site wide Wifi system connected to the NBN or 4G to get the benefits of your farming systems connected to the internet. Security cameras monitoring your cow pads, dairy sheds, fuel bowsers and other assests can be monitored from your phone. Prepare your farm for the impeding Internet of Things revolution!
See the projects showcase for examples of deployed WiFi system on farms.

Testimonials of Current Clients

Gravity Zone - Allan Marsh, Director

I was fortunate to meet Jason from Up and Running in 2013. Prior to this I had been through so called IT expert companies large and small, with a low level of satisfaction. Jason took the time to understand my business and my needs. He put in the time and attention and within a very short time all our on-going issues were resolved. IT became a background function to support the business, which left us to get on with actually concentrating on growing the business and not surviving technology headache after headache.

All this and sound reasonable costs. Jason doesn’t just sell you any old solution without regard for what the client pays, he puts a solution together that works at a price he would be comfortable to pay himself.

That’s why every business I have purchased since 2013 has Jason and “up and running” as the dedicated IT partnership.

I couldn’t recommend Jason and “Up and Running” enough.

Foursight Architects - Peter Rivera, Director

Jason’s service is so personalised, he may as well be our in-house tech department!

He’s made it his business to understand the needs and budgetary constraints of our business, delivering expert, and on demand IT services to Foursight Architects for close to a decade so far.

In this time, Jason has seamlessly managed our offices remotely — always glitch and down time free, and that is really critical in our deadline heavy design studio.

We recommend Up and Running Technology Services unreservedly!

Advantage Property Geelong - Tammy Dunstan, Director

Jason from Up and Running Technology Services has been supporting our growing business for over 5 years now.  My IT knowledge is very limited and can wholeheartedly rely on Jason to manage everything remotely.

Quick efficient response time. His knowledge base is extensive which has proven to be cost effective on my part.  I have since integrated 5 other programs into our cloud based program, which Jason co-ordinated effectively and efficiently.  His record keeping skills are thorough which gives us consistency over the year.

I can't recommend Jason enough. You will not be disappointed.

Warrnambool Holiday Park - Lisa Mordaunt, Director

We highly recommend Jason for his professionalism and knowledge of all things IT…

His regular check-ups of our technology & ongoing support, is certainly appreciated.

The technology side of our business is running more efficiently and is far more reliable, now that we have Jason on the job!
