"At Shiloh Service, we know that the only real answer you want is peace of mind."

1I don't have a network. How do I know if I need one or if it is cost effective?
If you have a need to share data (documents, pictures, spreadsheets), share internet access, or share expensive equipment (such as a color laser printer or a duplexing printer), a network is the answer you’re looking for. At Shiloh, we specialize in network integration - the art of finding the right combination of hardware and software that meets your specific needs in a cost-effective way.

We understand that everyone isn't a computer tech! Shiloh IT Customer Support works with you to help you understand your new or existing network. New users frequently call in as they need help with issues they do not see every day.

We often solve problems using Remote Support or with a short service call. With a service contract you receive immediate response. All of our sales include a one-year service agreement.
