What we can help with
Actif helps businesses, individuals, families, and organizations keep their technology working. We provide onsite support throughout the Bay Area and remote assistance when the task allows it. Start with a specific problem, a planned upgrade, or an ongoing support arrangement.
Networks and WiFi
Assess coverage, reliability, and capacity in an office or home. Plan networking equipment, connectivity, and the physical infrastructure needed for the space.
Cloud and workplace systems
Support Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and related business tools. Coordinate setup, migrations, user access, and the way systems work together.
Security and ongoing care
Review endpoint protection, email security, firewalls, and access practices. Agree on the systems covered and the work included before starting an ongoing engagement.

What affects pricing
The number of users and devices, system complexity, onsite work, urgency, and ongoing responsibilities all affect the scope. A one-time issue, a migration, and a monthly support arrangement need different estimates. Our pricing page lists current rates and retainer starting points; the proposal defines what is included.

Bring a short description of the issue, the number of affected users or devices, your city, and any timing constraints. You do not need to know the technical cause. Do not send passwords or confidential client records through the contact form.
Common questions
Do you provide onsite IT support in Walnut Creek?
Yes. Actif provides onsite support in Walnut Creek and across Contra Costa County, including Concord, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. We also serve Oakland, San Francisco, and the wider Bay Area.
Can you help remotely?
Yes. Many software, account, and configuration tasks can be handled remotely. Hardware, cabling, WiFi coverage, and some troubleshooting may need an onsite visit. We agree on the appropriate approach when scoping the work.
Is support only for businesses?
No. Actif also works with individuals, families, nonprofits, schools, and other organizations. Home networks and personal devices can be included in the scope.
How quickly can someone help?
Tell us the urgency when you contact us. Appointment availability, response windows, and any ongoing service commitments are agreed for your engagement. Call to confirm availability for an urgent issue; an inquiry alone does not reserve an immediate visit.
Do I need an ongoing contract?
You can engage Actif for a defined project or discuss ongoing support. The pricing page explains the current project and retainer options, and your proposal sets the covered work.
What if the problem also needs automation?
Our Information Technology and Frontier divisions can coordinate. IT handles the operating environment, while Frontier develops custom software, integrations, or workflow automation when those are part of the agreed solution.
