Network Associates

Payroll is one of the most critical, and most sensitive, processes in any business. Get it wrong and you're dealing with unhappy employees, SARS penalties, and regulatory headaches that no business owner has time for.

Here's what it does for your business:

✅ Full South African tax compliance, covering PAYE, UIF, SDL, and IRP5 submissions are handled accurately and updated automatically when SARS regulations change
✅ Employee self-service, where staff can access payslips and leave information directly, reducing admin queries
✅ Flexible payroll processing, handling weekly, fortnightly, and monthly pay runs across different employee types
✅ Leave management, track and manage all leave types with ease
✅ Comprehensive reporting, with detailed payroll reports that give you full visibility and audit trails
✅ Integration with Sage accounting products, connecting your payroll data directly to your financial records

One of the biggest challenges businesses face with payroll software isn't the software itself...it's getting the setup right from the start. A misconfigured payroll can create cascading compliance issues that are painful to unwind.

That's why at Network Associates, every Sage Pastel Payroll implementation includes proper onboarding, configuration for your specific payroll structure, and ongoing support from our certified Sage specialists.

Your team gets paid correctly, on time, every time.

The 3-2-1 backup rule is one of the most widely recommended data protection strategies in IT. Yet most organisations are only partially implementing it...or not at all.

So what is it?

📌 3 copies of your data
📌 2 different storage types (e.g., local drive + cloud)
📌 1 copy stored offsite

It sounds straightforward. But here's where businesses fall short:

❌ They back up to a single external drive that sits next to the server, which means a fire, flood, or theft wipes out both
❌ They rely on a single cloud solution without any local backup, which doesn't help when they need a fast on-site recovery
❌ They haven't tested their backups in months, or ever, and don't actually know if the data is recoverable

This last point is more common than you'd think. A backup that hasn't been verified is little more than a false sense of security.

Our approach at Network Associates is to implement hybrid backup strategies that combine local and cloud-based storage, set up automated scheduling so nothing gets missed, and run regular data integrity checks to make sure your backups are genuinely recoverable, not just sitting there looking like they are.

The worst time to find out your backup doesn't work is when you actually need it.

Let us help you build a backup strategy that holds up when it matters most.

Let's be honest...most businesses only think about backups after something goes wrong ❌

A ransomware attack locks your files. A power surge fries your hard drive. An employee accidentally deletes a critical folder. And suddenly, years of work, client records, and financial data are gone.

The uncomfortable truth? Research consistently shows that a large percentage of small and medium businesses never fully recover from a major data loss event. For some, it's the end of the road entirely.

At Network Associates, we see this as completely preventable👏

Our Local & Cloud Backup solution is built around one idea: your data should always have a safe home, no matter what happens (or who happens).

Here's what that looks like in practice:

✅ Automated, scheduled backups, running quietly in the background without any manual effort from your team
✅ Encrypted storage, your data is secured both locally and in the cloud
✅ Multiple recovery points, restore to exactly where you were, whether that's yesterday or last month
✅ Hybrid backup strategy, combining on-site and cloud-based protection for a complete safety net

We work with businesses, providing both remote and on-site support. We're a team that genuinely cares about your business continuity.

Because a backup isn't just an IT checkbox. It's the difference between a bad day and a business disaster.

Most businesses are running their stock, payroll, and finances on systems that don't speak to each other. That gap costs time, money, and bad decisions 📈

We help you implement the right solution for your scale:

✅ Sage 50c Pastel: Organise stock and sales with a trusted desktop solution built for South African SMEs
