Managed Full Desktop Hosting Service Features Include:

Cost-Effective
The value proposition is simple: our Managed Desktop saves you money. Our low monthly fee is less than the cost to support the alternatives of in house processing. This is based on the hard cost of equipment and software that you will no longer need to purchase, support, and upgrade. The remote accessibility, improved security, and other soft cost benefits are all a bonus. You continue to maintain the ownership of the only part of your IT infrastructure that has any real value to you and your company, the applications and data.

• Less Equipment
• Less Bandwidth
• Less Software
• Less of Your Time
• Less Personnel

Portable
Imagine your office desktop, with all of your applications and data available from any Internet connection. Processing speed is no longer a question of what computer you are using. Whether you are using your office desktop, laptop, your kid’s computer, or even your PDA, the processing speed will all be the same when you are using Managed Desktop. All of this and 24/7 support is available right now for less than you are currently paying for either slow remote access or no remote access at all.

• Anytime/Anywhere
• Centralized Data
• Real Time Remote Support
• 24/7 Support

Secure
Most people think about hackers or viruses when thy talk about security. This is only the start for a professional hosting company. We look below the surface of security issues to deal with redundancy, fail over technology, multigenerational backups, power generation and physical security. The single biggest security hole in most companies is the lack of secure remote access to your information. The alternative is your employees copying customer lists and critical information and taking them home with them. This is good from a productivity viewpoint, but very bad from a security viewpoint. Centralized, secure data with limited download capabilities are your best safeguard. Companies keep their cash in a professionally managed organization called a bank, why would they not do the same with the asset that produces that cash: information.

• Firewall
• Secure Data
• Intruder Detection
• Backups
• VPN
• Virus Scanning
• Encrypted Data Traffic

Rapidly Deployed
So you have finally decided on just the right accounting system or your CRM system has finally added the features you have been requesting for the past year, only to find that you will need to upgrade from Windows NT to Windows 2000/2003 and purchase an additional 2 servers to make it all work. This is not the case when you are our Client. With us you pay for the seat and not by the application or the infrastructure.What is even better is that your software vendor can load, deploy and support from their office without you paying for or waiting for travel. This is particularly helpful when dealing with updates and upgrades. Each workstation no longer needs to be loaded and configured individually. Server based processing allows these functions to be centralized and deployed quickly and efficiently.

• No Workstation Updates
• No Server Builds
• No Infrastructure Delays

 
Focus Personnel
Your personnel and how they use their time is the key to the success of your company. Unless your company is in the business of providing IT infrastructure, your people should not be spending their time working on IT Infrastructure issues. Outsourcing is not new in business. Many functions are best outsourced for both quality and cost reasons. For many of the same reasons that you outsource such functions as: Legal, Building Construction, Payroll Processing, and Auto Repair, you should consider outsourcing your IT Infrastructure.

• Reduce Down Time
• Control Desktop Applications
• Allow Telecommuting
• Focus on Core Competency
• Streamline Support
