Desktop Hosting Benefits

Legal, Current and Consistent Application Software. With Desktop Hosting your organization is using legal software though out the business. No need to worry about users loading pirated or illegal software on their desktops (opening you to legal risk). Furthermore, every user has the same application software which is updated once for the whole organization. No more worries about the headaches that come from incompatible software release levels.

Security and Data Integrity. Companies can restrict downloading of company sensitive or confidential information. Your organization can restrict printing of the information, if necessary. You have one data base reducing the confusion caused by conflicting documents. It will no longer be necessary to copy files to a laptop or CD for review whilst out of the office, thereby reducing the risk of important data being stolen, lost, out of sync or corrupted in any way. All your information is held securely and centrally in our data center. Your data is backed up every day and stored off-site ensuring compliance with the data back-up best practices.   No more worries about bringing backup tapes or DVDs to and from the office.

Reduced Cost of Service. Not only are your applications provided more securely and reliably, they are paid based on use.  Companies now pay only for what they use on a monthly basis. Add a person, add a user, User leaves, reduce your expense. No need to have software around that no one is using. Managing a fleet of computers and laptops for your business can consume significant resources. Updating desktop software, setting security policies, and providing day-to-day support for basic applications requires time that your IT staff could invest in projects that actively build your business. Hosted desktop solutions free your business staff to focus on their priorities, whether in the office or on the go. And hosted desktop solutions free your IT staff to keep your overall business IT running smoothly. No more up-front investment in perpetual software licenses. No expense to upgrade to the latest release. You no longer need a person going around upgrading the software and interrupting people at work – and there are no surprises with the upgrades working or not.
