Benefits to your business
There are many benefits to outsourcing your IT. You’ll be aware of some of them, but we have included a full checklist here.
A total package
We don’t just give you the minimum that we think is practical for your business. We give all our customers a very comprehensive bundle of services and products.
All the necessary hardware and software is included as a managed service – either hosted at our data centre or on your own premises.
We also include:
- Installation, deployment and training
- Fully integrated product suite (Email, mobile, archiving, CRM, SharePoint)
- Customer service support
- Daily incremental back up
- Weekly full back up
- Anti-virus/anti-spam software
- Disaster recovery
If it’s appropriate, we’ve got the capability to provide you with consultancy support too. If you need a bespoke solution, we can help you.
Cost of ownership
Operating an outsourced IT policy is very cost effective. It’s becoming more and more acceptable to businesses, given the quality and reliability of today’s software services.
Improved communications
Today, efficient communication is a business-critical issue. How you communicate within the business and with your clients is core to how your company functions. Remember life before the internet or e-mail? That’s how important these working tools have become.
Mobile e-mail has followed the same path. Now, you can contact your staff when they are out of the office. They can receive all their e-mails and other data too.
We know that other software, such as Microsoft’s latest version of their CRM and SharePoint software, add huge value to global collaboration. They represent a highly efficient way of contacting and sharing information with other staff, clients and suppliers. They are tried and tested products of the highest quality, and they are available now.
Companies that adopt these software services will gain business advantage over others that don’t. If you don’t believe us, take a look at some of our case studies.
Affordable Agreements
We offer a highly competitive set of Agreements that cover different services. They are not the cheapest on the market, but we are not in the business of offering basic services that cut corners to reduce costs. Your business is worth much more than that.
We think that our costs are highly affordable and cost effective. In addition, that they add real value to your business – increasing efficiency, peace of mind and flexibility.
Basically, our services are similar to buying a mobile phone. There’s an Agreement that details our service and your responsibilities and the period can be as short or as long as you wish. We will agree a monthly cost per user that reflects the service that you require.
There are no other hidden costs, such as set up costs, internet access, anti virus or anti spam software, software upgrades, or monthly maintenance.
We’re ready to discuss the options with you. There are a number that are designed to meet different business needs.
Please give us a call to discuss further.
Security
We’ve included this point, since so many of our customers have concerns about placing their business data with an external source. It’s a big step to take, and we understand that.
We operate to the highest standards of accreditation in terms of security, data archiving compliance and back up services. Our data centre is operated by NODE4, to the highest level of both physical and virtual security (tier 1). It has a back up generators and a UPS power supply.
