Software On-Demand

Office Productivity Suite including Microsoft Office, e-mail and Unified Communications

PC's and laptops are the lifeblood of many businesses. They provide the most simple, yet fundamental tools required to operate a business from creating documents and delivering customer presentations to emailing colleagues and collaborating with peers.

In most cases, business buy software licences outright, then spend considerable time and effort installing, upgrading, patching and maintaining the software on these PC’s and Laptops. All too often, PC's and Laptops run very poorly within 3-6 months of acquisition because they are poorly maintained. The cost of running and maintaining a PC and Laptop is many times more than the cost of initial acquisition and becomes a continuous drain on resources.

When new software is released, the cost to upgrade that software is significant and often requires new hardware, putting a further drain on already tight cash flows. Most businesses have PC's and Laptops running different versions of software, some of which are out of date and unsupported by the manufacturer and many are incompatible with each other - reducing efficiency, productivity and causing frustration.

Few businesses truly understand the financial and operational impact of losing a Laptop or having a PC fail due to a software malfunction or virus. Often, data is stored locally on PC’s and Laptops and not backed-up to an appropriate storage facility. Unfortunately, very few businesses implement robust, tried and tested, Disaster Recovery Plans. It's a sobering thought that Gartner research shows that only 35% of small & medium business have a comprehensive Disaster Recovery plan and only 6% survive after a major data loss!
