Simplicity, security, and economy


The software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach gives you the same functionality as our traditional software without the cost and time investments of overseeing your server infrastructure. When necessary, we will update your software, maintain your server hardware and ensure that your data is securely stored and backed up, leaving you free to focus on running your business.

What is a cloud solution?


Need a quick definition of cloud computing? Cloud computing is the delivery of hosted services over the internet rather than hosting them in-house (your own premises). If you’re wondering about the benefits of using cloud computing software, here are the basics. Cloud computing:

Removes the costs and risks of managing in-house servers

Unlike on-premise solutions, there are no big up-front capital costs. Instead, users typically pay by the month or user and only pay for the resources they require as a business. Cloud computing reduces capital outlay with predictable operational costs.

Ensures a secure, resilient environment for critical systems

With cloud computing software, you don’t have to create back-ups or deal with computer breakdowns. Your team can save files automatically to the cloud, and employees can use their personal computers and handheld devices to gain access to securely stored data.

Provides user access from any of your locations, 24/7

The cloud is ubiquitous, so connecting to your remote cloud-based systems is straightforward.

Scalable from 5 to 10,000 users to suit your business

Over time, your computing capabilities need to increase and decrease for various reasons. Depending on your requirements, you can scale up and down with the cloud.

It makes it easier to comply with government regulations

As a business, there are many rules and regulations that you must adhere to (like data protection, for example.) When running IT systems yourself, the responsibility lies with you to comply. Still, with cloud computing, service providers will likely have teams to manage this for you.

It allows you to focus on running your business

Monitoring your IT systems on-site is both time-consuming and expensive when you have a business to run. A cloud service provider takes this inconvenience away from you and is on hand to offer practical and useful advice to keep your IT infrastructure working as efficiently as it can.
