The main advantages of hosting are:
Conserve Capital
Hosted services enable small and mid size companies to have access to an IT infrastructure that they normally perhaps couldn’t afford. Hardware, bandwidth and Networking are additional hidden costs.
Our Hosted services let you use high calibre hardware and software that is usually out of the price reach of smaller companies. There is no need to purchase an expensive server and server software. You can use your existing hardware as work stations and your existing internet connections.
Reduce IT Costs
Hardware, server software and networking are becoming more complex and expensive. As a company grows to a certain point, its IT infrastructure costs will soar.
We are responsible for back ups, service packs and upgrades so eliminating the need for an in-house IT employee.
Flexibility
If you want to rapidly grow your business, particularly in response to market demand, this often means new or more hardware, more expensive Internet connections and new IT personnel. Apart from the cost factor, it will take time.
With SIMMS Hosted all you have to do is increase your user count. You can add new users instantly.
Security
Systems need to be updated and require regular maintenance. When this isn’t done then security becomes collateral damage. Security software is also often expensive.
Citrix is expensive, costly to implement and cost-prohibitive for most companies. It is also the best on the market and the one we choose to use. We use Citrix for several reasons. The main one is security. As soon as a User connects into our servers they can be sure they are on a secure connection.
Versatility
With Citrix, our hosted service can be accessed by MAC computers, even though SIMMS runs on Windows. Also, Citrix maximizes bandwidth and provides a more stable connection.
