Itex Hosted Desktop -Seeing through the Haze of Cloud Computing
There is still a lot of buzz about cloud computing as IT visionaries continue to predict its role in driving a paradigm shift in the way we utilise technology. Imagine reducing your capital expenditure on IT by up to 50 per centor releasing resources to focus on innovation for your business? Until recently, this has been a hazy concept, but now new products and services which leverage cloud computing are available.
Technology as a driver of success
IT is one of the biggest enablers of business success whether large or small. All too often, investment in IT is usually limited to just ‘keeping the lights on,’and not innovation to reduce costs, boost efficiencies, and maximise productivity. Taking advantage of cloud-based services can release resources to focus on developing added-value initiatives.Itex Hosted Desktop is an example of a number of cloud-based services available today.This technology is a secure reliable and cost effective desktop computing environment delivered from world class data centres. Itex Hosted Desktop is a fixed-fee monthly service that utilises Itex’s technology management platforms to provide everything users require of a desktop service and can accommodate clients with multiple offices and well as home based remote and mobile workers.
Hosted Desktop in Action
Ultimate Cleaning Services have been using Itex’s Hosted desktop solutions across their offices in the Isle of Man and Tenerife. Hosted desktop has allowed them to track what their staffs is doing, access their information no matter where they are in the world, send out sales proposals, issue invoices; giving them the flexibility needed working across multiple locations. Itex also provide a data backup solution and remote email meaning that they can access their emails and work information no matter what mobile device they are using. Rob Wakenshaw, Owner and Managing Director at Ultimate Cleaning Services says ‘I have to travel a lot between the Isle of Man and Tenerife so Hosted desktop offers our business the flexibility we need and allows me to work wherever I am.’
