Benefit and Value
Free Up Working Capital
VCIT AppBlast is less expensive than doing things yourself because you avoid all of the cyclical capital and operating costs of planning, deploying, and maintaining a server infrastructure. Typically, small business server and network infrastructure either starts to fail or becomes obsolete within 3 to 5 years and it rapidly depreciates in value too. Invest your precious capital into revenue generating projects instead!
Reduce Maintenance Costs
In a typical office, each workstation has to be provisioned with all required applications and then personalized for the end user(s). This results in critical data and documents ending up on individual workstations that aren’t designed for reliability and are seldom properly backed up.
Also, each time you hire a new staff member, replace a computer, or replace a hard drive, all that work has to be repeated. VCIT AppBlast avoids all that headache by centralizing everything, for all staff, in one place, where our IT experts manage it all for you!
Reduce Complexity
VCIT AppBlast transforms a typical workstation in your office into a generic access appliance. Because all applications, documents, email, and other resources are centrally located in the VCIT data center, there’s almost nothing to maintain on the workstations. Also, workstations are completely interchangeable so staff can work from any workstation. True utility computing!
If an individual workstation fails, the user of that workstation can quickly move over to any workstation and pickup exactly where they left off with no downtime. Off the shelf computers can also be quickly deployed to replace failed workstations.
Mobilize Your Workforce
VCIT AppBlast will immediately fatten your bottom line by increasing productivity, decreasing downtime, and reducing unnecessary commutes. That’s because all of your applications, documents, email, and other electronic resources will follow your staff wherever they go, 24 X 7.
Mitigate Disaster Risk
With VCIT AppBlast, the impact to your business of theft, fire, flood, and other natural disasters is greatly reduced since all of your applications, documents, email, and other data are centrally located in an enterprise class data center with proper air conditioning systems, fire suppression systems, redundant systems throughout, and 24X7 security (both cameras and security guards).
Should a local disaster impact your place of business, your critical corporate data will still be intact and your staff will be able to get back up and running using any off the shelf computer.
What’s Included?
Your staff will still be able to use all of their existing applications, documents, email, and other resources, yet they will be able to securely access them from anywhere, using virtually any web-connected device.
Each AppBlast subscriber (employee) has access to the Microsoft Office Professional Plus suite of applications, a hosted Microsoft Exchange mailbox, personal storage (2 GB), shared storage (5 GB for company), and unlimited help desk support!
Other standard applications include Internet Explorer with Flash, Adobe Acrobat Reader, PDF Creator, and built-in applications like Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Notepad, and Microsoft Wordpad. Other applications are available on request.
