VoIP
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the future for business telephone systems and offers the opportunity to work smarter, faster and from anywhere. It has the advantage of being lower cost and can be connected anywhere with an internet connection.
VoIP
VoIP is the technology behind the ability to call people over the internet rather than using a traditional phone line. The functionality of VoIP technology offers many of the same features as a landline or mobile phone system, including: voicemail, conference call facilities, call waiting/hunting, call parking, directed call pickup, ACD queues, and rich call detail reporting. Benefits include:
VoIP technology can be linked to existing IT systems such as email based voicemail, Outlook contacts, and your CRM system.
VoIP is perfect for supporting mobile workforces or employees spread over a wide geographical area. You can integrate remote, home, or mobile users into your existing communication system easily.
VoIP is a cost effective solution for your business. We save our customers an average of 50% of their previous call and line rental costs.
Take your telephony to the next generation and future proof your business.
Hosting
No business can operate without the help of technology and all the many forms that it takes. For many businesses, however, this is not their area of interest or expertise – let us take care of things, so you can get on with running your business.
Hosting
Rather than purchasing and operating a local server, we can host your computing needs using a cloud solution: delivering cost efficiencies, convenience, and unbeatable security. We can offer both dedicated and shared hosting, or a hybrid option - together we can explore which is the best choice for you.
Dedicated hosting
This is mostly used by businesses with large server deployments and large numbers of employees with significant amounts of data and traffic.
With our fully managed, dedicated, hosting service, our skilled engineers will manage your hosted server requirements, dedicated to your business, via an appropriately selected internet resource. Your business will have complete control over your dedicated hosted server/s, so that it can be optimised for your absolute unique requirements, including performance analysis and high-level security. Our dedicated server deployments are for your business and your business alone, so there are no limitations on the amount of space, bandwidth or resource, which can be flexed on demand.
We supply not only the server and environment but also the associated services and technical support, providing an unparalleled comprehensive care for all your dedicated hosting needs.
Shared hosting
This is a popular option for small to medium sized businesses that need an effective and affordable solution.
With our fully managed, shared, hosting service we manage your computing needs via a server (or servers) shared with other clients. Each client still retains exclusive access to their own files and information, all of which is kept confidential and secure. The server is accessed via the internet and is an economical option which still provides for all your IT needs and all the associated services and technical support that you may require.
Hybrid Hosting
If you are looking to add Cloud into your business operations but would like, or need, to maintain a local server presence, then our Hybrid Cloud Hosting solutions could be right for your business.
Disaster Recovery & Back-Up
When the worst happens our Disaster Recovery and Backup Services can restore operations swiftly, limiting damage and recovering data as far as possible. We know that any down-time can damage your business, so we endeavour to get you up and running again … quickly!
Disaster Recovery & Back-Up
It is an inevitable truth that, at some point, all organisations will experience a form of IT failure or cyber-attack. It is the planning and preparation for this eventuality that will determine how resilient a business is and how quickly it will recover from such a situation.
We assist clients to identify and prepare for any vulnerabilities, putting in place arrangements that will not only reduce the likelihood of a disaster but will also facilitate the restoration of IT systems, if and when required.
We use Microsoft Azure Private cloud environment as a hosting platform providing secure, fast, monitored, continuous backup to store and protect your data. When needed, this can be quickly accessed to recover and restore your data in the event of a problem, enabling us to establish access and functionality to your IT infrastructure swiftly.
Recovery solutions can be provided in a number of different ways tailored to suit your business e.g. mirroring your on-premise IT systems into the cloud, or even duplicating your existing cloud infrastructure.
We ensure that our clients are always protected by fully managed, monitored and tested solutions.
Network Resilience
Building resilience into your IT network is about disaster prevention. However, no one is totally immune and so, when disaster does strike, a robust network and recovery plan will help to reduce the pain and get you back up and running, quickly.
Network Resilience
IT and communication networks are now so critical to the smooth operation of a business that any failure can cause not only major inconvenience but also financial and reputational loss.
Thankfully, large scale disasters such as fire and flood are very rare but cyber-attacks are now so common that over 50% of all UK businesses suffered a Cyber Security attack in 2021. This is predicted to continue to increase. Even a seemingly small issue, such as a simple misconfiguration, or an IT incompatibility, can significantly affect everyday operations. As a result, businesses are focusing their attention more accurately on improving network and computing resilience.
This means having a computing infrastructure that provides continuous business operation (i.e. highly resistant to disruption and able to operate in a degraded mode if damaged), rapid recovery if failure does occur, and the ability to scale to meet rapid or unpredictable demands.
We work with clients to ensure they have robust systems in place: ensuring a strong and secure network; reducing the dependency on hardware; and utilising the cloud for safe and secure off-site storage and function.
We believe that IT systems should be the solution, not the problem!
