Benefits

No Capital Expenditure

A company’s Internal IT requirements can be frustratingly expensive, often with the need for significant IT capital expenditure which can include: PC’s, Laptops, servers and backup hardware, application software, security products, implementation services, consultancy services and of course the unknown and ongoing revenue costs associated with support. With ActiveOffice this financial model is reduced to a simple and predictable fixed cost per month, freeing up your valuable capital to be invested in growing your business and protecting you from any of those unknown IT bombshell moments.

Maximise your Current IT Investment

Running the latest Operating Systems and software can often cause older PC’s and laptops to run at a frustratingly slow speed, often giving the users an exceptionally poor experience and forcing your company to invest further in the latest PC’s and laptops just to maintain the status quo. With ActiveOffice, the majority of the processing is done at the heart of our high performance service datacenter rather than on a client device. As a result, legacy PC’s that would have traditionally been replaced can be retained, whilst also being able to run the very latest applications and operating systems with exceptional performance.

Reduce your Operational IT Complexity

For many companies, IT is merely a necessary burden. Even with an experienced IT department, most of the resource and the money invested into IT is simply there to maintain the status quo or simply “keep the lights on”. In addition to this, IT projects are often time consuming exercises which regularly run over budget. ActiveOffice provides companies an affordable and less complex alternative by allowing a company to effectively outsource significant proportions of its IT estate which are then delivered by ActiveOffice as a consumable service. This reduction in complexity allows your internal IT function to concentrate on the delivery of your business critical applications, whilst also releasing management’s time to concentrate on growing the business and not managing IT.

Business Continuity with Data Security

Business continuity or disaster recovery from a situation where a company loses significant data either through: theft, fire, flood, natural disaster or malicious acts of destruction, is a huge issue today, as many companies entire existence depends on its IT and more specifically the data. Any company relying on tape backup or any other outdated backup method are taking a huge business gamble. If disaster strikes your business, lost data can end up costing you much more than just money and time, with 80% of companies that experience a significant data loss go out of business within a year. ActiveOffice, provide an enterprise grade data security and continuity solution with all your company’s data centralised securely, 30 feet below ground in a blast proof, ex-MOD nuclear bunker, protected with enterprise grade firewalls, market leading antivirus and hosted on resilient clustered platforms.

Access to your Company Data Anywhere

This instantly provides organisations with the competitive advantage to react to any situation, as genuine access to your business is always only ever a few clicks away.

Improve your IT Scalability and Flexibility

Most traditional IT systems have a performance ceiling limit, meaning that the investment you have made in your IT infrastructure will need to be reassessed and increased as your workforce grows. For a company focused on growth, this becomes a ticking time bomb, as just at the point you need to grow more, your IT starts to hold you back. ActiveOffice provide customer with ultimate scalability and flexibility, as our service provides your IT as an ISP grade application services platform often out of the reach of many smaller to medium sized companies. With ActiveOffice, service scalability not only applies as your workforce grows, but as your company adds additional offices anywhere in the world, delivering you a service solution that grows seamlessly as your business expands.

Expert Application and Data Recovery Support

Even if you have an experienced IT department, it’s impossible for them to be experts in every area of IT. For example, you may have a member of IT who is excellent with networking, but has poor knowledge of administrating and maintaining corporate Microsoft applications. Internal IT support is often patchy by nature. ActiveOffice provided expert enterprise class support for all aspects of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft office, SharePoint, data back-up and data recovery. Our engineers are all Microsoft certified and trained, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to be able to assist you with all your application and data recovery service queries no matter how small.

Sometimes it feels like it is difficult to control your workforce’s access to data, what level of permissions they have and what software they install. It is not uncommon for many employees to use non-licensed software on a company computer, which can expose management and Directors to fines or prosecution. With ActiveOffice, you can regain complete control of your entire IT environment and therefore your workforce. You can restrict user access to different areas of data, the software they use and even their internet usage with the use of our easy to use Internet usage policy controls.

Control is about focus and through focus you can deliver increased productivity and business data security. With ActiveOffice, you are in control.

Green Applications

Business considerations such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return on Investment (ROI) have been forever altered by those additional considerations related to energy consumption and carbon footprint.

Additionally, the service reduces obsolete hardware to decommission and there is no need for your company to arrange for appropriate recycling or disposal of such equipment.
