hosted desktops for accountants

Cash-flow

The Financial Services Sector encompasses a broad range of organisations including credit unions, banks, insurance companies, accountancy companies, consumer finance companies, stock brokerages, investment fund managers, financial advisors and some government sponsored enterprises.

Because hosted desktops are charged on a ‘pay per month per user’ basis, cash flow can be tightly managed. In this economic environment this is critical. Firms don’t have to make large capital expenditure on servers, upgrading desktop computer hardware.

Security

Hosted desktops take much of the security ‘pain’ away from financial services clients as the following benefits come as standard:

• Secure, encrypted internet connection
• Guaranteed data privacy and security
• Service Level Guarantees
• High availability servers and disk storage
• Centralised storage of data
• 24/7 monitoring
• Disaster recovery backup

Peace of Mind

When you bill clients by the hour as an accountant, investor or financial advisor, time really is money! Hosted desktops reduce many of the headaches often experienced in a small or medium sized firm – keeping hardware and software updated, carrying out backups and maintenance are all done by us, so there is no need to worry.

Flexible Working

For many organisations, flexible working is at the top of the list. Hosted desktops really do give people the ability to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether at home, at a client’s office, on the train or even abroad, you can keep connected to all the applications and files that you need.
