Predictable Pain Free IT
One huge issue with computer needs within a company is the seeming randomness of IT expenses. It seems that no matter how companies try to budget and forecast IT expenses and capital, things continue to come up. ”We need a new Exchange environment – $30,000″, “Backups need to be expanded – $15,000″,”We’re running out of disk – $10 – $30,000″. It’s never ending…
There is a solution that gets you out of this mess. IVDesk. With IVDesk there’s a small start up fee per user and a monthly fee per user that covers everything related to running your applications, data, servers, and helpdesk. One price per user. You add users, it goes up, you remove users, it goes down. Predictable IT that covers all your application and IT needs.
So many companies continue to feel that running their own servers locally make the best sense. They feel that it’s more secure, they can control costs, if there’s an issue, it’s right there on site, … The truth is, in ours and others comparisons, it’s extremely expensive to create a viable IT solution locally. Usually the equipment is in a closet somewhere, near the sprinkler heads… Security and access to equipment is never as good as a data center… Applications go up and down each week and hardware expense continues to be an issue. Support, either internal or external, is high because the environment is fragile, not enough redundancy to withstand normal issues that occur. Problems, problems, problems…
With IVDesk you get IT predictability! We like to say Pain Free Computing. All your applications are run centrally and a virtual complete Windows desktop is provided. You have access to all your applications, data, and the same desktop from anywhere. One number to call 24 x 7 for support. Quick, easy, secure, and completely variable.

Private Clouds – Cloud Computing for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses
Is there a way to create “Private Clouds” for businesses to use without the dramatic costs of doing it yourself? What would describe a Private Cloud? Let’s see…
Private Cloud Computing is really an off-shoot of the Cloud Computing craze that allows companies to have and run their own complete environments. Normally, this is done by creating their own hosting solution within a Tier 3+ data center and managing it themselves. While this can provide an alternative solution for large companies, smaller and mid-sized organizations are left out in the cold.
At IVDesk we correct that situation. Companies get a complete environment hosted within a fantastic SunGard facility that allows them to have all their applications, data, and infrastructure hosted. It looks and feels like a large company corporate network with personal service attached. 24 x 7 helpdesk from “real” people based in the US who understand your issues and correct them immediately. No matter what applications you run, by choosing IVDesk, you’ll get all the benefits that larger companies are getting from Cloud Computing without the technical staff or costs. We run all your applications for you, provide a complete desktop that can be accessed everywhere, and remarkable service, all for a low monthly fee per user.
No capital costs, MS Office licensing included, technology refreshed constantly, and service that’s beyond compare. Our focus is making sure that your experience is extremely smooth. In fact, our helpdesk takes only 20% of the calls that a typical Managed Service provider takes! Now that’s smooth!
Take a look and move away from spending your capital and time on technology when you could be spending it on growing your business.
