February 18, 2008 - Electronic Workplace has introduced a new Managed IT service aimed exclusively at SMEs. Designed to make IT less costly and more flexible, the service includes the provision of software and hardware at a fixed monthly price as well as providing a full 24 x 7 support operation for servers and Desktops and Laptops with no additional call out charges.
Using the company’s secure data centres, the service is a fully hosted operation that includes the provision of Web Site and intranet hosting. Additional services such as Anti Spam and Anti Virus are included in the cost of the package which has a cost to the customer from as little as two pounds(£2) per month per user.
Hany Mustapha, CEO, commented “It’s an exciting time to be launching this service. With the economy going into an uncertain phase, the SME has a difficult choice. Stick with the old IT systems that are getting out dated and increasing inefficient, or move to more expensive new hardware and software to fully leverage the additional functionality and capabilities of the modern application set. By introducing a service where we provide the hardware and most of the software that a SME is going to need for a fixed and predictable price that can still flex with their requirements, we take a lot of the risk and the capital expense out of the equation. This is specifically aimed at MD’s and FD’s who realise that they need to cut costs but are faced with an environment where their IT is an essential, but expensive part of their operation. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for example will require many SMEs to buy new hardware.
“By offering the hardware as a part of our package we have taken this barrier away. Through hosting the servers in our own secure data centres we also eliminate the need for inefficient and expensive trips to site. The proactive monitoring that is normal nowadays, is given an added edge as we can correct problems really quickly – we’re already on site.”
“Another aspect of this offer that sets us apart from the rest of the field is the inclusion of critical software and added value services such as the included Web Hosting and Intranet capabilities. We’ve even put in the latest versions of MS Office and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.”
As an added incentive and a further layer of security, the IT Click service includes a validated Backup service.
“Many SMEs use tapes for their backups, if they back up at all. They are expensive, prone to failure, and are often forgotten about when it comes to testing and validation. How many times do SMEs suffer because their backup can’t be used to restore critical data?
We deal with this for them, another way of letting them focus on their core business rather than worry about their IT.”
“With a 100% customer satisfaction rating as measured by Microsoft, the IT Click service from Electronic Workplace offers what we believe are not a just great price, but also the very best technical expertise and know how.”
