With IT always evolving and developing,
keeping up to date with the latest technology can be a
minefield.
At Wolverhampton based ags accountants
and financial advisors, the introduction of an outsourcing
system has been so beneficial that they have been advising
clients of the advantages the system brings.
Steve Aston, partner at ags explains:
"IT can be a complicated and time consuming part
of business. We found that outsourcing improves not only
efficiency, but it can eliminate the need for employees
to spend time administering the system, freeing them up
to generate more revenue.
"Employing an application service
provider (ASP) elevated the worry from IT and allowed
attention to be focused on other matters".
Becoming part of the ASP network allows
ags to access files and information from any office, customer
site or location in the whole world via any PC, laptop
or PDA (palm computer). Physically secure, with information
stored in a central location, under 24-hour protection
and electronically safe with the best firewall and virus
detection systems updated on an hourly basis in place,
theft of data no longer needs to be a worry.
With such valuable benefits ags believed
that others clients should be informed of such a solution
as Steve comments: "After installing the system we
began to reap the rewards, access to the server is very
fast and we are able to introduce multi-sites with no
effect on the connection speed. As a business tool the
system has been revolutionary, so much so that we recommended
it highly to our clients."
Having been adopted by several clients,
relevant information is now accessible at anytime by ags
or clients.
With a fast connection and the highest
level of electronic and physical security available, the
system has altered working patterns as Steve concludes:
"We have seen the impact the system has had not only
at ags but on our clients. It has helped improve efficiency
and productivity, while taking away the day-to-day hassle
of having to manage an internal IT infrastructure."
