New to the cloud
Entrusting your IT services to the Cloud frees up your resources to concentrate on what you do best – growing your business. And it couldn’t be simpler.
 

Golden Cloud

With Cloud computing, providers like Intercept can provide centralised IT services to a variety of customers.

Shared resources provide great economies of scale, which means you benefit from richer, more secure and better performing IT systems than you could afford to implement and manage yourself.

If yours is a small or medium sized business, outsourcing hosted online services enables you to concentrate on your core business. You can leave IT to the experts.

If you are part of a larger enterprise or government body, Cloud computing frees your internal IT teams to concentrate on strategic projects rather than service provision and support.

To have your IT services delivered via Intercept’s Cloud, for example, you simply provide us with access to your software and business data and we transfer it to our data centres. This would include your email, standard business applications like Microsoft Office and any line of business specific applications, like your CRM or accountancy software.

We then give you access to the Cloud, which can be via fixed lines, such as ADSL and SDSL, or even Internet links.

You can then work the way you want, accessing your applications and data from literally anywhere – the office, home, or at Starbucks having your morning coffee! And with 3G mobile cards becoming so cost-effective, you can connect with a range of mobile devices anywhere there is network availability.

The great thing about online services is that you do not need to have applications and data running on your device – so there are no worries about viruses, junk email, programmes crashing and running slowly, having to install updates for Windows® and Microsoft products, installing new programmes... and so on.

There is no maintenance involved, you just logon and get on with your work, without interruptions.
