Cloud Services Save Your Business Money

When outsourcing your IT services, your options do not simply include management of computer systems and networks. Leading IT outsourcing companies also offer cloud services, including a hosted exchange and online backup. Outsourcing these two essential managed services will provide you both peace of mind and significant cost savings.
According to Frontpoint co-owner Dan Stanford, one of the major benefits of a hosted exchange are the savings since a company operating its own exchange will have to invest $5,000 to $10,000 up front to set it up. An Osterman Research, Inc. white paper published in January 2010 stated that an exchange with 10, 100, and 1,000 users would save 92 percent, 64 percent and 55 percent, respectively, by using a hosted exchange instead of operating their own. Those incredible cost savings speak for themselves.
Why fork out money you do not have to when you can take advantage of the expertise of an IT outsourcing company like Frontpoint managing your hosted exchange? In addition to obvious cost savings, utilizing a hosted exchange as part of your managed IT services package with Frontpoint will also save your company time. With a hosted exchange, your employees will be able to spend time doing projects that add more value to your company, increasing your bottom line instead of your worry.
“I expect hosted exchange services to be big as old servers die,” Stanford said.
It would be best, however, to act before your servers ‘die.’ Call Frontpoint today to see how much we can save you by taking advantage of our hosted exchange, a co-op method of hosting your email so you do not have to pay exorbitant up-front costs and do not have to worry if issues arise.
Besides hosted email exchange, one of the other cloud services Frontpoint offers is online backup.
With Frontpoint’s online backup, you will have “a complete perfect photo copy of your computer,” Stanford said. “If your machine dies, you can reload everything, not just pictures and files.”
Our online backup will take the fear out of hard drive and network crashes, knowing you can replace everything if the worst happens. Even if you accidentally lose one single file or one single picture, we have you covered.
