IT that grows with you

Small businesses and startups know that capital is hard to come buy, which is why many companies just get by with IT that doesn’t really meet their needs. Traditionally, to get all the big company functionality you’d like (such as Microsoft Exchange with Blackberry, high availability or regular backups), companies have had to invest a significant amount of working capital into server hardware. The AWIC Desktop service changes all that. With no hardware costs and no expensive software licenses to purchase, small businesses can use the service from Day 1, and have a fully-functioning Enterprise IT infrastructure. And because it’s so easy to add new users, the service can grow with your company, for when you move into that 1,000-employee Central London HQ that we all know you’ll be in soon.

Small businesses still use traditional IT infrastructure: a local network of desktop PCs, attached to local storage, and generally maintained by on-site support. This means issues with reliability, support, ties into maintenance contracts and insurance.

4 reasons why thin clients make sense

by Amanda Dahl, Director at AWIC

Over the past 18 months, IT budgets have shrunk dramatically, meaning that most companies have shelved the idea of replacing old kit. But as the economy starts to pick up, many companies are opening up to the idea that now is a good time for a hardware refresh.

The average lifetime of a pc is 3 years.  How old are your company’s computers? Are they ready for the scrap heap?
