- Turnkey Solution.

If you’re sick and tired of having onsite IT staff disrupting your business because your IT systems are not performing as they should, then a turn key, Desktop As A Service (DAAS) may be a good option for you.  It essentially means you treat your PCs like telephones.  It breaks, then swap it out- simple.

How Does It Work?

No matter what anyone tells you.  IT is a numbers game.  The more things you have at your end, the more chance you have of things going wrong. You need to maintain and upgrade everything to make sure it keeps up with the latest technology.  It costs money!

In our solution, we do all that for you and remove most of your IT equipment except a screen, keyboard, printers and a fast modem (ADSL2 or Cable).  We rarely need to go out onsite.  We put your entire IT environment, software and all, at our place. All for a low monthly cost per user *.

Benefits:

1. Your technology is always up to date and you use the latest software all of the time.
2. No data or backup worries anymore.  Throw away all of your time consuming backups and tapes – we store and protect it all for you.
3. Access your office environment from home or anywhere in the world without a laptop.

What is included (you can have an all-you-can-eat option or cherry pick):

1. Software (except specific business software but we can manage that for you if you want) – Open Source, Windows or both – Your choice.
2. Hardware, for less than $10 per month we will replace all your old equipment with energy efficient devices with high resolution screens.
3. Phone and online support (2 hr, same day or next day response.)
4. Full backup and failover so you are always online.
5. Options to improve the reliability of your network.
6. No onsite repairs.  If it can’t be fixed over the phone, we replace it.

How Much?

1. Starts from as little as $59.00 ex GST per user, per month (min. 2 year contract / 10 users per company) + network costs and initial installation and configuration.
2. Option to pay up front.

 

- Hybrid Solution.

In this offering, you have the choice of operating the supporting infrastructure for the Mastermind Desktop at your site.  It’s still good, but if you have already made significant investments in your local infrastructure it may be still a viable option.  We can assess that for you if you’re unsure.

How Does It Work?

We basically run our Turnkey solution at your place but you provide the business software you need to run your business.  Your PCs will still be easier to support and maintain, it just means that you need the space and environment to ensure the infrastructure remains online.

We can still provide a fully managed service if you like, it will be cheaper and if you change your mind, you can opt in to our Turnkey Solution.

Benefits:

1. Centralised support for PCs.  No more installing software or rebuilding desktops.  They act as a dumb terminal so you can replace them if you want.
2. Access your office environment from home or anywhere in the world without a laptop
3. Leverage your existing infrastructure investment if you have recently upgraded (within the last two years)

What is included? (you can have an all-you-can-eat option or cherry pick):
