Why DesktopLive?

There are plenty more, but the main four reasons to switch to DesktopLive are:

  1. DesktopLive is quick to set up
    Managed Networks can have you set up the SAME DAY if you already have suitable PCs/laptops and a broadband connection. 
    We simply set up your account on our server network and re-direct your e-mails.
    No broadband? Then it's simply the lead time on connecting broadband.
     
  2. DesktopLive is easier to set up
    All you do is log into our servers and start work!
    You will immediately enjoy:
    • No maintenance worries! We take care of and upgrade the service platform, look after the thin-client machines, printers and broadband connection that we provide at your site.
    • If you are looking at installing a server or refreshing your server network, we provide the same functionality - without the hassle! We simply transfer your data to our servers instead of your new system.
    • Access to the latest software at no extra cost! As new versions of Windows, Office and Outlook become available, we will schedule an upgrade date that gives you plenty of warning and then install - without disruption.
    • Connect to DesktopLive from anywhere - from home, from a hotel, from clients. Any desktop or notebook that has a broadband connection will give you complete access to your personal desktop, emails and data.

      The service is ideal for geographically-distributed and virtual enterprises who want to have the benefits of file sharing and Microsoft Exchange functionality.
  3. DesktopLive is more resilient
    Your data is:
    • securely held on our servers
    • backed up by us to a remote location
    • protected from hackers, viruses and spam by the best hardware and software available

IIf you're a regulated business, our solution helps you meet your statutory obligations for security and business continuity, including enhanced security options, if necessary.
If you have working broadband, you're guaranteed access to the service.
We promise 99% availability and back this up with a money-back warranty.

  1. DesktopLive represents better value for money
    You have no capital costs, so you don't need to find thousands of pounds every three-to-four years to pay for new servers, licensing and desktops.
    Your monthly service fee is 100% tax-deductible and VAT-allowable.

Protection
