Professional services and IT: Why opt for a hosted desktop?
7th June 2021
Professional services are crucial to the business world and play a huge role across all industries. From accountants to lawyers, architects, engineers and more, companies that offer specialised professional knowledge to clients are something we could not do without. Running a business in the professional services sector though can be a challenge at times and see fierce competition for clients. It can also come laden with complex rules and regulations to follow. Making the right choice in terms of your IT setup can help take some of this stress away. For many, this means opting for a hosted desktop. But what benefits can this bring to professional service companies?
Top-line security
More so than ever, businesses in this line of work must hit the right standards around data protection. Data breaches cannot only prove costly but also bad for your reputation. Hosted desktop services are a good choice because they give total peace of mind that all data is kept secure. The security features (such as high-end firewalls) they contain means they are very safe to use. In addition, regular back-ups mean that disaster recovery is also assured.
Lightning quick online connectivity
As we have already noted, businesses in this industry usually have plenty of competition for clients. This means that fast online connectivity and reliable access to systems is vital. A hosted desktop is a great choice here because it comes with super-quick connectivity - wherever you may be working from. This is not only great for making office staff more productive but also for those in the field or remote workers.
Reduction in overheads
Some professional service companies ask why they should use a hosted desktop service in the Cloud when they could have their own IT hardware in-house? The simple answer is cost. Moving to a hosted desktop approach means you spend less on IT systems, less on hardware and less on maintenance. This reduction in overheads then gives you spare capital to put back into the business or save for quieter times when work drops off.
