Why do you "NEED" WorkPlace for your business?

Virsage WorkPlace provides your company with a competitive advantage by saving your business both time and money.

There are three needs that WorkPlace fulfills.

•  Agility – Businesses must be able to react to change quickly.  Whether it is onboard/offboarding new employees, rolling out new software packages, or allowing workers to access their information from wherever they are – traditional IT is slower and more expensive than WorkPlace.
• Business Security – Companies today rely on data.  Any interruption in either connection, hardware or software costs money.  WorkPlace provides enterprise grade data and system access that was not previously cost effective.
• Productivity – Like it or not, employees are changing how they want to work.  Studies show that companies who embrace this change show an increase in overall employee productivity, lower overall wages as employees prefer flexible work environments over higher salarys

During the PC revolution era, companies strived to quickly integrate technology with their business to make their companies faster and more efficient, but over the last few years the constant cycle of buying new hardware and software every few years has left companies with upgrade fatigue. Historically, being on the cutting edge can be expensive, error prone, and time consuming. WorkPlace is a smarter way to upgrade your current technology, stay with the applications your staff has already learned how to use, and gain new features that enable to you work more productively and cooperatively than before.

WorkPlace saves your business time by ensuring your staff has access to all of the needed business applications, files, and emails from any device: PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone. Most people have some sort of remote access currently, but usually along with a decreased experience or lack of features. WorkPlace enables you to be just as productive on the road as you are in the office. By having your team all on the same versions of software, and by having shared storage available quickly from anywhere, your team will spend far less time emailing documents back and forth and more time collaborating in real time. WorkPlace enables you to extend specific files quickly to customers and business partners as well outside of the WorkPlace system to make projects with external parties far easier to manage.

WorkPlace saves your company money by keeping you out of the cycle of PC obsolescence. You’ll never have to buy another server, or pay for a new “Microsoft tax” every 3 years for Windows and Office software.  These programs and the software licensing are included in your WorkPlace subscription. This ensures you always get the latest versions without having to make large capital expenditures. Because WorkPlace is a desktop as a service and support is included, you get immediate access to platform upgrades without having to manage traditional IT upgrades and headaches. New features, functionality, and increased system robustness are coming online all of the time, and are done behind the scenes without disruption to your business. WorkPlace enables your business to take legacy (older) programs and servers and bring them into the cloud era. This means you can get more life out of the software that you have already purchased and add features to programs.

For instance, "WorkPlace has enabled companies to take applications like POS systems, accounting platforms, electronic medical records, and sales tools and made them available on smart phones and iPads."

WorkPlace is a better way to manage your IT expenses. Why pay for more software, storage, or hardware than is really needed? With WorkPlace, you pay for what you really use and your pricing scales with your business. The pricing is predictable and consistent, and there are no long term contracts. The technology included with WorkPlace are systems we recommend for all companies, but few can afford to purchase and manage these systems in the traditional fashion. WorkPlace provides your business with industry leading infrastructure in an affordable format: Multiple data centers, redundant servers, high availability failover infrastructure, network attached storage, offsite replications and backups, web filtering, email filtering, spyware protection, antivirus, redundant Cisco firewalls, Microsoft Exchange email, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, remote access, cross-platform support, professional network management and technical support.
