When you’re running a small to medium business, you want to focus on the activities that bring in sales and deliver the work.
You don’t want to lose orders or miss out on business with your website if it crashes.
You don’t want to be clicking on too many tabs or browsers, copying and pasting details into different spreadsheets.
You don’t want to waste your time trying to fix problems because someone has lost that important piece of paper or sent an email that hasn’t been read.
And you don’t want to waste time because the team can’t access important information when they’re working from home.
You want:
But you’re not sure where to start.
Hosting relates to where your website lives on the internet. Different providers offer varying levels of service, storage, stability protection and scalability.
Choosing the right hosting solution is critical when you’re considering the scalability and revenue potential of your business.
A slow and unresponsive website will cost you business.
And as your business grows, you don’t want the added cost and inconvenience of repeatedly migrating to new servers.
It’s not like the old days where you had to invest thousands in an oversized server as a capital expense, which you’d grow into.
With cloud-based hosting, it’s a monthly cost and you pay for as much as you need.
We take your expected monthly traffic, the location of your customers with how much data you hold and more into account and architect the best cloud hosting solution for you.
It’s scalable, so as your business grows we can simply and easily increase your server capacity.
You don’t need to worry about over-spending or security and compliance issues.
CloudCheckr (included in your service) keeps track of your costs and continuously ensures your website stays safe while meeting compliance requirements.
If your current hosting solution is no longer fit for purpose, we can advise you on your options and help you to migrate your data and processes to the cloud.
The pandemic showed us all the importance of flexible working.
Cloud-based software development and systems enable you to stay agile – whether this means working from home (or anywhere!) or scaling up and down your workforce depending on business demands. Monthly subscription fees mean that you pay for your current number of employees.
You don’t have to keep inputting the same data or information across multiple apps or software.
There are easier ways.
You could input the data once and it will automatically update across your systems. The risk of duplicating data or making mistakes is drastically reduced. AND you could see all your important information in one central place at your fingertips.
We write APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), software which enables your separate systems to “speak” to each other and share data.
If you use Xero or FreeAgent as your accountancy software or Hubspot for CRM management, Google Workspace or any other SaaS provider (Software as a Service), we can advise you on ways to streamline your processes.
The time and cost savings could be significant, allowing you to focus on more important activity for your SME.
If your business has unique ways of working and the off-the-shelf applications don’t fit the bill/suit your working style, we can develop a bespoke web app or software to meet your SME’s needs.
We’ve developed a huge range of bespoke software from a sales, stock and distribution management tool for a meat wholesaler to an “emergency close” button for domestic abuse charity websites, for vulnerable women to feel safe whilst seeking help and advice.
Your challenges are what we thrive on… and being leading cloud providers means the potential solutions are limitless.
When you’re an SME, you want to keep your business lean and costs to a minimum.
Full time IT/technical managers are expensive – do you really need one?
But there will be times when you need access to technical support.
We have three levels of support, depending on your business needs.
Let us take care of your software and provide IT system support, so you can focus on what you do best.
