Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted IT applications over the internet.  Sold as a service the customer has and pays for as little or as much as they need.  With better systems being delivered faster and cheaper is it time you considered the cloud?

What are the benefits?

• Reduced Costs
  Paid for incrementally and scaled to your requirements. Lower set-up costs.
• Increased Storage
  The right amount of storage is allocated to you. And can be increased at any time.
• Secure
  The latest technology is in place to ensure all your security requirements can be met.
• Stay Current
  Software upgrades are done remotely at times that suit you
• Mobility
  Work from anywhere in the world over the internet

Tricostar were one of the first company's to offer hosted applications to government departments.  All our customers soon realised the benefits of this new way of working and continue to enjoy reliable systems that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.  System upgrades take place remotely and even training can be delivered over the internet.  Reducing the carbon footprint and working around your schedule.
