Managed Hosting

According to the Gartner IT Research Group, with a Managed Hosting solutions you could save up to 32% on your web presence and related application costs while ensuring 24x7 availability and uptime for your business critical communications.

Gartner expects outsourcing to become the preferred sourcing choice for hosting. "Hosting services offer more efficiencies, reliability and range of services when compared to in-house hosting for all but the minority of enterprises, those with complex integration or innovative applications. Therefore, the majority of enterprises should outsource their external web presence through these types of services."

The benefits of a managed hosting solution include:

• Security and reliability
• Network resilience
• Technological expertise
• Free up IT resources to focus on your core business
• 24x7 support
• Improved performance, scalability & flexibility
• Resilience and contingency
• Single contract - one responsible party to resolve any queries
• Quicker time to market - reduced implementation timescales
