With ever changing hardware specifications and regular upgrades to software, providing a variety of additional functionality, but at a cost, more and more businesses are struggling to keep abreast of the changes in the Information Technology arena. Businesses are constantly looking for ways to maximise their return on investment, whilst coming under increasing pressure to regularly upgrade their IT infrastructure, to keep up to date with the latest developments in software and hardware technologies.

There are also other costs associated with maintaining IT systems in-house. For example, insurance on expensive server and networking equipment, preparation for disaster recovery scenarios as well as ongoing hardware maintenance support contracts to ensure that if your server equipment fails, it can be replaced. Of course, if systems get stolen, there is a fire or the hardware fails, then this in turn leads to system downtime, software reloads and data recovery exercises, all of which detract from the efficient running of the business and costs money.

The Hosted Services solution provided by Mountain Software aims to remove these concerns by providing businesses with complete peace of mind through the provision of hosted solutions.
