So here you are lots of desks lots of people, you have grown your business well. You just wish that IT hadn’t become such a hassle. Every time one of the PC’s goes wrong you either have to call out the local IT firm and pay through the nose or you have to get through the hassle of trying to fix it yourself.

That’s not helping grow your business is it?

Many people now use Thin Clients instead and you can too. Thin Client means having a small bare bones network computer on each desk, they often look a bit like this (2 monitors may be a bit excessive here!)

What these devices are designed to do is to connect each desktop to a central server. All the programs and all the software then live on the central server and each user simply connects to and shares this server.

Should one of these devices go wrong - unplug it and plug in in a spare and you are good to go.. no it involvement at all really.
Want to work at someone elses desk or even at a different depot? No problem again - as your desktop and programs live on the server now you can connect to them from any Thin client device anywhere on the network.

Upgrade time or patch time for your software? Its all done on the central server so its easy!

If you like you can host the server yourself or you could do what many people do and buy managed server space in a data centre somewhere and connect your thin client devices to it via the internet. You pay them to keep it up and running and fix it if it breaks.

If you have an expanding business this is really ideal as to get a new depot or branch live all you need is a few pre configured thin client devices and a broadband connection - they plug them in and they are live!

From 50 pc’s to just 1
50 times less hassle (In fact as users cant mess with the programs now you’ll get even less hassle than that!)
Suddenly IT is helping you grow your business not stopping you
