IT services for growing business who need flexibility and technology
Every day dozens of small and medium-sized businesses choose ThinkGrid and our partners to help support their IT infrastructure, solve tactical problems and enable growth, safe in the knowledge that we're focused on meeting their needs and can provide the experience, expertise and quality of service they require.
At the heart of our philosophy is being a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes, and our services are designed with the needs of those customers in mind. We provide all or part of an IT infrastructure that meets their requirements, but which is hosted, supported, managed and maintained by us. This gives our customers the freedom to concentrate on their own areas of expertise, while meeting the demands placed on their IT with agility, flexibility and state-of-the-art services.
For small and medium-sized businesses, ThinkGrid's model is expressly designed to utilize the economies of scale we enjoy to make truly enterprise-class IT available to all. Traditionally, an IT infrastructure that delivers genuine business continuity has been considered the preserve of large corporations. However, ThinkGrid's on-demand, subscription-based model means that a resilient, 99.99% available, 24/7 supported IT infrastructure can now be accessed by businesses of all sizes. Additionally, because our hosted model requires no capital expenditure and no in-house expertise, it can be applied to projects of any size, all at a moment’s notice.
Why not take a look at our services and the problems they solve, find a partner, or give us a call if you'd like to talk to one of our team in person.
Typical scenarios faced by small and medium-sized businesses
Reduce costs >
As a business looking to be competitive, you would probably like to reduce some of your overheads, and IT can be particularly expensive. ThinkGrid's services can typically offer you either a much lower cost than on-premise solutions, or even better value than other providers. Our engineers or partners will also help to migrate your services and move your data. Let ThinkGrid reduce your ongoing costs and ensure you don't need to invest in equipment like servers, PCs and phone systems.
Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP and Hosted Exchange
In-house IT means headaches - problems created rather than problems solved. Whilst no-one relishes dealing with the hassle associated with keeping their IT working, few businesses are able to ever truly free themselves from it. We believe there's a better way of delivering IT, a way that removes the hassle and leaves the care of and responsibility for your IT to ThinkGrid. We support, patch, manage, backup and look after all components of our hosted solution for you, all from the cloud.
Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP and Hosted Exchange
You are just about to start up a business, and are piecing together components such as an office, staff, telephone system and computers. You want to partner with a company that will deliver your IT and telecoms in an easy to use, always available and cost effective model. You want a service that will enable you to launch a website, send and receive business class email, and also to provide you with the desktop and applications your business will need. ThinkGrid offers a full portfolio of services that require no up front investment, and can be paid for on a low-cost monthly basis.
Applicable Services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Hosted File Server and Hosted Exchange Email
IT managers are being asked to do more and more in an increasingly complicated world. Compounding desktops, servers, applications, communications and mixes of requirements is a near impossible task to deliver. Working with ThinkGrid helps IT managers gain control of their environment through partnering. By moving typically difficult services off-premise to ThinkGrid, we take on the management and infrastructure responsibility, whilst you maintain control over quality and the direction of the service - a win-win scenario. Reduce your team's time spent de-bugging desktops, patching etc. and switch to productive and proactive IT.
Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Hosted File Server, Software on Demand, Virtual Server Infrastructure and Hosted Exchange Email
If your business is looking to utilize flexible working, or has distributed staff members, building an IT system to cope can be very expensive and difficult. ThinkGrid can provide services which allow users to connect from anywhere, as all of our solutions are hosted. We provide hosted desktops that allow users to experience the same features as they would if physically in the same office (i.e. secure file sharing and telephone system), as well as enabling collaboration from shared calendars, shared contacts and more with Hosted Exchange. Why pay for expensive Citrix or Terminal server solutions, when hosted virtual desktops are 10% of the cost and offer twice the flexibility?
Recommended services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Hosted File Server and Hosted Exchange Email
If your business is at a crossroads, considering whether to upgrade to the latest desktop computers or a new version of MS Office etc., then IT on demand lets you avoid spending any capital. Using our cloud computing model of providing services securely over the internet, ThinkGrid can offer 3 options:
Extend the life of your existing equipment. Use your existing PCs as connection devices to Hosted Desktops (even if they're 10 years old), gaining access to the latest technologies instantly - no need to upgrade hardware.
Don't invest in new software. Use ThinkGrid's software on demand to deliver applications to desktops for a fraction of the cost.
Replace old PCs with thin clients to save power, initial cost and ongoing management.
Recommended services: Hosted Desktop and Hosted File Server
9 out of 10 businesses do not have adequate disaster recovery or business continuity plans. ThinkGrid can provide online backup (allowing you to store important files from your desktop or office network within our data center) or ready-to-go desktops and services in case your business is hit by problems. Archiving and backing up email are also now essential chores. All of our services require no up front investment - just a low cost tailored to your needs.
Recommended services: Online Backup, Hosted Desktop and Hosted File Server
Ensuring your company's data is secure is imperative, not just for peace of mind, but also for compliance with regulations. Data is now easier to transport and take, and companies of all sizes need to protect themselves. Having data securely hosted in a purpose-built data center firstly provides physical security, but also enables control over who can access your data, when and how. ThinkGrid's desktop and file server offerings allow securely hosted, permission-based data control.
