Hosted Software

thinkspace uses the “hosted software” or “Software as a Service (SaaS)” model. Instead of hundreds of companies each operating hundreds of their own servers, the multi-tenant SaaS model allows many companies to combine their operations. This means fewer servers, reduced energy consumption, lower carbon emissions and smaller carbon footprint. SaaS is green.

The traditional, on-premise software model requires companies to purchase enterprise class software licenses which is incredibly expensive; have a huge capital investment; have a long implementation time; requires hiring technology staff to maintain and operate the software.

The hosted model allows us to provide our customers with the best technology solution, easy installation, and the lowest total cost of ownership. We provide a range of services such as hosted enterprise email systems. The hosted email model allows smaller businesses to enjoy the benefits of a fully protected e-mail environment without the IT resources and sophistication required to implement an in-house solution.

Hosted Micosoft Exchange

The cost of implementing and maintaining a Microsoft Exchange service “in-house” is too expensive. The capital investment in hardware, licensing and cost of staff time to maintain the service can exceed $10,000 per year. This is why “managed Exchange hosting” is an excellent option for smaller businesses. This allows businesses to use the same enterprise-strength email system that Fortune 500 companies have, without the huge cost. Contact us for more details.

Google Apps

Looking for something to convey professionalism when you contact your customers through email? Looking for something better than simple domain email accounts or those unreliable free accounts that you get from your cable provider? With Thinkspace’s help and Google Apps, you can focus on your business rather than worrying about information technology. With this solution you can:

  • Take email for granted.
  • Stop worrying about spam and viruses.
  • Collaborate freely from anywhere in the world, on any computer or mobile device.
  • Reduce your energy consumption by not buying more servers. Stop paying people to patch and fix them.
  • Actually find the documents and emails you search for, no matter how old.
  • Know that your data is protected, and worrying about ‘backup’ is a thing of the past.

Contact us for a free assessment. When our assessment is complete we will help you sign up for Google Apps, change your domain’s email server settings, help you set up your user accounts, and show you how to manage your new Google Apps account.
