Reason behind ACT! Hosting

The enterprises have realized the benefits of Cloud based application access and are willing to shed Many IT infrastructure management and support functions to specialized service providers. Some of the reasons that drive enterprises towards ACT! Hosting is:

Need for reducing IT costs: With ACT! Hosting the enterprises gets to use a ready made IT infrastructure which is available on demand, platform and browser independence. This means that what ever the application they are using besides ACT! CRM they do not need to create specialized IT application for each application. Thus there is a degree of application compatibility in the IT infrastructure.

Further IT costs are reduced on account of:

 

• Minimum system configuration needed for accessing ACT! CRM software: Since the application is installed and run on terminal servers and a centralized database exists, lees consumption of memory and CPU are required at individual systems, leading to minimal system requirement for running the software. This also means doing away with system and server upgrades frequently and in the process saving IT costs.

 

• Support and maintenance provided by the service provider:  with ACT! Hosting most of the application management and troubleshooting functions are outsourced to the service provider and they ensure that the application is maintained and managed in most optimal condition.
• Application installation and upgrades are easy due to centralized access and more ever it is the service provider functions rather than the enterprise.
• Scalability issues: With Terminal server hosting the enterprises no more required to provision beforehand in anticipation of increasing number of users. Since any number of users can be added on the terminal server at a short notice, no investment in the IT is required.

 

Unleashing the power of multiuser collaboration

ACT! Hosting and in fact any application hosting services brings innumerable benefits to the user in terms of alternative mode of application access.

• Share and exchange file on the Go: ACT! Hosting allows application access not only from any system independent of platforms used but allows sharing and exchange of files even when various users are remotely connected.

 

High speed application access: Reduced system requirement and high technology terminal servers ensure that the application performance and access is enhanced in a hosted environment. Further cloud environment involved effective load balancing between multiple servers that is not possible at the local level.

Easy application management: In desktop based deployment a copy of the application is installed on each computer, user preferences set and also IT management is done for each system leading to high variability in each system and application performance from one user to another. With centralized terminal server deployment, central application management ensures that users have the most optimal application access experience.
