The Virtual Desktop environment proposed places all the strain on the server - the PC becomes a dumb client accessing programs running on the virtual server across the Internet.

Your Office applications, accounting applications and business applications are all installed on the server, with each user logging into the server as a Remote Desktop user.

The network now has to carry only the changes to the screen display, and your key strokes and mouse movements all the processing is done on the virtual server and not the local access device.

One of the biggest costs and hassles for businesses is technology - when it goes wrong, the delays in getting things fixed are frustrating, and the cost of calling out service personnel, constantly upgrading hardware and software- and even working out what is needed to make it work all add up to a significant cost of doing business for your organisation.

By putting the software on the server, this responsibility is moved to the Service Provider- they keep the software up to date, they make sure the server has enough performance to meet your needs, they fix it when it goes wrong - without a callout charge to visit your offices.

PC's that have run out of disk space or memory get a new lease of life - they will work fine as remote desktop PC's, as long as they can connect to the Internet.

You can also access everything from any location on the internet - home, customer's office, hotel room, internet café.

Overall less capital expenditure, less support hassles, less downtime - more productive time working on your business.

A server centrally hosted for your company to run your bespoke software, accounting application and provide file and print services for multiple sites.

Hosted Exchange email - with shared calendars so that the team can see when others are available and where they are, and shared contacts making it easier to manage customer directories.

Replacing PC based Office software, anti-virus and backups with central thin client software and services, making remote working easier and more efficient and reducing the need for PC upgrades and support.

Most people using ISP email are unaware of the limitations this imposes on their use of Outlook and their business communications. Outlook was designed as a client for Exchange, to operate in a business with a dedicated or hosted email server, which gives significant benefits over ISP email. MilT has a central, hosted exchange server, which can provide you with all of these benefits - for a fraction of the cost of installing and managing your own server.

We configure your domain on the server, and all mail is then delivered to the MilT Exchange server.
We then help you to set up your email device(s) to connect to the server and synchronise with it securely over the internet. The emails remain on the server-which mean you can synchronise multiple devices without losing track of your mail, it also means that if your PC needs to be rebuilt, you can simply rebuild your email from the server without losing your data. You can then manage your email, contacts, tasks and Calendar from anywhere -on your laptop, mobile device, office PC or over the internet using web access. And if you choose to allow them, others in your office can have visibility of these as well.

Ability to synchronise Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks as well as Email

Mobile access without duplicating your PC access

Outlook Web Access from any internet cafe

Ability to share your calendar with the rest of your team, and book meetings based on their availability

Support for shared mail folders and shared contacts across your business

The hosted email service offers more than just having an Exchange server:

Mail is hosted in a central Data Centre - your server is always on line, so no lost emails

Microsoft forefront security -protecting you from virus and spam emails

Access to local support to make changes to your email service as required.
