Get off the ground and into the cloud today

Why are so many businesses moving to the cloud? It’s because cloud computing increases efficiency, helps improve cash flow & offers many more benefits…

Here's nine of the best reasons we believe your business should move to the cloud:

  1. Flexibility - Cloud-based services are ideal for businesses with growing or fluctuating bandwidth demands. Regardless of your business needs, scale up or down your cloud capacity.
  2. Disaster recovery - Cloud is now helping more companies to buck the trend and invest in disaster recovery, which is usually not developed due to a lack of required cash & expertise. 
  3. Automatic software updates - With servers off-premise, out of sight, & with suppliers taking care of them for you, there is no need to worry about regular software updates (including security updates) as it is all done for you.
  4. Capital-expenditure free - Cloud computing cuts out the high cost of hardware, allowing you to simply pay as you go & enjoy a subscription-based model. Easy to set-up & to manage.
  5. Increased collaboration - When your teams can access, edit & share documents any time, from anywhere, they’re able to do more together, & do it better. 
  6. Work from anywhere - With cloud computing, if you've got an internet connection you can be at work, no matter what device you have on hand.
  7. Document control - Instead of sending files back & forth as email attachment, when you make the move to the cloud , all files are stored centrally & everyone sees one version of the truth. 
  8. Security - Cloud computing gives you greater security when equipment like laptops are lost. Because your data is stored in the cloud, you can access it no matter what happens to your machine. And you can even remotely wipe data from lost laptops so it doesn't get into the wrong hands.
  9. Competitiveness - Moving to the cloud gives access to enterprise-class technology, for everyone. It also allows smaller businesses to act faster than big, established competitors. Pay-as-you-go service and cloud business applications mean small outfits can run with the big boys, and disrupt the market, while remaining lean and nimble.

I have enjoyed attending the EXO User Community Workshops and find them very helpful. The group is a valuable resource that provides a great opportunity to discuss issues and solutions with other users. It is also great to learn about new products and features available, and promotes continual improvements which make our use of EXO easier and more efficient.

Focus Technology Group provides support for our EXO system which we use for general ledger, stocks and payments. This has required significant customisation and refinement, in particular to accommodate payments to suppliers. We appreciate the services of Alex Ball who has always risen to the challenge of developing changes to the basic EXO package and has proven himself to be timely, accurate and very capable over a long period.
