Approach Technology

Moving computing into the cloud

Moving computing into the cloud is the work of Approach Technology, which handles everything from single desktops to whole sets of servers. Its aim is to make the move easy: whatever a client runs on premise, the firm says it can shift into the cloud, where it expects performance to be faster, costs to be lower and reliability to be higher. The company says it works with cloud leaders to design solutions that are secure and reachable from any location, so a business can work from anywhere.

Virtual desktops

Each user gets a dedicated virtual desktop set up with Office 365 apps, email, secure corporate file sharing and any other software the business needs. The firm says staff can reach these desktops from almost anywhere and on virtually any device. Support is described as ongoing and available around the clock, so that computing problems are handled without the business having to wait. The company also says every desktop is backed up and secured as part of the setup.

Cloud migration and custom solutions

Migration covers anything from a couple of servers to a full estate. The company says it can build a client's project in the cloud before any hardware is bought, which means clients pay only for what they use. Data is said to be backed up and secured against disaster. Custom cloud solutions are built on services from cloud partners, and the firm says this lets it match the design to each business's particular needs.

Customer service

The firm presents its service as a main reason clients stay. It says it provides the highest quality ongoing support, whether it has moved a few servers or delivered a full virtual desktop implementation. It also says its cloud model is designed to scale as a client's needs grow.
