Work across multiple locations

Overview

Managing multiple business locations comes with numerous challenges. How do you ensure that all your staff are working on the same data instead of multiple versions of the same file? How do you keep your applications consistently up to date? Is it practical to travel to different locations to resolve technical issues?

Business Challenge

No matter what business you're in, ensuring that all your staff are working with the same data can be challenging. This becomes even more complex with multiple sites. Whether you're opening a second location or have been operating across multiple branches for years, managing your infrastructure can be extremely daunting.

Solution

With Apps Hoster, managing your data and applications becomes effortless. Everything resides on one computer, known as the host. Users can log onto this computer simultaneously from anywhere using Apps Hoster, ensuring everyone is working on the same data. Updating applications is a breeze - you only need to do it once on the host, and you can do it from anywhere. If anyone encounters an issue, you can remotely log onto the host to resolve it. When a user no longer needs access to your resources, simply revoke their access. Alternatively, you can opt for a managed cloud server with us. We'll handle everything from backups to updates, and we can remotely resolve any issues your users may encounter.

Art galleries, like many other businesses, often operate across multiple locations, host private viewings, and participate in on-the-go exhibitions. Ensuring their inventory is consistently updated is crucial to prevent staff from promising the same item to two different buyers.

Apps Hoster’s Managed Cloud solution empowers Appshoster to provide their industry-leading art inventory technology via the cloud. This enables their customers to manage their inventories across multiple locations and remotely on their tablets or smartphones. Additionally, customers benefit from daily backups of their entire system, ensuring the safety and security of their databases.

Should you take a cloud server or use your existing computer?

Before deciding between a Managed Cloud Server or an on-premise solution, consider the following questions:

  • How many users will be accessing the computer with the necessary programs simultaneously?
  • Does your current computer have the capacity to handle the workload from multiple users?
  • Do you have someone available in the office to regularly back up and maintain the machine?


For businesses operating across multiple locations with numerous users, meeting these requirements can entail a significant investment. However, with a Managed Cloud Server, all these concerns are addressed. We handle setup, backups, maintenance, updates, and ensure 24/7 availability for your team. Alternatively, if you already have a PC or server that meets your needs, an on-premise solution may be suitable.

How can Managed Cloud servers help your business?

Our managed cloud servers offer businesses a fast, secure, and reliable platform for collaborating from anywhere in the world.

For instance, Artsystems has leveraged this platform to bundle their industry-leading software, creating a compelling product for their customers. By doing so, they can concentrate on developing their software and acquiring new clients, leaving the day-to-day server maintenance to us.

How do you get started with a cloud server?

Cloud servers are available as an optional add-on to your paid subscription. Simply log in to your online account and update your subscription to include the cloud server of your choice.

Once updated, we’ll reach out to gather additional information, such as which programs you’d like installed. From there, we’ll set up your server accordingly. Once it’s ready, we’ll notify you so your team can start working right away!
