			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cost of purchasing your own server and having an IT technician set it up and maintain it is daunting for many small businesses. Without an IT support professional supporting you the entire way (which isn&#8217;t cheap) things like backups and security are left to chance.</p>

<p>Heres some of the benefits:</p>
<ul>

<li>You and your staff will have secure access to your applications and files from anywhere at anytime through the Internet.</li>
<li>There is absolutely no requirement for expensive PC‚Äôs and Laptops as all you simply need is Internet Explorer 7.0 or greater running on your computer.</li>
<li>You will leverage off leading edge technology from Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, and Citrix.</li>
<li>We can provide you with BlackBerry integration with email, contacts, calendar, and tasks.</li>
<li>Most spam and viruses are eliminated with our Mail Marshal scanning software which sits alongside our separate anti-virus software.</li>
<li>With competitive monthly rental rates for Microsoft applications you can use them when you want and only pay for the months in which they are used.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all felt the pressure of the recession affect our business so why would anyone upgrade their business software in the middle of a recession?</p>
<p>Firstly implementing systems during busy periods when you suddenly need them the most can be difficult to manage as a business so now is the ideal time to use down periods to improve your processes and software.</p>
<p>Secondly it doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive&#8230;</p>
<p>All that may be required is a tidy up of your accounts system and processes and possibly another business software system to streamline problem areas. It may be that your Sales, Marketing and Customer management could be optimised by a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system actually improving productivity and sales leads at a time when you need it most.</p>
<p>A good starting point is to book Accountserve in for a free one hour consultancy to see if there are any improvements that can be made to your systems and processes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SaaS is the latest bussword used in IT world. It stands for Software as a Service which simply means instead of purchasing software you pay as you go.</p>
<p>The term has come to apply more and more to online applications that have no initial purchase price, just a monthly subscription fee. Products range from Accounting systems to Inventory management.</p>
