To achieve true business continuity, you need to decide how your team interacts with your software. At FM iSolutions, we offer two primary ways to mobilize your Sage environment. One focuses on the User Experience, and the other focuses on Data Accessibility.
The Need: Best for businesses that want to get rid of physical servers entirely and need their staff to access Sage or Palladium (and other files) from anywhere without installing software on every laptop.
How it works: We create a “Desktop in the Cloud.” Your team logs into a secure remote desktop where Sage or Palladium, your Office documents, and your database all live together.
The Benefits:
Device Independence: Run Sage 200 Evolution on a Mac, a tablet, or a low-spec laptop—the “heavy lifting” happens on our powerful server.
Unified Environment: Everyone works on the same version of the software in a controlled, identical environment.
Zero Local Maintenance: No more worrying about Windows updates or hardware failures on local PCs affecting your ERP.
Virtual Hosted Servers (VHS) accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Large scalable options including Microsoft Licencing
Dedicated Server
Anti-Virus; Anti-Ransomware; Threat Protection Analytics
Windows OS; Software Update Patch management
Windows Office Licences optional
Daily Off-site Secure Backups
RAID Drive redundancies
The Need: Best for businesses with a distributed team who already have Sage installed on their local machines but need a “single source of truth” that everyone connects to via the internet.
How it works: We host only the Microsoft SQL Database in our secure data center. Your local Sage application “calls” the data from our hosted engine.
The Benefits:
Lower Bandwidth Usage: Only the raw data travels over the internet, not the entire desktop visual.
High Performance: You get the speed of your local processor combined with the reliability and security of a professional SQL host.
Hybrid Flexibility: Perfect for offices that still want some local control but need to ensure their data is backed up and accessible to remote branches.
