SYSPRO is a product that can be hosted in an online hosting facility. Since 2005 Edgeware has seen a spike in interest in running SYSPRO in a hosted environment. The decisions by corporations to move in the direction of hosted facilities have been based on a need to decrease IT expenses, increasing reliability, and having the ability to focus on their business versus keeping hardware running. Hardware platforms are vulnerable to failure due to hardware crashes, electrical spikes, overheating due to server fan or air-conditioning malfunctions, internet connections failing, and firewalls failing.

 

Edgeware has seen the trend in 2008/2009 to move most all of the IT resources offsite. The trend was due in part to the need to reduce costs during the economic crisis and a trend to becoming a lean corporation. Many IT services have been outsourced to professionally hosted IT corporations by our SYSPRO customers including: eFaxing, phone systems, SYSPRO, SQL, websites, eCommerce, email, entire computer desktops, Exchange and office.  The savings and efficiencies can be tremendous.

 

Edgeware has worked with multiple full service SaaS cloud computing vendors. The preferred choice of SaaS hosting providers based on speed, expandability, flexibility, and ability to give the customer some controls over their environment is: Argus Hosting. The owners of Edgeware have an equity interest in the Argus Hosting LLC corporation and recommend it since the platform provider of Argus runs an extremely advanced data center with multiple global locations and agressive pricing models.
