Encompass360 - Hosting Options

Keep Costs Low and Quality of Service High with a Hosted and Managed Solution.

Today’s market presents new challenges. Everyone is looking to cut costs and although it’s now possible—and common—to have staff scattered across the country, keeping everyone connected can be difficult.

That’s why we recommend that companies let us take care of the software hosting and management.

You still have control over key elements of your solution, such as user rights and workflow, but we do the heavy lifting when it comes to managing servers, providing security and data back-up and applying the latest updates.

If you have several branches or remote employees, this is an easy way to keep everyone centralized on the same system. Even if you’re just based in one office, hosting has several advantages.

  • Quick deployment
  • No high infrastructure and support costs
  • Guaranteed reliability and security
  • Lowered risk of compromising customer data if a machine crashes or is lost or stolen
  • Easy business expansion

Host Your Own Software

Prefer to keep software hosting in-house? No problem. Encompass360® can be easily self-hosted. Our Implementation Team will help you get up and running and our Professional Services team will be available for help at rollout and beyond.
