Business computers aren’t really that smart, or that flexible. The longer you own them, the slower they get. They have to be regularly replaced or upgraded to continue being useful.
When you buy computers, you do your best to plan ahead. How many will you need? Who will use them, for what purposes and for how long? The last couple of years has shown us all that things change quickly. However, once you have shelled out on new equipment you’re stuck with your purchase until the next replacement cycle
In contrast to buying computers, the cloud model allows you to adopt a pay-as-you-go approach to your IT. You buy what you need today. When you need more, you buy more. If you need less it is simple to scale down, without incurring additional costs.
Cognition Cloud is a smart choice for your business. Below are a few reasons why.
No upfront capital investment
Not sure DaaS is for you? Cognition Cloud gives you the chance to try it out without making a huge capital investment commitment ahead of time. Cognition Cloud provides you with a predictable monthly bill for your desktop and IT services. This simplifies the investment cycle for hardware and software licenses that support your business. It centratises and simplifies cost management. IT services become operational expenditures.
Scalability
You can easily scale from one to thousands of desktops – or the other way around. When your circumstances change, in the cloud your IT can change to accommodate it. Scaling up or down is virtually instantaneous. There are no long procurement cycles to enable new employees or contractors.
Instead of buying the biggest computer you can afford, with Cognition Cloud you can right-size processing power based on the needs of each user type. If needed the power of the desktop can be changed as needs arise. It is a future-proof solution.
BYOD
Cognition Cloud makes it easy to move to BYOD. Your employees get to use the devices they want without creating support or security issues.
Management Overhead
Cognition Cloud manages everything for you so you can focus on what you do best.
Security
With Cognition Cloud your desktop data is instantly secured. If you have a bunch of laptop-toting users storing data locally, especially if those devices aren’t encrypted, you’re staring down the barrel of a disaster waiting to happen. Cognition Cloud instantly solves that problem. All user data resides in the data center. The end-point is read-only and nothing is ever stored on it.
Mobility
With your data and applications centralised in the cloud, they can be accessed from any device, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. This not only gives you and your employees lots more flexibility, your data is also more secure.
A dedicated lightweight remote access computer can be provided for workers in a hybrid working environment.
Employee Satisfaction and Retention
Employees are increasingly interested in retaining the benefits and flexibility of a hybrid or remote working environment. Cognition Cloud gives your business a number of different options to enable this. Working from the office, or working remotely gives the same user experience. Your people are happier because they get to choose the device they use and where they use it. Your business is more resilient and more productive as people are able to work around personal constraints that would otherwise mean taking time off work.
Letting your employees use their own computers for work also has the potential to save your business a lot of money.
Hardware lifespan
Cognition Cloud optimised remote access operating systems are lightweight and use minimal power. As a result, existing hardware that would normally need to be replaced can be repurposed. This applies to both company computers and employees’ older home PCs. When your computers finally do reach the end of their life, Cognition Cloud provides you with new and wraps the cost into your monthly bill.
Desktop Persistence
No matter how or where you access your desktop it will always be the same as when you last left it. No long boot up times, no profile downloads.
Simpler Upgrades
Windows operating system upgrades can be time consuming and difficult. With Cognition Cloud testing vital applications against new builds can be simpler to test and deploy.
