How it Works

Application Sharing saves organizations time and money.

Using advanced streaming and encryption technology, your employees will be able to securely access all of your software applications, while working remotely, as long as they have an internet connection, a browser and a web-enabled device running Windows. No servers or storage need to be purchased and no technical resources need to be employed to maintain an IT infrastructure. All data is automatically backed up to our off-site servers for security and quick restoration. By simply paying a low monthly fee, your employees can just plug-in and start working.

Our application sharing solution provides your business with a virtual office, using Citrix server-based computing. This means that your employees can access the same applications from different workstations simultaneously, without having to install copies of the software on individual workstations, all while getting the same desktop experience.

Collaboration among employees is seamless and easy because applications are run and updated on a central server, so users always have access to the latest version and newest features of software, on a 24/7 basis.

We host a wide selection of the most commonly-used applications which are safely installed on enterprise-class IBM servers, co-located inside the data center of the country’s premier hosting facility operated by TELUS Canada. Users can quickly access popular applications such as: Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook. Other word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, database and accounting software can be added.

Application Sharing saves organizations time and money. We deliver unparalleled management of your entire IT environment: including servers, applications, licensing, printers, and support. Because our experts can remotely control a user’s desktop, they can provide your employees with the training, and technical support they need online, while greatly reducing the cost of expensive on-site visits. This means that your IT resources are now free to focus on projects that positively impact your business.
