Masset-Glencross have been enthusiastic users of the SaSperBox Solution. We migrated all our IT onto the SaSperBox service and have been enjoying the amazing Mobility benefits ever since. The added benefit of the increased security provided by having our servers and information located in a secure Datacentre was further bought into perspective when our premises were burgled. All of our proprietary applications and accounting systems are able to be run on SaSperBox providing an integrated solution used for everything we do.
Electronic filing was becoming an issue for us at Masset-Glencross. We needed to have all our paper documents available online and accessible from anywhere when required. SaSperBox allows us to receive faxes and scanned documents directly to our email accounts which we access from anywhere in the world. The introduction of this service into our company has made our staff highly mobile and able to work from anywhere at any time. Now I can directly connect back into our systems from my holiday home, the pacific islands, or the other side of the world. All our documents, emails, and other applications are available to me, just as if I was in the office. If I connect to a printer in my remote location, I can print directly from my desktop!
In March 2011 our offices were burgled after hours one weekend. One of the first thoughts which went through my mind was how much of a disaster it would have been if our servers had been destroyed or stolen during the burglary. It was a major relief when I realised that all our data and systems were now housed in a secure Data Centre which keeps them safe from these types of intrusions. The Data Centre our server is in has multiple security measures including, 24/7 monitoring, video surveillance, and Biometric access. We couldn’t feel more secure knowing our server and data are locked away and, in a disaster, they are connected to an uninterruptable power supply and backup generator.
We were able to transfer all our existing IT applications over to SaSperBox in one go. This included all our proprietary software which we have been using for over 10 years. Originally, we had our Accounting and our custom freight management applications loaded onto a computer in our office. This meant we could only access these systems when in the office. Now that we have everything running on SaSperBox, we have the same virtual desktop accessible from anywhere in the world allowing access to all our applications, where ever we might be.
Masset-Glencross staff are really enjoying the many mobility benefits and opportunities presented to us using SaSperBox which we never had previously. Our Security measures have been increased exponentially and we now feel more prepared for unknown events such as a natural disaster. The ability to run all our applications on SaSperBox, including our own proprietary software and accounting package, means everything is located on the one virtual desktop for all users. This means the integration between all our systems is safer, more robust, and fast.
