Ask Provocative Questions

Question/Objection Proactive Response
Will I need to buy new desktops and software…
DaaS solutions deliver a high-definition experience to any device, even your aging devices that are due for an upgrade. There are no upfront costs, no new hardware or software to buy and you only pay for applications and IT services you use.
How do I get to my information? Is it secure?
All of your data and applications are centrally stored and backed up in the CSPs data center. You securely access your desktop, apps and data with an encrypted connection from any device, anywhere.
Won’t this make IT jobs obsolete… IT staff are freed from mundane, low-value tasks such as desktop support, updates and responding to fire drills. Instead, they can focus on strategic initiatives the help fuel business growth. What project have you always wanted to do?
I can already read email from my phone or tablet…
What about all the apps and data you use to run your business. DaaS solutions make any device a desktop workspace with full access to all of your apps and data.
We backup our data in case of a disaster. Isn’t that enough…
Backup is just one part of the business continuity play. DaaS solutions not only ensure that applications and data remain available, but that your workers can stay productive from any location, using whatever device they have available.
