FlexDesktop

PowerON’s Flexible Desktop and Business Continuity Service, “FlexDesktop”, ensures users can continue to work and use company resources for either small scale individual issues such as broken or lost devices, through to large scale situations such as forced office closures requiring users to work from home on personal devices.

Enabling your organisations applications and data to be ‘stateless’ allows these services to be quickly accessible from multiple locations/devices with secure access controls and conditions to support corporate compliance.

Enhancing your current operations with business protection allows your organisation to provide services remotely, on short notice, and paying only when you scale up these services.
