The Apple Mac Office
Apple, the company and its products have come of age and all businesses, not just “creative” ones, are capitalising on the innovation, the reliability and the ease of use promised and delivered by Apple. From small businesses operating from a home office to larger businesses in the high street, Apple’s products are replacing all aspects of a business’s I.T. infrastructure both in terms of hardware and software. The Apple range is more tightly integrated than ever before giving a reliable and unified solution from the Server in the office which handles all users, files, email, calendars and more to the employee’s business iPhone with “Push” email to rival Blackberry. Apple also allows an organisation to build Mobile Apps which can then run on the office iPhones and now iPads giving more flexibility in how data is entered and accessed internally.
The Apple Switch, Home and Office
Agile.co offers help to people looking to “switch” from Windows based PCs and laptops to one of Apple’s computer products whether an iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Agile.co can give advice to home workers and new or existing Apple based businesses alike on hardware decisions and the configuration to suit your needs. Agile.co can charge by the hour, the day or on a monthly contract – whichever suits your requirements and your budget.
Apple Mac OS X Server Support
The Server is often the heart of a network and Apple really makes this possible for you with its Snow Leopard Server offering. Agile.co will configure your server, install it, connect your users to the server and give them:
- files backup
- centralised email
- internet access
- address book synchronisation
- shared calendars
- remote server access on the move
- shared printer access
- (& more…)
Agile.co can even arrange your server to be “co-located” which means that it will be hosted by a server company with fast connections to the backbone of the internet i.e. you will not experience slower speeds imposed by the restrictions of your home or office broadband connection when you “dial-in”. The costs for co-locating are a lot less than you think – talk to Agile.co today to get more of an idea about the benefits of this approach.
Apple Mac OS X Server Licensing
Apple’s Snow Leopard Server gives you ‘unlimited users’ access with no additional licensing fees per user / per seat after you initially buy the server software which can easily beat Microsoft’s equivalent server offering and the costs it incurs. Worth remembering wouldn’t you say?
iMac Desktops and MacBook / Pro Laptops
An office can use PCs connected to an Apple Server but to be honest, the network only really truly shines when Apple’s desktop and laptop machines are used with it. These users’ machines are called “clients” (confusingly) – you may have heard of “Client / Server” networks – and so with our Server offering above we can supply the whole network solution. Agile.co configures each client machine on the network including laptops like the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and with the Remote Server Access configured on the Server, the Sales, Executive and remote working members of staff can easily access what they need at home and abroad.
iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, even iPods
Agile.co is a 100% Apple based company and uses iPhones itself as well as all the other hardware and software Apple has to offer. This experience means that we can help your organisation realise the potential of these devices as linked devices in your office infrastructure. Office email on the iPhone is the obvious use of this technology but there is a lot more you can do with Apple’s mobile devices. For example, you could download industry-related Podcasts from iTunes and synchronise them with the mobile devices which makes commuting time more valuable by keeping up-to-date with everything going on. Indeed, with the Apple Server software too, you can record and publish your own company Podcasts and distribute them to your users easily. Talk to Agile.co about what else you can do with your Apple network.
What you Need to Know
* Some technical types tend not to listen to business needs; perhaps you have experienced that already? Agile.co is different because we put the business and the people at the heart of what we do; thus, we listen, verify that we understand you and your unique needs accurately, and then we design and develop in small "iterations".
This "Agile" process usually prevents costly changes to work later in the project and an Agile project means that you can see progress on your website design, for example, almost daily; indeed it is positively encouraged by Agile.co - call, ask us questions, test us!
Agile.co is committed to small business development but uses the latest and greatest technology and good ideas to boost your small business to compete with the bigger players in your industry.
