Take VISUAL ERP to the Cloud – You Can't Afford Not To!
Take VISUAL ERP to the Cloud – You Can't Afford Not To!

 

Tired of...

  1. Chasing IT excellence and fighting fires all-day?
  2. Constantly postponing the ERP maintenance tasks that never get done but are critical 😊?
  3. Keeping up with Compliance, Regulations, and Security threats?
  4. Figuring out how to deliver top support for your staff on your ERP?
  5. Trying to Scale systems and adapt to growth and the mobile world?
  6. Unplanned outages to your system cost everyone time and money?

 

CloudFour Private Hosting is your answer

ICG's CloudFour Hosting is the easy button to modernize, stabilize, mobilize, and support VISUAL ERP for your business! Living on old technology, old ERP software versions, and using multiple interfaces to do your daily jobs is highly inefficient and risky. 

Don't forget that non-current software and systems are a huge security risk. Amazon, Azure, and other clouds don't compete as they do not deliver the security, management, administration, and support components. 

ICG designed CloudFour Private Hosting to deliver your ERP system and your entire IT data center footprint. 

CloudFour is fully managed and supported, allowing you to focus on the business, ensuring stability, growth, flexibility, security, speed, and the ability to scale on demand… for a low cost. This is the easy button for Hosting and Supporting your ERP and IT Systems!

 

Case Study:

Recently ICG was engaged with a mid-sized manufacturing company that wanted to migrate VISUAL ERP to the Cloud. The customer indicated they were looking at Amazon Web Services and Azure to host VISUAL ERP and its supporting systems. This company has a single IT Manager who does EVERYTHING for them and tends to be quite busy, and the CFO's goal was to reduce the IT manager's load and allow him to focus on critical business projects. During the conversation, we discussed which of ICG's cloud solutions would put the business on a better path in delivering their systems' stability, mobility, and performance.

During the conversation, the CFO and IT Manager mentioned how simple Azure and AWS were, as there would be almost no maintenance, and how much better the IT Manager's life would be. After we heard this, we realized that the customer thought the Cloud was hands-off and maintenance-free. We helped them understand that moving to the Cloud did not eliminate the management, administration, and support of the Windows Server Environment, Connectivity, Networking, Administration, and Support of the ERP. We talked about the benefits of the Cloud, but the caveat was just like an on-premise environment. The Cloud needed to be managed and supported. This was an "Aha!" moment for the customer, realizing that the Cloud was not self-supporting. We presented all three cloud options for them: ICG's CloudFour, AWS, and Azure. and when the CFO saw the difference in prices, he was stunned…. Not only was CloudFour fully supported, fully managed, and the ERP administered and supported, but the small additional cost was manageable! They are now in ICG's CloudFour and very happy!

 

Don't believe it? Here is what our customers are saying:

"ICG understood our business, our ERP Software, and our Processes. We went live with CloudFour Hosting for our ERP and IT systems over two years ago and never looked back. With ICG on overwatch, I sleep peacefully at night and would never go back to the old way!"

 

"VISUAL ERP was undocumented, unstable, slow, and underperformed at all times, causing massive disruptions within the business. We were drowning because our system could not keep up. ICG migrated our VISUAL ERP systems to CloudFour Hosting and combined with their customer support for all my users. We are fast, flexible, secure, mobile, and fully supported! We could not be more pleased with the Hosting and Support Services"
