Hosted Desktop Services
At Metaphor IT we understand that every company works in a unique way and every employee has a very different work style and requirements of their IT systems. Business IT systems, however, have typically been very rigid and tend to dictate how and sometimes where employee’s work. This is where a Hosted Desktop is different.
Many large global corporations have invested heavily in IT systems that now allow users to work from any location, on any device, at any time, with any Internet connection and allow them to access all the information and applications they need to do their jobs. The challenge for many businesses is that they have not been able to invest in the technologies that allow this type of flexible working or they do not have the required skills to implement and manage the technologies that provide this type of solution. This is where Metaphor IT can help!

What is a Virtual Workspace?
Our Virtual Workspace combines several technologies that allow users to create their own agile workspace. This means that depending on the tasks that they need to complete, they can decide how they want to access the information or applications they require.
Our Virtual Workspaces are are built across highly available, enterprise class datacentres in the U.K that deliver all your applications and data securely. Using any device, in any location, your workforce will have a plethora of options for home-working, ‘hot-desking’ and other flexible working environments, all proven to increase productivity and ultimately, the efficiency of the business.
Unlike many solutions on the market, we tailor our service specifically to meet the needs of each client, building a solution with dedicated infrastructure that isn’t shared with anyone else.
In terms of managing the solution, we can provide a Fully Managed IT service, enabling your business to focus on its core activities, without the distraction of running IT. Alternatively, we often work as an extension of the in-house team you’ve already built, so you can leverage the investments in people that you have already made.
We offer all this value at a competitive price, based on a per-user, per-month subscription cost, allowing your business to consume IT as efficiently as possible.
