Cloud Services
Cloud Computing
For better or for worse, cloud-computing is the technology of the future. Just ask Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, who recently said that seventy percent of Microsoft employees are doing something at least related to cloud computing; in a year, that figure will be ninety percent.
Although cloud computing is not without concerns about security, stability, and data ownership, at its best it allows businesses to unshackle day-to-day operations from the local office server(s). Cloud computing is helping to shape today's truly mobile workforce.
For small businesses, cloud computing hits a particular sweet spot. With cloud services, small businesses reap the benefits of not having to deploy physical infrastructure like file and e-mail servers, storage systems or shrink-wrapped software. Plus, the "anywhere, anytime" availability of these solutions, means hassle-free collaboration between business partners and employees by simply using a browser. In fact, it's not a stretch to say that aside from a locally installed desktop operating system and browser, a lot of today's small business technology needs can be fulfilled almost completely with cloud-based offerings.

Replacing or adding capabilities to your IT infrastructure leads to reoccurring capital expenditures for the hardware, software, and consulting services, which typically last only 3 to 4 years. In addition to large initial upfront costs, most organizations need to augment their systems regularly, to keep up with the increasing demands and changing requirements.
PMCCS provides the flexibility to add more performance and features without the typical upfront costs. We provide the services that meet your current needs, and can be easily expanded for your future requirements. With our ability to bill your Microsoft software, hardware and services on a monthly basis, our clients can leverage the latest technology with just a phone call. Our clients can add (or remove) services like remote access, mail services and application servers, when needed. It's that easy!
