Our Business hosted telephones, sometimes called VoIP, are an efficient, cost-effective solution for all sizes of businesses from single users up to the many hundreds of users. Many of our clients have recently made the switch from traditional telephony to our hosted telecoms solution. This is due to its extensive range of business, financial and technical benefits to future proof your business. Simply put, hosted telephony is a telephone system that resides in the cloud rather than in your office. Users access the hosted telephone system through a business-class IP phone that we provide. Calls are made and received over an internet connection and are routed to fixed and mobile devices.
For a company looking for all the features of a full-blown on-premises system, but without the costs, our hosted phone system will be perfect for you. Delivering calls over the internet enable ultimate business flexibility enabling extensions to be distributed across sites, home workers, and remote workers using laptops or mobile devices. Users are not tied to a desk meaning flexible working is fully supported and easy to deploy. We will integrate your fixed and mobile capabilities so that you never miss a call. Any disruptions to your business due to disaster or adverse weather are a thing of the past. Call routing can be set up in the click of a button, meaning your business, stays in business when you are mobile, working from home or any other location.

MANAGED WIFI
Reliable
Expandable
Secure
Flexible
A strong and robust WiFi connection is now expected but a router tucked away in a corner or cupboard simply can’t deliver. WiFi extenders and powerline adaptors can help but often need rebooting, reconnecting and end up being the source of endless frustration. The solution is a managed WiFi setup.
If you’re considering whether to offer public WiFi then there are some serious considerations that you’ll need to take into account. For example, it’s necessary to ensure that you are acting responsibly legally compliant.
No business should be putting their WiFi users at risk whether they are internal staff members or customers.
It’s also important not to put your own business at risk by giving out unsecured access to guests. Make sure you offer a separate, isolated guest WiFi connection from your business WiFi which should always have a secure and private login.
We can install various professional Access Points around your buildings that appear as one large WiFi network to cover all areas. We securely isolate the business network from any guest network.
We are an Authorised Provider of the government-backed Friendly WiFi Scheme which provides safe and filtered WiFi for your customers, blocking any inappropriate content and preventing you from being liable for any illegal activity from guest users.

DATA DESTRUCTION
Reliable
Cost Effective
Fully Managed
Access From Anywhere
Sensitive data should be managed and disposed of securely and in full compliance with government regulations. Businesses now collect and store massive quantities of data. This information sits on local Computer hard drives and servers, mobile devices, and often, in the cloud.
Storage trends are continually evolving, there has never been a more important time to have a secure and reliable way to not only locate what data you hold but to also destroy it when needed. This is not just a matter of business security but also regulatory reform with GDPR – data subjects now have a right to have their data deleted from a company’s systems upon formal request.
This is particularly important today as the falling cost of mass storage has led many businesses to simply keep vast quantities of their information instead of operating a disposal strategy. Data is permanently destroyed using mechanical shredding or degaussing. Destruction certificates and reports are issued to the client as required.
