MBD has over 10 years experience at delivering IT solutions.  VITAL, our managed network solution, was developed over a 4 year period as a direct result of listening to our clients needs.  For over 3 years VITAL has been delivering a high quality IT service at an affordable price.

With VITAL:

• You can reduce many of the initial costs and investment associated with traditional IT solutions, making the ongoing costs of ownership not just manageable, but also predictable - flat rate pricing means no hidden costs.
• Adding new users, or removing temporary staff, is simple and, at a fixed price per user per month, allows for  precise budgeting and cost control.
• The number of staff required for internal IT administration and management is reduced. 
• As your business expands and staff require IT access from multiple locations, your infrastructure is scalable, controlled, predictable and cost effective.
• Staff are able to concentrate on increasing productivity for your business rather than chasing resolutions to IT problems.
• You can add further locations and users seamlessly to the network at a  known cost per office.

VITAL gives you a managed, secure, scalable and integrated IT solution to meet your current and future requirements.

With VITAL your entire network and computing needs are delivered through a single outsourced IT function.
 
Your hardware and software capital expenditure and depreciation are minimised, but your security, support, scalability and delivery of infrastructure to employees and customers are maximised to a standard that is generally only found in the very largest companies.

Data is automatically backed up to a remote secure location and can easily be restored to your desired VITAL location.

Virus protection is always up-to-date and effective with no user intervention required.

Keeping your Business Running

You have access to the messaging and collaborative tools available with Microsoft® Exchange® and Outlook® that include:

Your computers are remotely deployed and your software is installed complete with the latest operating systems and applications.

Your users benefit from a fully managed desktop experience with applications, printers, shared network resources and user settings fully configured when they log on at any workstation in any ‘office’ connected to your VITAL network. Staff can log on and work from any VITAL machine in any office, connected to any part of your network.  The user is always presented with all of their applications, data and email.

The latest versions of relevant software are always available with deployments and updates taking only minutes (not hours) across all your computers. Granting users access to their data and applications from multiple office locations is a simple and straightforward task.

User data and e-mail are easily available from remote locations using either a web browser or remote access services. Mobile ‘Over the Air’ synchronisation between Microsoft® Exchange® and compatible Microsoft® Pocket PC® or Blackberry devices is also available as an addition to the service if required.
