Know what is there; make it run smoothly; then hand out workplaces in a way that keeps company data off every laptop that leaves the building.
For when you need an honest inventory: ahead of an investment, after changing IT provider or because your insurer has started asking questions. You receive a ranked list of actions.
For when everyone complains that things are slow but nobody can say why. We take measurements at peak times and locate the bottleneck before money goes on new kit.
For connecting seasonal staff, branch offices or home workers quickly and securely. The desktop runs in a data centre, and nothing is left behind on the device.
Nothing changes on day one. We gather data, explain what it tells us and then carry out only what you sign off. The whole process runs over remote access.
A lightweight agent records load for two to three weeks, ideally spanning a month-end close. That way we see real peaks rather than a quiet Tuesday morning.
Which service relies on which? It is not unusual to find the scanner still dropping PDFs onto a share on the old server that everyone believed was switched off.
Each finding is scored for risk, benefit and effort in hours. At a glance you can tell what needs doing now and what fits next year's budget.
Either we carry out the work in agreed maintenance windows or your existing provider takes the list and does it. Anything physical is done by your own staff, guided by us.
Virtual desktops do not suit every job. This comparison shows where they shine and where a conventional computer remains the better pick.
Option 1
Local PC
Software and files live on each person's own machine, the way most offices have worked for decades.
Option 2
Virtual workplace
The desktop runs in a data centre. Your device merely displays the picture and passes on keyboard and mouse input.
Day to day
Who suits which model
Mixing both is perfectly normal: part of the team goes virtual while the rest keep their computers.
Most speed problems are not hardware problems. The culprits we keep finding: an antivirus product scanning every database file on every read; a file share still reached over an outdated protocol; a volume sitting at 95 % capacity; a nightly backup that drags on into the late morning. Each of these can be cured remotely, and none of them goes away with a new server.
That comes down to software. If your accounting or industry package is available as a cloud edition and documents can move to SharePoint, the server is frequently redundant. If an application only runs when installed locally, your internet line is weak or a customer insists that data stays on the premises, keeping it may still make financial sense. The health check compares both routes with five-year costs.
It is actually the ideal split. Your dealer supplies and mounts equipment, your electrician pulls cables and swaps components, and Apply handles configuration, documentation and ongoing checks remotely, giving both of them precise instructions. Nobody bills you for a long drive.
No. A sensible start is one clearly defined group: seasonal reception staff at a hotel in Tyrol, an accounts team that works from home two days a week, or a small branch without IT of its own. People at an engineering consultancy working in CAD or BIM normally stay on their workstations.
Schemes such as KMU.DIGITAL and digitalisation grants from the federal provinces exist, although their terms change regularly. Whether your project qualifies, and what is required of the adviser, is best confirmed directly with the Austrian Economic Chamber or your province's funding body. We cannot promise that a grant will be approved. We are happy, however, to prepare the quote, scope description and report in a form you can attach to an application.
Through an encrypted remote-support tool with individual accounts and a second authentication factor. Each session is logged and you can cut off access whenever you like. A GDPR data processing agreement is in place before the first connection.
Give us the number of workstations, servers and sites. Within one working day we will suggest a starting point and an estimate of the hours involved.
Your enquiry has arrived
Our reply reaches you within one working day. Outages that leave your staff unable to work are dealt with first.
We could not find that town. Try another spelling, or choose whichever provincial capital lies closest; as everything is handled remotely, you get the same service in all nine Austrian states.
