Avanquest launches Office Gateway – a hosted, internet based suite of business solutions for SMEs.

Avanquest’s new Office Gateway is the perfect solution for small to medium sized companies wanting to streamline business processes and access the power of leading edge business software with no capital investment.

Via the web, Office Gateway provides affordable access to the power of collaboration, fulfilling the requirements of mobile workers, remote site access and all forms of corporate mobility, with the added benefit of total security.

Office Gateway is easy to use and affordable, providing a personalised portal, which can be branded with a company’s logo and image - a ‘single point of contact’ for employees, clients and project teams, which results in a connected, more organised and effective business environment.

SMEs have the same business needs as larger organisations - Collaboration, eCommerce, Internet marketing, eBusiness, CRM, Document Management etc. but on a smaller scale. The problem is the cost and complexity associated with deploying the solutions in-house.

Office Gateway negates the need to purchase software solutions and the expense of installation, training and additional IT support. The single, Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere, point of access with Office Gateway, via a secure, familiar web browser delivers the full benefits of a total suite of solutions which are bespoke to an organisation.

Users instantly have the benefits of webmail, document library, company directory, sharing of calendars, CRM/ invoicing, to do lists, bookmarks, announcements, Skype integration, SMS email text messaging, news feeds, translator, currency converter and polling feature – A big business product for a Small Business price.

A monthly subscription of Office Gateway is as little as £29.95 a month.

Compare this to the ongoing costs associated with in-house solutions - Software upgrades, investment in the IT infrastructure, software and hardware maintenance and upgrade costs, operating costs associated with system uptime, data backup and integrity, user support and training costs and the benefits of Office Gateway become clear.
