How It Works?
All applications are hosted in an 82,000 sq ft state-of-the-art data center in Southern California thus addressing the growing demand for “offsite” protection of applications and data (Disaster Recovery).
Customers access their applications over a secure SSL-based browser connection.
Because THEODO.COM utilizes the latest presentation technology from Citrix Systems and Microsoft, all applications can be accessed over virtually any connection including 3G wireless. Aapplications perform as fast (if not faster) than if they were loaded on your local PC.
THEODO.COM can be customized with synchronization of email to SmartPhones and Blackberrys, ala carte Outlook Web Access for additional users, follow me phone and voice mail features, and the addition of custom business applications.
The combination of ever-more-abundant bandwidth, increasingly powerful processors, and inexpensive storage is broadening the choices for designing, deploying, and using software: in devices, in computers, on servers in corporate data centers, and on the Internet. Business solutions can be delivered and consumed in all of these ways—either singly or in combination—to provide the best user experience and the most business value. Software as a Service (SaaS)—meaning delivering software over the Internet—is increasingly popular for its ability to simplify deployment and reduce customer acquisition costs; it also allows developers to support many customers with a single version of a product. SaaS is also often associated with a “pay as you go” subscription licensing model.
Microsoft:
Microsoft provides the premier platform for those interested in building SaaS applications. This includes the core platform capabilities, tools, and programs necessary to create rich services based on the SaaS model. This page provides a top-level overview of SaaS on the Microsoft platform, along with information to help differentiate Microsoft offerings and links to more detailed materials.
THEODO.COM is built on Microsoft's Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA), which enables us to provide you a hosted license of Microsoft products on a monthly basis. Microsoft SPLA also provides the following benefits:
- Most Current Product Versions: With SPLA, service providers have access to the most current versions of the products available in the Program for one simple monthly price.
- Flexible Cost Structure: The SPLA offers a monthly usage-based cost. Therefore you pay only for what was used the previous month.
- Pricing Stability: SPLA price changes (if any) will only occur on an annual basis in January.
- Use Rights Protection: The Service Provider Use Rights (SPUR) document details all product use rights for this program. Product use rights are specific to each version and will not change for the duration of the program.
Citrix Presentation Server:
THEODO.COM utilizes Citrix Presentation Server to provide users with secure access to their applications from anywhere using any device or connection. Citrix Presentation Server makes it easy to give all users across the organization – including local and remote employees, branch locations, partners and suppliers – fast, simple and secure access to business-critical applications. With its centralized model, Presentation Server enables IT to implement and deploy applications such as CRM, SFA and ERP much more quickly than if they had to be installed and configured on each computer. And faster access means you’ll start receiving the returns on your software investments that much earlier.
Best performance - Another benefit of Citrix technology is high-performance access to full application functionality, even over Web and wireless connections. In fact, thanks to Citrix’s lower bandwidth demands, performance is consistently as good or better than running software locally.
Strongest security - Citrix solutions are “secure by design,” meaning that comprehensive security is built in, not added after the fact. Citrix Presentation Server strengthens security by keeping applications and data on the server behind the firewall, instead of exposed on the desktop. The small amount of data traveling between server and client is encrypted. And IT can centrally control access based on the user’s role.
Most Flexible Access - In the event of a planned or unplanned business interruption, Presentation Server makes it easy for workers at home or in a temporary office to connect via the Web to a backup server and access applications they need to continue generating revenues.
Lowest cost - Finally, powerful management tools help IT boost efficiency and reduce costs. From our data center, our staff can manage applications, support and train remote users, and monitor and report on the entire system. Instead of spending time and money traveling to different locations, we can accomplish just about every task from the Citrix management console. In short, a Citrix solution allows THEODO.COM to overcome many business challenges and do much more with fewer resources.
