 E-Logistics
means that you decide on a service provider, then decide
how much of your IT infrastructure you want that provider
to handle: all, or just a portion of it. Desktop, applications,
and servers - an E-Logistics provider should, from a state-of-the-art
data centre, be able to handle it all. You simply turn
on your computer, log in and start working…the provider
takes care of everything else. Such services should be
offered on a per-user, per month basis, which means you
can now predict future IT costs and never again make large
hardware or software purchases.
With our partners, Autoship Systems Corporation provides
such a service. We can handle all your computer technology
needs, continuously upgrade your software applications,
and free you from the hassle of purchasing, installing,
managing and supporting the associated application software.
E-Logistics involves "Thin Client" technology.
The term Thin Client originated with a new generation
of client devices (NCs, Windows Terminals, etc.) that
run 'thin' operating systems locally, as opposed to
the traditional 'at' PC operating systems (Win95, NT,
etc.).
Thin Client technology lets you maximize hardware life.
It enables you to directly emulate a Windows session
running on your server. It also features a roaming user
profile environment, allowing users to access the service
from whichever workstation they use. Users can thus
work from any computer, anywhere.
Via secure Internet connections, workstations can retrieve
needed files and applications from the server. Each
workstation has a simplified work task and no longer
needs to support applications, thus optimizing system
response time and speed. Your power, hardware, and upgrading
requirements are reduced to a minimum; and your performance
and efficiency are no longer dependent on your IT resources.
Without painstaking software upgrades, installations,
or upgrades, you can turn all your attention to using
the software - and you can rest assured that your employees
are always using the most current version.
