Why the Cloud?
Share data across the business
With Pegasus CIS hosted in the cloud you have access to your data from anywhere, at any time, which means you can query and report on this data on a range of devices. This is ideal when some of the workforce are not based at head office; those who work from home, or at site offices, or travel between sites will have access to project information from anywhere that has an internet connection. This provides better collaboration between multiple sites across
the whole business.
Availability and reliability 24/7
As your existing hardware ages, failures will occur, causing downtime that could impact on your ability to meet customer schedules. Pegasus Business Cloud is UK-hosted in an ISO27001 tier 3 secure data centre, with back-ups to a second UK-based data centre. The hosted servers are mirrored which means that in the event of server hardware failure, the second server immediately takes over so that there’s no interruption or deterioration to the service. In the unlikely event of the primary data centre failing, the secondary centre can be brought online to recover the situation. This type of disaster recovery plan is rarely
available to customers running their own servers and networks, and is one of the key benefits that hosting brings to an organisation.
Security is key
The Pegasus Business Cloud data centres use state of the art security systems to protect your data. Our hosted environment is protected by Juniper Netscreen Firewalls, a line of purpose-built, high-performance security systems designed to protect data centres and large enterprises.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology is used to protect information using Server Authentication and Encryption of the data between your computers and the data centre. We scupulously update the anti-virus and spam filters and we automatically deploy security software updates, making sure that our systems are always protected.
Pay monthly, with no up-front costs
Purchasing Pegasus CIS outright and installing it on your own hardware can mean a large capital outlay impacting your cashflow. If you choose to deploy Pegasus CIS in the cloud, you simply pay a monthly fee that covers the infrastructure, maintenance and back-ups, resulting in significant reduction in the total cost of ownership of your IT real estate.
Integrates with Windows applications
Microsoft Office 2013 is available as part of the hosted solution. This means that data held within Pegasus CIS can be exported into Excel for
further manipulation and analysis. Better still, you can use Pegasus XRL to interactively extract data from Pegasus CIS and import it into Excel in pre-defined formats, to allow QS and project managers to analyse project information in a variety of ways. This provides one of the most powerful reporting systems available to construction companies, and can be
used by anyone in your organisation that is authorised to access the data.
Flexibility to grow
For a growing construction company, scalability is important. When you use a hosted software solution, adding new users, disk space and more applications is quick and simple, supporting your business growth. Pegasus Business Cloud is available to all types of construction businesses, whether main contractors, specialist subcontractors or agencies, providing options to companies of any size who want to realise cost savings, avoid unnecessary capital expenditure and deliver capacity to support growing business needs.
Integrated hosted accounting
If using Pegasus CIS in the cloud, you can extend its functionality by using Opera 3 in the cloud for your payroll and accounting requirements.
