Summit Hosting is one of the largest managed cloud solutions providers in the U.S. and Canada. With robust offerings for businesses in the construction industry, our team of dedicated professionals can help you move your business to the cloud with ease.
In the construction industry, moving to the cloud is an expected step, one that creates new opportunities for connection and communication, but also enables growth potential. Our team can help you make the transition seamless, ensuring your company is able to work anytime, anywhere, and with the very best reliability and security available.
Read a Customer Success Story
Security is an ongoing concern for every business. Today, the cloud gives us the freedom to navigate documents and data anywhere, but it can create risks. Our team works to cut those risks by providing comprehensive cloud hosting security designed for the construction industry.
One of the ways Summit’s cloud hosting enables improved security is by providing you with a dedicated server. You will not share a server with any other company. That amplifies your security while reducing the risk that your business may be at risk of data loss.
Making the decision to move towards cloud hosting is one that offers countless benefits. Our team can ensure that your transition to Sage hosting or hosted QuickBookscompleted in a streamlined, efficient manner that reduces risk and minimizes the learning curve. Why choose this hosting for your construction business? There are plenty of reasons.
It Saves You Money
Cloud hosting can often reduce your costs overall. It promotes a lean IT infrastructure, minimizing risk for your operation and maximizing opportunity. You do not have to invest in memory, storage, or servers any longer. You also save money (and stress!) by no longer worrying about the installation of an IT system. In your business, cost savings makes sense. Hiring someone to manage your IT needs as you grow doesn’t always work well.
Even better, there are no costly software upgrades to worry about; we take care of those. You can focus on paying a single price – and one that is probably more affordable than what you’re paying right now.
Make Remote Access a Reality
Another key advantage that cloud hosting from Summit Hosting offers is remote access support. As you are in the field, working with customers and moving from one meeting to the next, you need reliable access. That’s something QuickBooks cloud hosting offers. Access your plans, documents, and contracts anywhere, while being confident that security is in place.
For construction projects with collaboration needs, you can also minimize the risk of concerns. Authorized users can access the cloud using their device, editing and making changes on the go, moving your projects forward faster.
Manage Billing and Payroll Efficiently
With Sage cloud hosting, you can manage many of the needs of your business in an effortless manner, including billing and payroll. You’ll no longer need to head into the office to complete payroll. With several options available to you, including Sage accounting software and QuickBooks construction accounting software, you can find the right fit for the size and scope of your operations.
Communicate Reliably
For many businesses, communication across teams – from subcontractors to clients – is one of the most complex components of the construction industry’s operation. With cloud hosting solutions, you can manage clients, subcontractors, partners, and anyone else with ease. To make things even better, you can create a record of conversations. You never have to remember every detail. You can even link file sharing in, which means it’s easy to send invoices, forms, client reports, and even permits.
Find Support, At Any Time
We do everything we can to ensure you are ready to go when it comes to operations. That means providing you with 24/7 support. Let our team resolve your big problems quickly so that your business meeting is never on the line. That type of efficiency can make all of the difference during a crucial moment.
Grow with Ease
One of the nice features about using our dedicated server cloud hosting solutions for construction is that we offer as-you-need-it flexibility. That means you can see better performance without limitations on your bandwidth – you’ll never share resources with anyone else. This can significantly improve your performance and ensure you never have to worry about being unable to connect – that costs your business time and money. As your company grows, you can add more resources to it. You can integrate more managed applications for your business needs as well.
