Background
Desert Tree Farm, a new cloud computing convert, is a long-standing Arizona wholesale manufacturer and supplier of desert adapted shrubs, trees and groundcovers as well as conventional ornamentals. Their specialty is providing trees, shrubs and groundcovers that are both water conserving and climate adapted, keeping their promise to continue to “grow plants for Arizona’s future”. Desert Tree Farm also holds the first patent on a plant in the state of Arizona and has continued to develop many new plant cultivars that have been incorporated into the Southern Arizona Landscape.
Challenge
“We were struggling with outdated software and hardware which caused everything to run slower,” said Christine Augustine, the company’s owner. “The internet would shut down frequently and interrupted business which meant loss of revenue.” Desert Tree Farm reached out to VyonCloud to address the issues they were having.
Results
VyonCloud helped migrate Desert Tree Farm’s system, including QuickBooks Desktop, to the Application Cloud Solution. VyonCloud’s “take care of everything” promise helped to make the transition smooth with little down time.
Desert Tree Farm realized “savings almost immediately” in downtime alone according to Augustine. 99% up-time reliability began to help them achieve business objectives with less frustration.
They also learned they would be saving the expense of purchasing a new server as well as updates and maintenance fees associated with their software. With the Application cloud-based solution, Desert Tree Farm also benefits from off-site storage, backups and a hosted environment that is continually monitored to ensure data is secure from external threats as well as the predictability of a low monthly fee which has helped their bottom line.
Application Cloud
VyonCloud offers secure access to applications such as QuickBooks Desktop, Drake Tax Solutions, Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, Sage ACT!, Lacerte Tax, Maxwell Systems, XactWare Xactimate, EZ BIZ Office, and CYMA Account & Payroll to name a few.
