9SEPTEMBER 2021balance users, and the user experience is better than ever. This also allows for faster recovery if a profile becomes corrupt ­ blow away the session host and redeploy with no interruption to the actual server. Alongside, SharePoint and OneDrive are optimized with this platform and are truly ready for prime time. "Add in the Teams integrations and users have great flexibility to access data, share, and collaborate," says Catherine. "So why are we different? We have automated and standardized the deployment of the Azure-specific components. This saves time when deploying, and minimizes mis-configurations. When it comes to SharePoint deployment, we've been called in numerous times because a company has been brought to their knees during a migration due to poor planning, poor structural changes, and a misunderstanding of the process. We have flexibility to meet the client's needs with knowledge of how to deploy successfully for all parties." As time collection needs and state compliance become more burdensome, Syscon anticipates growth across the U.S. for their field time collection software, F.I.T. System, which integrates with Sage 100 Contractor, the construction-specific accounting software. "Most construction workers have cell phones these days, and the historical process of calling in time, taking pictures of a hand-written time card with a cell phone, or finding a fax machine in a construction trailer just doesn't cut it. Whether it's illegible information or wrong jobs, the need to verify the person is really at the job site working, or compliance with state mandates, construction companies are going to need to move off paper timesheets," explains Catherine. "The next thing they'll run into is the frustration if clunky connections with their accounting software. Since we know the field's needs as well as the payroll and owner's, we can leverage solutions that are fully integrated, saving time and headaches for each role in the payroll process." ITOwere able to get in front of the attack and keep their accounting department working and their internal systems running separately from the infected files. We were able to eliminate the virus and clean their data ­ no ransom needed to be paid and no critical data was lost." According to Catherine, many businesses face aging hardware and end-of-life software; replace or move to the cloud? The Azure architecture is an excellent location for business software that needs to run on a server operating system, for instance, accounting and project management software, industry-specific tools, and similar. The security and speeds just can't be beaten when compared to data centers. These platforms are also optimized to work with SharePoint and OneDrive, something that just wasn't smooth and convenient only a few years ago; so much has changed.
