I've won business over competing firms because of where Xvand puts me in the technology world. It has allowed me to focus on something other than systems and information technology.

I'm a CEO who doesn't understand or care about IT, why should i get involved?
IT is shifting. From a necessary business expense to a function that plays an integral role in the business operations. Business conditions and technology are evolving at a pace never seen before. The organizations that adapt quicker to these changes will succeed. As a high-ranking officer, you need to know that when it comes time for your business to expand or merge, your technology will be a catalyst - not an impediment - to your future growth. IsUtility® allows you to seamlessly adapt to changing business conditions - without worrying about fluctuating costs or market conditions. Click here to view the business benefits.

Wouldn't it be more expensive to have a third party to do what i already do in house?
No - as long as you plan on staying in business for years to come. On the surface, the purchase price of equipment might appear more economical. "I don't pay that much for technology" is a statement we commonly hear. Then a virus strikes. Or a server goes down. As these problems become more prevalent, the costs of an in-house IT system become increasingly larger and more difficult to predict. You end up spending thousands on troubleshooting problems - and then the time comes to upgrade the entire system again. It's a vicious circle that most businesses aren't prepared for or don't care to deal with. This is why we suggest you "break free" and leave the responsibility, costs and headaches to us.

Can I get the benefits of IsUtility® from other IT solutions?
Unlikely. There is a hodgepodge of IT solutions out there - from remote-access solutions to hosting services - that when pieced together might give you the benefits of IsUtility®. But each comes with its own point of contact, bill and headaches that occur when multiple vendors point the blame at one another. It's simply not worth the cost or headaches. IsUtility® rolls all the benefits of the latest technologies into one simple IT solution, with one point of accountability - for one predictable monthly fee.

I already have an IT infrastructure, why should I switch?
In some cases, if it "ain't broke" there's no reason to switch. Yet. As one who has already invested in an IT infrastructure you realize how much it costs to maintain and upgrade it. When new viruses or other malicious code break out, you may have to spend countless dollars more to cleanup or repel the possible infections. IsUtility® replaces these uncertainties with a flat monthly cost that you can predict and plan for.

Will I lose any control or decision making power with IsUtility®?
Absolutely not. Think of IsUtility® as your 24/7 on demand IT staff, dedicated to providing your company with the highest level of support. You make the decisions that affect your company and we'll conform the technology to meet your business objectives. You control the data. We manage everything for you.

I like the idea of Fortune-500 hardware, but what if I'm with the software I have?
In most instances, IsUtility® supports all software versions as long as the vendor still supports them. You can stay on that version of Office for as long as you feel comfortable.

How quickly can I get IsUtility® fully-implemented?
If you already have an Internet connection at your office you can be up and running on the IsUtility® system as quickly as 72 hours from signing the contract. The implementation process depends on your specific needs. Once you sign with IsUtility®, we review your business and technology needs and coordinate an implementation date with your management personnel. Your data and applications are then migrated to our datacenter over a weekend so not to disrupt your employees or workflow. The system is tested and configured to ensure that everything is working as it should. The familiar Windows desktop and interface enable a more smooth training process for your employees, and our certified technical personnel are on-site to assist users with any questions or issues.
