Case Study: Jackson-Scott Associates achieves reliable hosted IT, time savings and business continuity with IRIS Software Group (IRIS OpenHosting)

IT management problems consigned to the past, as Jackson-Scott Associates moves to a hosted solution

Jackson-Scott Associates, an eight-strong accountancy practice in Chessington, faced major IT problems when its ageing server failed, costing over 35 working hours to try to resolve and disrupting access to their IRIS Accountancy Suite, IRIS PAYE Master and TASBooks. Already long-term users of IRIS Software Group products, they opted to move to IRIS OpenHosting to eliminate server reliability and routine IT management issues.

IRIS Software Group migrated the practice to its IRIS OpenHosting hosted solution, providing off-site backups, automatic software updates and secure datacentre hosting with remote access for staff. The move was painless and delivered measurable results: Jackson-Scott reports saving “a good couple of hours every week” on routine IT management, improved business continuity and flexibility for home and client-visit working, and greater peace of mind.
