Why Move to the Cloud?
Your property management business is growing, and you’re being faced with the need to increase your mobility and find a way to make your software fit your ever changing needs. If you’ve tried out other mobile or online-based apps, you’re probably disappointed by their lackluster ability to function as if the software were locally installed on your device or machine. Don’t let your frustration get the best of you. There’s a good chance that the cloud is the solution that you’ve been looking for.
Multi-Location Access
For a community manager, there’s no bigger benefit to the cloud than the ability to access your data from any internet-enabled location. You’ll be given quick and easy access to your software, anytime, anywhere with an internet connection. You’ll experience more efficient and effective collaboration with simultaneous accessibility available to multiple users, increasing client satisfaction with remote support, reducing your travel time & expenses and increasing your efficiency through live access to company files.
The hard working members of the property management industry know better than anyone else that your job site is your office. You need the ability to get work done from anywhere – be it an apartment complex, your home office, or in your car while en route to the next property.
Device Compatibility
Anywhere access and device compatibility go hand in hand. What good is the ability to access your software if it doesn’t work with your device? With Trapp Technology’s cloud solutions, you can log in to your software from your PC, MAC, Android Tablet, or iOS device such as iPad or iPhone. You have the freedom to access all of your property management information anywhere with an internet connection! You will have full featured access to your software whether you are at the office, at home, or on site.
When you’re on the go, you need a fully capable solution that gives you access to your data in its entirety. Unlike the currently available apps, you will have access to your software just as if you have it on any other computer – no app needed.
Using the cloud while going from property to property provides managers with new lines of communication – office and field staff are better connected, ensuring that everyone has the project information they need, when and where they need it, to move projects forward and make well-informed decisions.
Lower Costs
It’s no secret that pooling configurable computing resources cuts costs. Due to reduced cap-ex investments, getting started in the cloud costs significantly less than building your own in-house server from the ground up.
Building and maintaining a server is a costly endeavor. The reality is that small and medium sized businesses don’t often have thousands of dollars lying around to invest in a new server, let alone the resources to manage and maintain it. With Trapp Technology, we maintain and tend to our servers – you just sit back and use them. That’s the beauty of the cloud.
Peace of Mind
We all want our data to be safe — that’s a given. But creating a safe haven for your data is a costly, time consuming effort. Once your data fortress is built, then you have to maintain it. At least you used to. Now you can just outsource the whole endeavor and call it a day. You will no longer have to worry about backing up your data. We run backups nightly, in addition to a 7 day rolling back up. Your data is housed in a certified, SAS 70 type II, and SSAE 16 SOC Type II, Tier III data center.
What about disaster recovery? After a storm hits any part of our country, many businesses are left wondering what they would do if a force of nature came knocking at their door. The devastation can be felt for months beyond the actual disaster, and businesses need to be prepared. If your servers are damaged, you’ll be unable to work – even if you’re nowhere near the disaster. The best plan of defense against a disaster is to not be in the projected path, right? Our data center location in Phoenix, Arizona gives your data an advantage because of our low risk of natural disasters.
When your software is on the cloud, it means you have one less thing to worry about when preparing for weather-related incidents. Your data will be out of harm’s way, and you can rest assured that once you’re ready to get back to work, your software and files will be waiting for you. Don’t wait for your data to fall victim to the next megastorm like Hurricane Sandy or Katrina — take action to safeguard your important files.
Flexibility
Our cloud solution is truly one-of-a-kind. No two clouds are exactly alike, and your cloud solution can be built to fit your precise needs. When you have your own dedicated cloud server that is completely customized and completely scalable, you’re free to really make the cloud your own. You can never outgrow the cloud. Need more space? It’s there when you need it. Need to downsize? It will just take a phone call.
The flexibility doesn’t end there. If you’ve ever asked a cloud hosting provider to host your third party application in the cloud, only to be disappointed at their refusal, then it’s time to sit back and be amazed. We can do it. Many businesses have the need to host a complimentary application in the cloud along with their primary software; apps that do things like process payroll, keep track of inventory, print checks, and the like. Without these apps in the cloud, a company’s process wouldn’t be as seamless and streamlined. Trapp Technology has gone the extra mile to bring you a top-notch cloud experience.
Reliability
When you work online, you rely on a stable connection — if your internet connection is sub-par, you’re going to be frustrated, lose momentum, and have to explain down time to your clients. Trapp Technology has worked tirelessly to develop and build a customizable internet mesh that provides an incredibly reliable and constant internet connection geared towards businesses and enterprises. We provide our clients with a 99.5% uptime guarantee, and in order to make those big promises, we had to take the road less traveled. We didn’t want to rely on a system that anyone else had created, so we did what other great innovators do: we built our own. Traditionally, cloud providers have one or two ISPs to handle their traffic. These ISPs are structured in a way that if the primary ISP goes down, the second one serves as a backup. Trapp Technology’s ultra-redundant mesh utilizes up to four ISPs. The difference is that we don’t have the additional ISPs as a backup — all four run simultaneously so that you receive constant connectivity at the highest possible speeds.
