Applianz System pre-loaded with Sage BusinessWorks and Sage ACT!

Introducing the Applianz System. The System offers a revolutionary simplification of software for small business. Applianz’s unique technology allows users of Sage BusinessWorks, Sage ACT!, and the BusinessWorks/ACT! link to get running immediately through any existing PC or laptop, with enhanced system performance and at a lower cost of ownership than other upgrade or replacement options. Applianz Systems can support up to 40 users.

With Applianz, the complexities of integrating any new business software applications are removed. Users have the ability to access the system from any PC anywhere in seconds, while being free to upgrade their PCs without worrying about the interactions with important mission critical systems. The Applianz System’s plug-and-play technology enables this without any installation, compatibility, or maintenance hassles.

Key Features:

Our unique pre-loaded plug-and-play approach dramatically reduces the total installation time and cost of installing new applications, or upgrading existing systems. For example, an "average" new system installation of hardware and software into a small business with 10 users on desktop PC's usually takes a couple of days and can take longer. Applianz System products allow up to 10 users to be up and running within 25 minutes. This reduced installation time dramatically reduces labor costs charged to the client.

Add securely connected remote users at any time, from any location. When it becomes time to add a new employee or remote user to your existing business the process will take approximately 3 minutes.

Get optimum performance with your existing PCs or laptops. Users with any PC or laptop using a recent version of Windows may now use Sage BusinessWorks at its full performance, regardless of the performance of their PC.

Applianz System runs ONLY Sage BusinessWorks and Sage ACT!, and other linked applications, like Microsoft Office. It does it perfectly, day in and day out, regardless of what else is happening with the user’s PC. It then let's you transfer files, such as data extracted from BusinessWorks or ACT!, to your own workstation.

Provides an implementation that doesn’t suffer from the normal support issues associated with Microsoft Terminal Server or Citrix Metaframe.

Substantial savings on IT support costs. Users covered by Applianz Support Services can confidently run their Applianz Systems for years with no intervention other than a simple data back-up using the included CDR drive.

With Applianz System performance is at an optimum and the Total Cost of Ownership is lower than other options.

Money back guarantee. Our assurance of your satisfaction. If you are not 100% satisfied, just send your System back.
