Your server could be your worst nightmare and your luck is running out.

Is your server protected in every way.  Are you aware of the most current federal laws that require you to take all necessary actions in protecting your customers data?  Its a fact that all  businesses have Internet access at their locations.  Older legacy software does not encrypt data leaving your customer data open in view and you are responsible.  It is just a matter of time before your server crashes, natural disaster, or hacker attack.

Hosting your own server requires taking every precaution.  The store operator is required to take all precautions in operating, hosting, and caring for your customers data.  Are you up for it?



Do you operate a server in your store?  Does your current mission critical business software run on your server?  Does your software encrypt your data ?  Does your store have the Internet ?


SMALL BUSINESS RUNNING THEIR OWN SERVERS HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK OF CATASTROPHIC BUSINESS LOSS.  THE LACK OF RESOURCES AND KNOW HOW IN HOSTING, SUPPORTING, AND PROTECTING DATA MAY COST YOU EVERYTHING.



How Much Does your Server Cost Per Year?   From $699 - $6500.00 per year for a single store.  From no protection to full protection (This does not include rebooting down time.)  

High Risk No Environmental Protection

Do you know that you are liable by federal, state and civil law that you must take all necessary precautions in protecting your customers data?



Some of you locate your server under the counter, in a closet, server room, or in a data center.



Who has access to your server ?

Physical access is your #1 risk.
