FinanSys Cloud

SunSystems Hosting

Hosting designed to scale seamlessly, for the growing needs of your business.

SunSystems is a flexible, feature-rich financial management system which, if deployed, managed and supported correctly, realises significant business benefits. But these advantages are only achieved if the overall business ecosystem is able to deliver expertise in the following areas:

• hardware and infrastructure
• Microsoft operating systems
• backups and disaster recovery
• database management
• provision of SunSystems and associated solutions
• implementation and functional configuration of SunSystems
• proactive maintenance and support of SunSystems and the back office technology and infrastructure.

Launched in 2012, FinanSys Cloud became the first hosting solution dedicated to and optimised for SunSystems. A one-stop provider of all the above, it delivers seamless support and maximum up time, enabling you to run the most important thing for you – your finance department.

FinanSys Cloud provides secure SunSystems hosting and, being a dedicated environment (i.e. a private cloud as opposed to the more common multi-tenanted cloud), eliminates the problem of housing and maintaining computer hardware and the associated infrastructure. FinanSys Cloud is managed by a group of professionals, maintaining the supporting infrastructure, database, system backups, disaster recovery, reporting functionality and software upgrades. A fully managed service, with a single point of contact for the customer.
