READY

There is no need to build a cloud edition of your software
And on top of that

Staff no longer have to return to the office

From the road, from a shop, from the warehouse, from home — the same business software simply opens. No more "it only runs on that one PC in the office".

Everyone can work remotely

Every member of staff works in the same environment, on the same screen.

No VPN appliance needed

The cost of maintaining and renewing the VPN goes too, and so does the worry of unauthorised access through it.

REASON

Eight reasons software developers, SIers
and office-equipment dealers choose us

Inside Azure, it is the Windows Server you know

It is a Microsoft Azure environment (Windows Server) dedicated to your customer. You connect over RDP (Remote Desktop) and build, configure and maintain it on the same screen as always. There is no Azure-specific procedure to learn.

No more buying servers or spare parts

One server can run to more than JPY 1.5 million, and adding memory alone can pass JPY 1 million. Order one today and the wait is three months or more. "The lease is up and that one machine is nowhere to be found." All of those worries go away.

"We can no longer propose servers"An office-equipment dealer

A cloud edition with no rewrite needed

The software you have delivered stays exactly as it is: no rewriting, no retraining, and not even the manual has to be redone. What reaches your customer is the same as a cloud edition.

You keep administrator rights

You can set up business software and databases freely. Run installers, register services, schedule tasks — everything you did on-premises, you still do.

Delivered in 3 business days, fast

You rebuild it for the customer and deliver a connection icon — that is all.

Sell it as your own product

And of course you can offer the service to your customers under your own brand

Contracts, invoicing and support stay with you

Your contract and your relationship with the customer do not change

No need to study the cloud

With day-to-day work to get through, there is no time to learn Azure or cloud from scratch. That is what applippli DX Pro is for

ISSUE

Four problems with delivering on-premises — all solvable

Companies that have delivered and maintained on-premises systems keep bringing us the sameconcern.

You order a server and it takes over three months

You cannot promise your customer a replacement date. One machine can cost over JPY 1.5 million. The lease is up and the server is unavailable. The proposal itself stalls.

A replacement part takes six months to arrive

You lend out an old server as a stopgap. When the next one fails, there is no spare left.

Your customer is already suffering for it

You cannot answer "when will it be fixed?". After years of working together, this is the hardest moment.

You want out, but you do not know what to choose

Cloud, AWS, Azure, VM. You have heard the words, but you have never worked with them.

— And yet what you actually work on is the Windows Server you already know.
Right down to connecting over RDP (Remote Desktop) to maintain it, nothing changes.
You do not have to learn the cloud from scratch.

REMOTE

Answer your customers wherever you are

The same maintenance you have always done by connecting to a customer's Windows Server over RDP (Remote Desktop). Even when you are out, without going back to the office, you can handle it on the spot.

Adding users Removing leavers Installing business software Applying updates Adding capacity and specs Changing access rights Investigating and recovering from incidents Preparing a test environment

ICON

An app icon, or
a desktop icon

You decide which one to hand out, based on the person who will use it.

OPTION

Connection icons: one step further

Normally, simply telling your customers how to connect over RDP (Remote Desktop) is all that is needed. Nothing has to change about the way you work today.

That said, applippli can also create icons with the destination, the display settings and even the application to launch already configured.
The person who receives one just double-clicks. This is the part people most often say they had no idea was possible.

* Creating connection icons is a paid option. It is not included as standard.
