Exponential-e has linked up with IT service provider, Intermedia in a collaboration that combines Exponential-e's desktop solution with Intermedia's business applications to provide a Virtual Office in the Cloud, delivered as a service to any device and from any location.
The cloud network provider's Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) proposition was enhanced following research that found 72% of business professionals struggle with their company's flexible working policy due to technology issues.
In total, six in 10 of those surveyed admitted that they would be more likely to take advantage of flexible working if IT was better.
"Just 1% of the business professionals that we surveyed are satisfied by their existing work/life balance," said Lee Wade, CEO at Exponential-e.
"However, 62% think that this could be improved if they had more access to flexible working.
"Providing access to solutions that enable a more versatile working experience but don't require the business to invest vital resources into managing a complex IT estate is key for today's organisations.
"Our relationship with Intermedia enables us to combine hosted desktops with cloud applications to deliver a scalable Virtual Office in the Cloud that organisations don't have to worry about maintaining."
Using Exponential-e's wholly owned 100 Gigabit Ethernet Network, businesses will be able to run desktop infrastructures in a virtualised environment.
As part of the offering, Exponential-e will also offer companies an uncontended, private connection to Intermedia's Email, Security, Mobility, Archiving, File Share and Collaboration services.
Richard Walters, General Manager for Intermedia EMEA added: "All too often we see businesses spending excessive amounts of time and money on outdated internal computer systems.
"With Office In The Cloud, businesses can pay per month, per user and operate from any device with an internet connection, avoiding the need for any high initial outlay while providing the flexibility, support and peace of mind that all organisations need."
The offering will also support SMBs that need computing resources which can be scaled or contracted to support business needs and future growth.
