Portal Desktop

The OS33 Portal can be thought of as a cross between a corporate intranet and a web desktop that unifies windows and web-based applications to deliver the ideal cloud computing experience.

Everything you need to run your business appears on your screen, very much like how you're working now. But unlike a traditional IT approach, or a traditional plus cloud apps (half-in/half-out), it’s headache-free and works anywhere on any device. If you compare the OS33 Portal Desktop to a simple hosted Windows desktop, there are many clear advantages. To compare, simply click the pages listed to the left.

To get a feel for how the Portal Desktop works, just click on the boxes below. In The User Experience, you can mouse over the page and pop-up text will tell you what each feature does.

In Admin Tools you can see and read about the far ranging administration controls that are built into the Portal Desktop.

If your employees like the look of the iGoogle portal page, they can have their IT housed in the same iGoogle framework--complete with iGoogle widgets. Click on the iGoogle box below and you'll see what we mean.
