www.gobeyondit.com - Rick Crane, CEO of Evolution, announced the launch of GoBeyond IT (www.gobeyondit.com), a managed service technology platform that gives CEOs and IT Managers of small and medium-sized businesses an alternative to traditional in-house IT management, with the reliability of a public utility.

GoBeyond IT gives business owners, on-site staff and remote workers a 24/7/365 desktop environment (e-mail,

calendaring, etc.) with access to the company's information and applications--without the usual problems of installing, maintaining and managing servers. This new managed IT service transforms the high and variable expenses of maintaining servers to a fixed, and affordable, monthly cost.

"The promise of managed IT has been around for years," says Evolution CEO Rick Crane. "Now GoBeyond IT has transformed the concept into an affordable product that is reliable and secure. It's like electricity--you don't have to think about how it works--it's just on!" Off-site managed IT reduces down time and provides the peace of mind that access to a company's information is always available. GoBeyond IT eliminates the need for in-house servers and the expense of technicians to maintain the system.

According to Mr. Crane, "GoBeyond IT is not technology from a technologist's perspective but technology as a tool from the owner's and user's viewpoint." Instead of being bogged down managing technology, it propels CEOs to the next step--to leverage technology and use it as a powerful tool to grow the business. Likewise, it frees IT Managers from mundane tasks of server management, like controlling spam and chasing viruses, to do what they were hired to do: develop IT strategies to reach the company's goals.

GoBeyond IT is the product of three years of research and development with extensive input from CEOs, executives and IT Managers. And through the process of a soft roll-out over the past two years, the company already has several clients already on board.

Crane reports, "Many business owners told us that IT was like learning a foreign language they didn't want to learn--but had to," and that they would welcome a reliable and affordable program that "lets their IT people put technology to work for the organization, instead of spending their days working on technology management."

Business owners and IT Managers and Directors interested in learning more about the time and cost savings of GoBeyond IT can visit www.gobeyondit.com and take the "GoBeyond IT Challenge." The "Challenge" online survey provides owners, executives and IT Managers the resources to do a self-analysis of their current IT situation.
