Capitex Finanssystem can provide expert knowledge around our own software and our own hosting. We are generalists when it comes to support and consultation regarding hosting on own server and how to setup an effective environment for application/user management, deployment, operations and monitoring. The expert knowledge in this area should be provided by the hosting company. Before we can give general cosultation around your hosting setup there is a couple of questions we need to have answered to be able to provide good consultation. 

The better tools you have and the better you knowledge is in effective hosting the better the hosting will be. We are not able to give consultation in setting up a brand new general effective hosting environment that is not allready in place and you have no expert knowledge in. If you don't want to worry about anything of this you let us do the hosting and we will provide the software as as service to you.
