Avanta Partners with ThinkGrid for Low-Cost Serviced Office IT

Regus isn’t the only serviced office giant forging strategic alliances. Avanta Managed Offices has inked a deal with ThinkGrid that aims to help businesses moving into serviced office space avoid a large capital investment in IT hardware and software.

ThinkGrid offers hosted business IT services from the cloud on an on-demand basis. That means businesses don’t have to make large up front investments in PCs, servers and supporting software licenses, or dedicate time and resource to managing IT.
