What “Managed” Really Means

Managed Stone Edge means Stone Edge takes responsibility for the hosted environment so your team does not have to. Instead of asking your staff to manage servers, operating systems, database platforms, access, backup routines, and ongoing maintenance, we provide a complete, fully hosted foundation designed specifically to support your Stone Edge system.

That means less time spent coordinating IT tasks, fewer infrastructure concerns on your end, and a more consistent environment for running mission-critical operations.

What’s Included

Fully Hosted Infrastructure

Your investment includes the infrastructure required to run Stone Edge as a fully hosted solution. You are not separately sourcing, building, or maintaining the environment on your own.

Server and Platform Licensing

Managed Stone Edge includes the key platform licensing needed to support the environment, including SQL Server, Windows Server and operating system licensing, and Microsoft Access licenses. That helps simplify administration and removes another layer of complexity from your team.

Backups and Off-Site Backup Protection

We handle regular backups as part of the hosted environment, including off-site backups to support stronger business continuity and data protection practices. That means your backup strategy is not left to chance or dependent on internal routines being followed consistently. [Source](https://www.stoneedge.com/maintenance-plans/)

Automatic Stone Edge Updates and Patches

Keeping software current is important for performance, stability, and security. Managed Stone Edge includes automatic Stone Edge software updates and patches, helping your team stay current without having to manually coordinate every update step.

Fully Managed Environment

With Managed Stone Edge, Stone Edge handles the hosting-related responsibilities so your team does not have to manage the infrastructure internally. That reduces IT burden and helps create a more stable, more professionally maintained operating environment.

Why Retailers Choose Managed Stone Edge

Stronger Security

A professionally managed, fully hosted environment helps create a more secure foundation for the software your team depends on every day. For businesses that do not want the risk and responsibility of maintaining servers internally, Managed Stone Edge offers a smarter path.

Remote Access Without the Headaches

Your team needs flexibility. Managed Stone Edge makes it easier for authorized users to access Stone Edge remotely, which is especially valuable for multi-location teams, distributed staff, and businesses that need dependable access beyond a single office.

Rapid Support with Minimal Disruption

Because your team is working in a hosted virtual desktop environment, Stone Edge can connect directly when support is needed. That allows us to troubleshoot faster, reduce back-and-forth, and resolve issues with minimal disruption to your operation. For many businesses, that means quicker answers and less downtime when something needs attention.

Less IT Burden on Your Team

Many retailers do not want internal staff spending time on server maintenance, operating system concerns, database upkeep, licensing coordination, or backup management. Managed Stone Edge reduces that burden and helps free your team to focus on work that actually drives the business forward.

Better Business Continuity

Backups, off-site protection, ongoing maintenance, and a professionally managed hosted environment all contribute to a stronger continuity strategy. When Stone Edge is central to your order and fulfillment operation, that added stability matters.

A More Predictable Operating Environment

When infrastructure, licensing, backups, and updates are included together, your business gets a more predictable and easier-to-manage solution. That can help reduce surprises, improve accountability, and make planning easier.

Reduce Hardware and Network Infrastructure Costs

Managed Stone Edge can help lower capital and maintenance costs by eliminating the need to purchase, maintain, and eventually replace expensive in-house servers and supporting internal network infrastructure just to run Stone Edge. Instead of investing in hardware and the internal resources needed to support it, your business can rely on a professionally managed, fully hosted environment built specifically for Stone Edge.

That means there is no additional cost for purchasing and maintaining expensive hardware just to keep your Stone Edge environment running. For many businesses, this reduces upfront technology spending while also removing the ongoing burden of maintaining server equipment and the internal network infrastructure needed to support it.

A Smarter Option Than Managing It Yourself

Running Stone Edge internally can create hidden costs in staff time, infrastructure management, backup oversight, licensing coordination, hardware purchases, network support, and technical risk. Managed Stone Edge helps simplify all of that by giving you a complete hosted environment backed by the Stone Edge team.

For many businesses, the value is not just in where the software is hosted—it is in everything they no longer have to buy, maintain, or worry about.

No internal server management
No need to purchase and maintain expensive servers
No additional cost for server hardware needed to run Stone Edge internally
No need to build or support internal network infrastructure just to run Stone Edge
No separate handling of core server licensing
No need to manage backup routines internally
No manual coordination of Stone Edge software updates and patches
No piecing together multiple vendors to support one environment

Built for Retailers Who Need Reliability

Managed Stone Edge is ideal for businesses that rely on Stone Edge every day and want a fully hosted environment that supports uptime, security, flexibility, and growth. If your business depends on smooth operations, strong access, and dependable support, Managed Stone Edge provides a stronger foundation.

It is especially valuable for retailers that:

Want to move away from in-house servers
Need secure remote access for their team
Do not want internal staff handling infrastructure
Want backups and off-site protection handled for them
Prefer software updates and patches to be managed automatically
Want faster support with direct hosted-environment access
