TriSys Remote Desktop as a Service - Key Benefits
Francisco Janes • 25 November 2020
The TriSys cloud remote desktop as a service (DaaS) for recruitment agencies
As you may already know, the TriSys Cloud Remote Desktop Service was the world's first cloud-hosted recruitment agency software database solution.
Thanks to this breakthrough, recruitment agencies no longer had to purchase and maintain expensive in-house IT systems, therefore embracing financial flexibility and mobility nowadays called "work from anywhere".
What is the TriSys Remote Desktop service?
- A dedicated per-user cloud-hosted computer running Windows 10 (or newer) with powerful hardware specifications designed for best performance
- A flexible monthly per-user subscription allowing you to scale your investment as necessary
- Using a shortcut on their computers/devices or even a web browser, recruitment consultants log into their dedicated cloud hosted remote desktop where they can use the latest version of applications such as Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and more (including line of business applications such as payroll software and more)
- All data is fully hosted in the TriSys cloud, both increasing the security of your data as well as reducing the risk exposure associated with staff keeping sensitive business data on their own computers/devices
- A convenient solution for businesses with little or limited IT support services looking for a combined recruitment CRM solution and a managed cloud desktop service where every existing and new consultant can have a cloud remote desktop configured in seconds
- A solution which does not require users to have powerful computers, hence eliminating the need to purchase/renew expensive computers and software
- Fully integrated with Microsoft 365, also allowing you to back up your data into the Microsoft OneDrive cloud
- Works on any device (Windows, Apple, Tablets and Mobiles)
- Supports multiple screens, local peripherals including printers, scanners and more
- Includes transparent automatic updates, modern antivirus/antimalware solution and full daily backups
What are the key benefits?
- Convenience: the fastest way to deliver every member of staff a ready to use computing environment including TriSys Recruitment Software
- Flexibility: pay monthly based on how many users are using the service, scaling your spend as required (pay only for what you use)
- Security: all your data is stored in the TriSys Cloud, reducing the risk associated with staff storing business data on their work or personal devices
- Tax deductible: as an operational expenditure, the TriSys Remote Desktop service is fully tax deductible
How does it work?
- Users download the TriSys Remote Desktop shortcut onto their devices (or connect via the TriSys Support portal where preferable)
- Every morning, whether working in the office, at home or on the road, users enter their TriSys Cloud username and password and connect to the service
- The remote desktop session opens as shown in the example below, ready to use (just as if the cloud remote desktop was your actual local computer)

The TriSys cloud hosted remote desktop is an ultra-modern solution used by hundreds of recruitment agencies worldwide, based on industry-standard Microsoft technology. Our customers enjoy the benefits of a modern cloud computing experience without the costs typically associated with procuring, designing and maintaining such solutions internally or using their privately managed clouds/datacenters.

There is a well-known phrase in most versions of The Bible: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth". I would like to apply the same logic to the future world dominated by artificial intelligence. AI will indeed transform humanity, and whether the current large-language-models (LLM), or their successors, are capable of human reasoning or fall short, then there is no doubt that AI will have a transformational effect on many industries, especially software. Today's current flavour-of-the-month in the software industry is 'vibe-coding', where a developer can instruct any one of the popular AI LLM's to write the 'low hanging fruit' of software applications (mainly web sites) in minutes rather than the traditional days, weeks or months of their forefathers. Indeed these 'apps' look amazing, however the 'vibe-coder' will spend hours iterating and testing this code, adding features until it approaches, but never reaches, perfection. Imagine then that these AI generated apps make it into the hands of professional software testers, whose quality assurance (QA) processes protect the business from calamitous rogue software, and ensure that their Line-of-Business (LoB) software provides a real benefit to the corporation. This rigorous approach will typically send bug reports back to the dev-team who will no-doubt feed these into the AI LLM to generate new versions. At the same time, other business specialists will also have additional urgent requirements, will feed these into the dev-team who will increasingly hope and pray that their advanced 'prompt-engineering' skills will ensure that the AI LLM will understand the nuances of the world of human business. At some point during this increasingly complex lifecycle, the AI LLM will 'lose the plot' possibly for technical reasons e.g. token memory limitations, or for financial reasons e.g. AI vendor wants more money to 'keep the lights on'. It may start 'hallucinating' i.e. start generating code which breaks all the previously tested features, or indeed be unable to understand the complexity of the beast it and it's prompt-engineers have created. If, and only if, a critical LoB app emerges from this 'brave new world', then who is the master now? It is of course the QA team whose testers are now the gatekeepers for the adoption of the AI generated LoB app by their business. It is they who will ultimately inherit the apps generated by AI and the dev-team, and arguably they who understand the business processes so well that they will be the ones to 'vibe-code' the next versions, or successors, to these AI generated apps.

We are planning some very exciting innovations and enhancements to the products and services of TriSys Business Software in 2024: TriSys Apex 2024 Our cross-platform web browser recruitment CRM was released in 2014 and uses the TriSys cloud platform to process all its data and functionality. Customers with any type of computer, tablet or phone can access their recruitment data and conduct sophisticated workflows to drive their business forward, wherever they are and at any time. We plan a number of innovations this year, including the port of the temps booking sheet, and integration of AI. TriSys 2024 The latest version of our premiere windows desktop recruitment CRM is now available to all existing customers. This application was first released in 1992 and is a rock-solid enterprise grade recruitment business app. For customers on the 2023 version, the application will automatically upgrade. All new features will be documented in the coming months. Our SDK is still the only recruiting software toolkit for Microsoft .Net. TriSys for the Microsoft Store was delivered using Visual Studio 2022. Flexiva We have devised a concept we are calling Flexiva, hosted at flexiva.co.uk , which is a flexible visual app builder for enterprise cloud business software, utilising the new breed of no-code or low-code tools. Flexiva will be be a sophisticated app builder, initially housed within TriSys Apex , which will evolve to replace the existing Developer Studio , by providing higher level tools to allow business people, rather than programmers, to construct powerful line-of-business applications which connect to any ReST API. TriSys Cloud Platform Our cloud infrastructure platform was conceived and built in 2002. It has grown and matured to comprise literally hundreds of cloud servers distributed across the planet. Customers use our platform to store and process their large corporate data assets, via our software products and services. Expect more integration with world class web services, including artificial intelligence, through our Web API . Third Party Integrations The TriSys Recruitment Software Platform enables unlimited integration flexibility including standard and complex integrations across multiple popular third party industry suppliers enabling you to use TriSys as a process hub offering a single source of truth. We have recently built a sophisticated integration with Zapier , and this year we will fully integrate with additional best-of-breed third party business platforms including artificial intelligence (AI). TriSys Mobile Suite Recruiters can access their recruitment database from their tablet and phone by installing our app , however the mobile landscape is changing with a new class of 'app-builders' utilising low-code or no-code technologies. Due to the power and flexibility of the TriSys Web API, Recruitment agencies can cost-effectively commission their own dedicated and branded mobile app to engage with their clients and candidates. A new truly-native version of TriSys mobile will be released to the stores in Q1 2024. TriSys Web API Almost all our recent innovations centre around our web application programming interface which provides a fully secure set of programmable end-points not just into the TriSys Cloud Platform, but also to a host of third party global ecosystems, to provide customers with unlimited flexibility to deploy a range of sophisticated recruiting business benefits. Web API plans for 2024 are to add mobile app-specific functionality allowing the TriSys platform to reach a wider range of customers by utilising AI. TriSys Platformix Five years ago, we introduced a website builde r technology utilising a mix of cloud platforms, which we called Platformix . This is the successor to Web Jobs in that it is a full recruitment website content management system (CMS) with very tight integration with the TriSys recruiting database, plus state of the art blogging, SEO compliancy, and analytics. We will continue to invest in building TriSys Widgets to allow our customers to build high engagement web portals. We will also continue integration with Stripe to allow Gig-Economy services to be built for our customers. TriSys Open Source We now have full GitHub source code integration with all our software build tools, meaning that TriSys is now the only commercial recruitment software vendor to offer an open-source model. From 1st January 2024, existing customers are able to license TriSys' source code to build their own highly-specific recruitment CRM app for desktop, mobile and web. We are also planning to partner with other organisations to build complex line of business applications for all industries, based upon the thousands of man-years development and testing which has been invested in the TriSys Platform code base. TriSys Remote Desktop The original TriSys ASP was launched 22 years ago , and comprises a windows hosted desktop running on our cloud. Last year we launched a Windows 11 version with full compatibility with Microsoft Office 365 allowing customers to have full control over the apps they can install. This year we will continue to support all Microsoft supported versions of Windows.
