Cloud Technologies

Cloud Technologies are fueling growth.

Its a broad subject, virtually anything can be done in the Cloud these days but for most companies, collaboration and content distribution are the hottest topics.

A cloud-based infrastructure allows you and your employees to share, edit, and publish documents in a unified system, improve communication, e-mail, increase marketing abilities, and enhance your day-to-day business processes. Getting information to and from the cloud has never been easier or more affordable. Because these services are managed by the experts at EDM Technology, you'll never have to worry about the proper licensing, configuration, migration, maintenance or support.

A cloud-based infrastructure scales with your business, can be easily customized for your specific business needs, and is cost-effective - and if that is not enough, using a cloud-based infrastructure means that even if disaster strikes, you can still access critical files from anywhere.

Vendors like Google Gsuite have good products but they are not suited well for scaling with a company's growth. That is why more and more businesses are turning to Microsoft 365 and Azure cloud services. If you are looking for an expert in cloud technologies, here are our some reasons to consider EDM Automation...

  • Get insight from a Microsoft Certified Gold, Tier One Partner
  • Expert Cloud Consulting
  • Microsoft 365 and Azure strategic planning and project management
