Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud Select independenceIT’s Total Freedom Workspace to Power Their Cloud Computing Solutions

ALLENTOWN, Pa. & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--independenceIT™ (iIT), provider of the complete cloud workspace, today announced at MSPWorld 2012 that its Total Freedom™ Workspace solution has been selected by Australia and New Zealand-based providers of cloud solutions, Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud. With iIT, these companies are now able to provide their customers with a complete cloud computing solution, all hosted from their secure Australian and New Zealand based infrastructure.

“Every organization has at least one key application that is, for the most part, only relevant to their industry”

Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud began as Nous Factory PTY LTD, providing hosted MYOB accounting software, but soon transformed into cloud services providers, delivering mission critical business applications to small and medium enterprises (SME) in the Asia-Pacific region. As their businesses grew, customers began to request that they support other key business applications in the cloud. It was clear they needed to be able to provide a complete solution to customers—one where custom and niche applications could easily be moved to the cloud and would seamlessly integrate with out-of-the box applications such as Microsoft Office and MYOB. To fully achieve these goals, Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud turned to independenceIT.

“We had worked with partners to integrate applications in our cloud platform before—and nothing worked as intended,” said Colin J. Murfett, FED, Australian Cloud. “That all changed with independenceIT—their expertise and technology allowed us to integrate applications within hours. They’ve been great to work with, and their technical support team has been able to quickly handle everything I’ve thrown at them since day one.”

As a part of its reseller and partner programs, iIT gives partners such as Australian Cloud powerful tools to help manage users and the overall cloud environment. independenceIT’s exclusive Freedom Cloud Control Panel™ enables partners to easily manage and configure new user accounts, choosing between pre-configured cloud desktops or custom profiles with unique applications and access. In addition, the company’s Freedom Desktop Operations Console™ provides partners with the choice between tier-one support for passwords, email configuration or “shadow” support services. iIT is also dedicated to providing comprehensive product training on all workspace solutions, support for the Control Panel and Operations Console, as well as other customizable levels of tier-one support.

With iIT, Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud now have the tools and experience to provide virtually every combination of business application produced for the Microsoft Windows platform. Their customers also benefit from the seamless integration of many Linux and Unix applications delivered and managed alongside their Microsoft counterparts.

“Every organization has at least one key application that is, for the most part, only relevant to their industry,” said Colin J. Murfett, FED, Australian Cloud. “By teaming with independenceIT, we have been able to expand our offering to encompass everything customers could want—from standard out-of-the-box software to custom and niche applications. The strength, flexibility and reliability of independenceIT’s Total Freedom Workspace gives us a true competitive advantage.”

iIT’s complete cloud workspace enables Australian Cloud’s and Kiwi Cloud’s customers to rapidly transition away from traditional IT and quickly realize the cost savings and operational advantages of cloud computing. Australian Cloud and Kiwi Cloud have helped several top companies in the Asia-Pacific region gain secure, anytime access to critical business applications and data, lower costs and establish a modern IT system that will grow and expand as they do.

“IT services companies across the globe are realizing that they need a strong, effective, complete cloud computing services offering in order to meet their customers’ expanding business needs ,” said Anthony Whitton, CEO and Chairman of the Board, independenceIT. “independenceIT’s world-class cloud platform enables providers in any geography or industry to instantly gain a cloud services offering—and quickly roll it out to their customers.”
