Swizznet: Facilitating Smooth Transitions to the Cloud
Bob Hollander, President, and CEOSwizznet enables businesses to leverage the applications that their operations run on from the cloud. The company has pioneered ways to deliver the same on-premise experience that clients expect without changing their familiar Sage and QuickBooks software. “This is an important differentiation for those who need the benefits of the cloud without migrating platforms or retraining staff,” adds Bob Hollander, President, and CEO, Swizznet. Part of the secret is allowing businesses to bring today’s top accounting-related applications and integrations to their Swizznet experience, so their on-site solution operates the same in the cloud. Swizznet can do this because the company enjoys strong relationships and interoperability with those 3rd Party application vendors.
In a market that already has a multitude of organizations enabling businesses to shift to the cloud, Swizznet stands out owing to its unique approach of ensuring that its clients do not have to change the way they do business. Swizznet remains a preferred partner for many as it utilizes state-of-the-art, industry-leading technology to build an enterprise-class platform for both the back-end systems that host accounting and business software and keep them safe to the front-end system for ease-of-use. Swizznet can have servers spun-up, prepped, apps integrated, and software setup the same day.
The firm’s systems are highly reliable, enterprise-grade, and maximize availability and uptime. Hence, it ensures increased functionality and improved user experience over conventional ways of working with remote desktop. “We automate things so that clients don’t experience too much change or confusion as they move to the cloud,” adds Hollander, elaborating on the company’s core technology. One of its key differentiators is the overlay of Citrix or Cloud Jumper over the typical Microsoft Remote Desktop access many providers use. This added level of advanced technology delivers an incredible boost to usability making the client experience like the desktop environment they are used to.
