CloudJumper, a workspace as
a service (WaaS) platform innovator for agile business IT, today
announced that construction industry software leader, HCSS, has
standardized its cloud-based construction software solutions on the
CloudJumper nWorkSpace WaaS platform. A pioneer in heavy construction
software, HCSS leverages CloudJumper to provide the company's HeavyBid,
HeavyJob, and other applications in a hosted environment.
Additionally, HCSS utilizes CloudJumper's platform to deliver complete
IT workspaces that allow customers to access critical business
applications.
HCSS's applications support thousands of construction users across the
United States in streamlining their operations with cloud-based access
to HeavyBid and HeavyJob. The company's software applications help
construction companies better manage their projects from bid to
completion. Prior to CloudJumper, HCSS built an in-house solution to
make HeavyBid and HeavyJob available to its customers via the cloud.
While they were running a successful platform, the company's exponential
growth over a short period of time soon created challenges regarding
scalability and speed of deployment. To address the issue, HCSS chose
the CloudJumper platform with its service-oriented infrastructure to
build a full-featured cloud application software offering capable of
meeting user demand.
"We have been growing tremendously and CloudJumper has been growing with
us which is what we look for in a business partner," said Ketul Parekh,
Cloud Services Manager, HCSS. "This is very strategic technology for
HCSS, requiring a strong partnership to ensure our mutual success.
CloudJumper is always there as a partner, and that is an important part
of their value."
"During our review of alternate vendors, it was clear from the
evaluations that CloudJumper offered the most mature platform," added
Parekh. "The executives and support team at CloudJumper understood what
we needed to meet our goals and worked closely with us to develop the
right cloud solution for our software. Having standardized on the
CloudJumper nWorkSpace platform, the technology has proven itself in
cloud-enabling our applications without the need to redevelop existing
software."
HCSS customers benefit from reduced costs by eliminating the need to
invest capital in new servers or IT staff to support application servers
and associated infrastructure. Applications are deployed in an
enterprise-class environment that includes data backup and redundancy
for data protection and business continuity which greatly simplifies IT
management. The solution also allows HCSS to target smaller customers as
the barriers of entry are lower for deploying the application in a
hosted environment compared to a traditional on-site or self-hosted
model. The automation, ease of deployment, and scalability of nWorkSpace
have been crucial to the solution's success in helping HCSS deploy
software quickly. This has been a win for HCSS and its customers.
CloudJumper markets its solutions through a robust white label program
and simplifies management for partners with its easy-to-use control
panel, a single pane-of-glass provisioning system, allowing for complete
control over customer installations. CloudJumper operates a network of
autonomous data centers, all connected by a highly available fiber-optic
network. From these locations, the company provides cloud computing
solutions with inherent geographical diversity for customers.
"We have made the road to the cloud a simple and cost-effective process
for ISVs seeking a highly scalable platform to bring their software to
customers globally," said JD Helms, president, CloudJumper. "As
illustrated in the case with HCSS, the level of workflow and automation
we provide significantly reduces the complexity and cost of
cloud-enabling entire catalogs of software in a secure, highly reliable
platform."
