VARs collaborate to combine expertise and simplify the cloud for customers

VARs 2e2and K-Cloud have paired up to help customers take the hassle out of cloud computing.

The partnership will see the two firms offer professional services companies the opportunity to buy all IT hardware, software, applications and support services under one contract, and to spread the cost on a monthly basis.

Malcolm Simms, chief executive of K-Cloud, said: “Professional service firms face a number of challenges and right now these firms need to be able to concentrate on the job in hand and not be distracted by the burden of keeping IT systems up-to-date, dealing with numerous suppliers and the ever-increasing costs of maintaining the latest technology.

“2e2’s entrepreneurial spirit and positive attitude towards partnerships provided K-Cloud with a range of support that could not be achieved with any other IT company.”

Ciaran Cosgrave, managed services director at 2e2, said: “K-Cloud’s in-depth knowledge of the legal and professional services market and its approach to customer experience complimented 2e2’s expertise in datacentre and infrastructure management and its 15-years' experience of systems management.

“The partnership will allow us both to become market leaders of SaaS solutions in the UK, and we very much look forward to growing this partnership with K-Cloud.”
