Challenge: Meeting the Growing Demand for Cloud Services
As cloud adoption surged, especially among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), BridgeTech faced an increasing demand for cloud-based data backup and networking services. “In the last year alone, many of our long-time customers have requested cloud services,” said Doug Small, President of BridgeTech Systems. With the cloud rapidly becoming a top priority for SMBs, BridgeTech needed a reliable partner to deliver cost-effective cloud solutions without extensive capital expenditure.
