About Us

About Office on the Cloud

We are a strategic, professional consulting firm and systems integrator with deep expertise across a number of industries. We help our clients launch Internet based operations that are not only less costly, but more importantly, increasingly more effective than what was previously possible. There has been significant discussion about the new economy since the Internet first impacted our collective consciousness well over ten years ago. The new economy is now maturing and its real implications are starting to reverberate globally. Entire industries are disappearing and others are poised to undergo unprecedented change. Everything from entertainment to politics has been impacted. The most profound changes to our economy have yet to occur. Innovate or die is no longer a mantra that applies exclusively to the the technology industry. Historically protected industries will not be spared. Both the healthcare and legal industries will undergo structural transformations that few ever thought were possible. Why? Because the forces of "globalization" have created a new economic order that will relentlessly apply pressure on all industries. We all need to become more effective and more efficient. We all need to deliver more value for each dollar a customer spends. Our Approach We help clients move their organizations online by using proven service providers and by creating a viable road map based on our knowledge of their "as is" environments. There are no "shrinkwrap" solutions that will magically solve the complex competitiveness challenges most organizations face. It is only through the combination of people, process and platform that robust solutions emerge. Technology alone will not solve your competitiveness issues. It can only enable (or hinder) your ability to do so. Web 2.0 technologies are powerful enablers but their power is latent. We leverage that power on behalf of clients by helping them implement the relevant use cases within a respective vertical, and by pointing out the possibilities of implementing others. Our Philosophy We don't subscribe to a big bang top down approach. We believe that sustainable solutions can only be built through collaboration. Therefore, we do not sell solutions but rather enable them. We help clients help themselves by relentlessly focusing on knowledge transfer throughout the implementation process. The power of Web 2.0 technologies lies in their use. For us, the ultimate measure of a successful engagement is how effectively we taught clients to teach themselves. The essence of what we believe in is this: a solution is not a destination but a journey. That journey starts with rethinking, rebuilding and rebooting.
