EXP leverages iland, now 11:11 Systems, cloud to reduce costs and support business growth

EXP, a SaaS provider, was experiencing growth and needed a sound IT strategy to handle it. The company began investigating whether a move to the cloud would satisfy its needs both technically and economically. Initially, most customers wanted their data local; hosted software was less common. However, a majority of customers were actively looking for cost savings and wanted their IT teams to focus on their core business and the operations that support them. This began driving customers to select a hosted model. The change in customers’ preference meant the company needed to grow its datacenter to meet escalating business demands. Historically the datacenter was hosted at a third-party site, but the company’s team operated it. EXP, like its customers, sought the best growth strategy, which resulted in lower costs and minimal impact to the company’s IT team. It looked at hosted public cloud providers to determine whether its needs might be satisfied technically and economically.
