Atlanta Humane Society Gains Flexibility and Improves Collaboration with ProviDyn"s Private Cloud Services

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, managed and cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that its client, the Atlanta Humane Society, has decided to move its existing managed services to ProviDyns private cloud. This builds on ProviDyns existing partnership with the Atlanta Humane Society which included managed services, application and IP telephony support, as well as vendor management for both Atlanta Humane Society locations.

The Atlanta Humane Society, Atlantas oldest private non-profit animal welfare organization, expanded its reach in December 2011 by opening a second location. After consulting with ProviDyn, the Atlanta Humane Society decided centralizing its technology infrastructure and applications would provide increased capabilities and the advantage of unified communication between facilities. As a result, employees and executives are able to seamlessly collaborate across locations, accessing systems and maintaining capabilities from any Atlanta Humane Society facility.

ProviDyn has been an extension of our team and an invaluable partner in helping manage the technology needs for our business, said Chris Slee, Vice President of Finance for Atlanta Humane Society. After opening our second location, ProviDyn made the recommendation that a private cloud would give us more flexibility and enhance collaboration across the organization.

This is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting the Atlanta Humane Society in its mission to prevent neglect, abuse, cruelty and exploitation of animals, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. As with many other non-profit organizations, the Atlanta Humane Society is extremely budget conscious. Being receptive to new solutions such as a private cloud, can bring tremendous benefits, including reliability and enhanced security, at a reasonable cost.

ProviDyn"s Private Cloud Improves Collaboration, Drives Efficiency for The Connell Group

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that The Connell Group has decided to extend its existing managed services contract by migrating to ProviDyns private cloud. Based in New Jersey, The Connell Group is a market research consultancy that provides strategic research and marketing consulting services to a host of industries including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, retail and electronics.

Since 2008, The Connell Group has relied on ProviDyn to meet its day-to-day IT services and support needs. However, with employees spanning multiples states, ProviDyn recommended the firm migrate to the private cloud for increased efficiency and a more cohesive workforce. Leveraging ProviDyns private cloud will give the firm access to updated technology and allow employees to more easily collaborate as if they were in the same office, when actually they operate from disparate locations across the U.S.

Weve had a successful, long-standing partnership with ProviDyn, said Sean Connell, founder of The Connell Group. Their strategic recommendation to consider a private cloud was something we could trust, knowing that it will scale to meet our current and future technology needs, increase efficiency and make collaboration among our employees seamless.

With a widely dispersed workforce, ProviDyns private cloud was an ideal match for The Connell Group, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. Small and medium-sized businesses often find and employ talent from multiple geographic locations but still need to run smoothly and present a unified front. Having the ability to collaborate, share information and access technology among employees by utilizing the cloud, makes benefiting from the best talent, even if it is remote, possible.

About ProviDyn

ProviDyn provides technology expertise, services and support to Atlanta-area small and medium-sized businesses. Backed by certified technology professionals, ProviDyns services include managed services, cloud computing solutions, virtualization, help desk and computer support, IT strategy, network security, backup and disaster recovery and IP telephony.
