• IPC releases cloud service bundle for startups and SMEs

Local cloud computing and data center services firm IPC (IP Converge Data Services, Inc.) recently launched a cloud service bundle created for startups and small-to-medium enterprises. The special program includes softwareas-a-service (SaaS) products from IPC’s portfolio that enable businesses to streamline operations and effectively go to market faster, namely, Google Apps for Work online productivity and collaboration tools and local timekeeping and payroll management application IPC PayCheck. The two products may also be coupled with dedicated Internet access for enterprises, and the program is available until December 2015.

“This is the age of the startup,” says IPC president Reynaldo R. Huergas. “More and more entrepreneurs are getting their ideas off the ground, and IPC is here to help them realize their dreams faster. This special workplace productivity bundle allows startups and SMEs to utilize relevant cloud applications and high quality connectivity at a fraction of the cost it usually entails to deliver such services.”

Huergas shared that availing of the bundle presents customers with savings of up to 20 percent, versus subscribing to the services and apps separately. The program will provide a single contract, contact and billing for all services, creating a seamless, hassle-free adoption of all the cloud computing tools.

Entrepreneurs can pair Google Apps for Work licenses with either IPC PayCheck or IPC’s Global Internet Access, or subscribe to all three services at once.

Google Apps for Work is a set of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools that helps team members collaborate and get things done from anywhere, on virtually any device. The suite includes easy-to-use apps for email, calendars, video-conferencing, chat, document sharing and online storage.
