Birthdays and Beginnings

Good day,

 

August was a big month for the team at Cumulus Global as we reached our 15 year anniversary. How much were you thinking about "cloud" in 2006?  Back then, we saw the potential of the "Cloud" to offload spam protection and email compliance solutions. Some thought we were crazy to trust the "cloud"; others shared, and benefited, from our vision.  Our recent blog post shares highlights of our history 

and some inspirational quotes that have guided, and reflect, our evolution. From email security and compliance to robust Managed Cloud Services, thank you for being part of our our journey.

 

September is a month of new beginnings. Kids are back in school and the post-Labor Day (post summer) focus on work takes hold.

 

With Google's recent announcement that companies will be forced to transition form G Suite to Google Workspace starting on January 31, 2022, September is also the beginning of our final push to manage the transition process.  While we cannot force you to transition early, we can save you money and make sure you move to the best mix of Google Workspace Business or Enterprise subscriptions. More than a name change, the transition to Google Workspace can alter your features and your pricing (significantly for many!).

 

September is also a new beginning for us as we formally launch our Managed Cloud Services.  Beyond subscriptions, licensing, and basic support, Managed Cloud Services blend technologies and services to help your business achieve its goals and desires results.  Leveraging the power of Cloud Solutions, combined with monitoring and management of your full IT environment, we can deliver reliable services more effectively and efficiently than traditional managed IT services for small and midsize businesses.

 

Whether it is your Google Workspace Transition or Managed Cloud Services, we will continue to share information and offer opportunities to learn more.

 

Thank you for being part of our community,

Allen Falcon, CEO
