Focus Softnet expands global business with Tata Communications' IZO Cloud Platform

Focus Softnet has announced that it is partnering with Tata Communications to host its cloud-based ERP solutions on the IZO Private Cloud platform. Tata Communications' IZO Private Cloud platform is enabling Focus Softnet to offer its cloud-based ERP solutions either as a public cloud SaaS solution or as a private cloud option.

Rajesh Awasthi, Associate Vice President - Managed Hosting & Cloud Services, Tata Communications, says, "We are proud to partner with Focus Softnet, who is moving their Focus 9 solution to our IZO Private Cloud, after a successful proof of concept on the Tata Communications cloud platform. During the six months of operations after startup, Tata Communications has been actively helping Focus Softnet onboard 40+ new customers."

Prior to the migrating to Tata Communications' IZO Private Cloud platform, Focus Softnet was offering customers onsite perpetual licensing and was looking for a suitable partner for global hosting of its cloud-based Focus 9 application. With Tata Communications’ IZO Private Cloud platform, Focus Softnet is able to offer customers scalability and agility with its cloud software licensing, which is a flexible pay as you go model, and can deliver anytime, anywhere.

Ali Hyder, Group CEO of Focus Softnet, comments, “Customers globally have common demands such as flexible operational payments, scalability requirements, usage agility, and the option of global delivery anywhere and anytime, which are now met by the IZO Private Cloud platform. We now have a single point of contact to support our ERP software solutions. With the cloud service, we know immediately if there is a problem and can quickly fix it remotely. There is no need for on-premise visits. Tata Communications’ enterprise-grade service and support and its global footprint were deciding factors in our decision to migrate to IZO™ Private Cloud platform.”

Focus Softnet can now provide end to end solution and round-the-clock support for its global customers. When new customers are onboarded, Tata Communications’ engineers work closely to understand their needs and size the IZO Private Cloud offering accordingly. Depending on the customer requirements, Tata Communications can offer either a dedicated virtual machine or shared cloud model.

Due to its global reach, Tata Communications matched the requirement of having its cloud nodes closest to Focus Softnet’s customers, thereby reducing the latency or sluggishness of response to application refresh. The company’s customers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore, Malaysia and India are using Focus Softnet’s solutions on the IZO Private Cloud platform.

Focus Softnet has adopted a multiple business cloud model from Tata Communications to offer the most stable and cost-effective cloud experience to its current and future global customers.
