Revel Consulting Launches Cloud Computing Practice
Revel Consulting, a leading business and IT consulting firm, today announced the launch of its Cloud Computing Practice, providing business solutions for both software companies transitioning to web-delivered services, as well as businesses incorporating web-based technologies into their day-to-day operations. Cloud computing, which encompasses software-as-a-service (SaaS), is any business or end-user service that is scalable, elastic, and provided to customers via the Internet. An early pioneer in this space, Revel has been providing cloud consulting services since the industry’s inception. This experience allows the firm to service an industry which according to Gartner, Inc. will see revenues reach $150 billion by 2013.
“Cloud computing is more than a short-term trend. There are legitimate benefits to companies adopting cloud services into their business such as reduced expenses and efficient scaling,” said Vikas Kamran, CEO and Co-Founder of Revel. “Our deep experience in the cloud, coupled with our agile business model provides clients an unmatched path to the cloud, moving them ahead of the competition.”
For cloud service providers, Revel’s services help companies transform their infrastructure, operations, and sales and marketing processes to align with the cloud’s flexibility. This transition allows providers to achieve predictable and recurring revenue streams and ultimately develop a sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
For companies interested in utilizing cloud computing, Revel’s services range from helping assess the cost and benefits of migrating to the cloud, to helping companies integrate SaaS applications such as customer relationship management (CRM) or financial management into their business and existing IT environment.
“Our Cloud Computing Practice is uniquely positioned to help both companies that offer cloud services as well as companies who will be the cloud’s end-users,” said Michael Tan, Senior Associate and Cloud Computing Practice lead for Revel. “These two sides of the industry have distinct business challenges and require specific solutions – we have a proven track record across the spectrum.”
Revel’s Cloud Computing Practice will address the booming market demand of cloud computing by drawing on the firm’s past success working in IT, software, insurance, retail, telecom/wireless and engineering. Additionally, clients will benefit from Revel’s “Pure Consulting” model, which reduces layers of bureaucracy typical of large firms to provide clients with on-site senior industry experts to drive projects and achieve results.
