Since October 2022 Softline has been operating under the brand name Noventiq.

The pressure is constant upon companies to extend the scope of services, to increase customer commitment and to develop various business activities. However, traditional IT solutions are not able to keep up with these changes, which is why cloud-based services have continuously been gaining importance. Nowadays, the success of corporate decision-makers depends entirely on the IT solutions adopted.

A lot of managers are not aware of the – sometimes considerable – cost-saving possibilities available through clouds. With the help of a well-chosen cloud, the constant need for business agility can easily be met, and the application of modern workflows (AI, IoT, microservices etc.) is not only cheaper but also faster. Moreover, good-quality cloud infrastructure is more flexible and economical than on-premise systems and can also be more favourable in terms of reliability, availability, data protection and regulatory compliance.

The advantages offered by various cloud-based solutions can be successfully used not only in IT, but also in customer relationship management and marketing. All this is mainly important due to the implications in innovation. Cloud services open up new possibilities that have previously been hindered as a result of the inflexible IT background. It has already happened to a third of companies that server capacity has suddenly become scarce. However, typically, only one in ten decision-makers¹ has solved the problem with the help of a cloud, others have resorted to the traditional, costly and lengthy method of single expansion.
