Northridge is the partner that can take your collaboration solutions to the cloud.

As an alternative to the traditional capital expenditure-based technology procurement model, many businesses are moving to cloud solutions on a monthly-fee basis.  There are several advantages to cloud-based offerings, including:

• No large up-front capital expenditure and no depreciating hardware or software assets
• Regular software updates are deployed by the cloud provider at no additional cost
• A monthly operating expense provides simple budgeting and modeling
• No hardware and software to maintain
• IT resources can be applied to other key initiatives or headcount can be reduced
• You focus on your business - not on IT systems

Northridge assists clients in moving their mission critical portals and applications to the cloud. Northridge manages its own data center environment for housing highly-unique client solutions and for all other solutions we help our clients migrate to Microsoft's robust cloud offerings which are described below:
