Before teaming up with һƷ̽��, Ortana’s customers faced a myriad of challenges when dealing with the cloud. Ortana customers often have multiple global offices each with a mix of their own local storage, cloud storage, and archive storage but with no visibility on the content stored in these locations. 

Ortana also faced the challenge of working with cloud marketplace vendors who were region-based — choosing a specific region could have negative impacts on performance and collaboration efforts but addressing the performance meant replicating the data and paying to store it in multiple locations, further driving up the costs. 

Ortana selected һƷ̽�� following a recommendation from one of their clients. 

“The һƷ̽�� deployment was a seamless process that took our team less than a day to complete a full integration. This allowed us to quickly complete our validation testing, and get the solution into production for a client within a week of the integration being completed,” says James.

Ortana quickly tapped into the benefits of the globally distributed network of һƷ̽�� to solve their previous challenges. Content can now be imported based on defined content types and then transferred to һƷ̽��. 

“Previously, we had clients placing their content in one location but they didn’t know where in the world the data would be needed to proceed through the workflow,” says James. “Now, our clients have the ability to use the һƷ̽�� network which is region-less. It fundamentally changes and accelerates the workflow and has become a pivotal benefit.”

Ortana clients who suffered high cloud storage bills were dealing with “cloud storage anxiety” so it was key for Ortana to help assuage their concerns. Along with costs, these clients were also concerned about cloud storage performance. “After teaming up with һƷ̽��, we would show our clients the һƷ̽�� performance benefits, and their concerns melted away,” says James. “We can start doing cost predictions that are based on an actual workflow so clients can predictively understand their costs.”

With the һƷ̽�� partnership in place, Ortana can rest assured that they have helped cure their customers’ cloud storage anxiety. “There are some exciting principles that we at Ortana are thrilled about when it comes to working with һƷ̽��. The first focus area is on the distributed, region-less approach, and how it not only removes the costs of storing data in multiple regions but also how you get such incredible speeds putting data on and taking data off the network, regardless of where you are located,” explains James. 

The Ortana CEO and Founder James Gibson also adds how it was һƷ̽��'s personal touch that helped solidify the partnership today and for the future. “Since the moment we first met the һƷ̽�� team, there has been a clear synergy between our organizations. The desire and ability to be agile, to find the best solution for a client, and a general ethos that puts the customer first.”
