Creative ITC is delighted to announce its shortlisting for Best Cloud Provider of the Year at this year’s glittering CRN Channel Awards. The category recognises companies that demonstrate innovation in developing and bringing new concepts to market. Other prerequisites for selection include excellence in solutions, service and support along with the ability to point to real customer gains such as improved efficiency, ROI, investment protection and cost reduction.

Since building its own high-performing cloud platform in 2018 – highlighted by VMware architects as one of the best they have seen – Creative has focused strongly on market transitions driven by virtualization, cloud and software-defined networking.

The launch of Building Information Modelling (BIM) VDI Cloud extended previously out-of-reach benefits to AEC companies. Prior to this, finding a VDI solution that could cope with graphics-heavy programmes like CAD, Revit, Photoshop or InDesign was virtually impossible. New cloud offerings added this year include Infrastructure-as-a-Service, DR-as-a-Service and Backup-as-a-Service.

Keith Ali, MD of Creative ITC, said: “Most organisations have or are moving to a cloud-first strategy as they look for simplicity, greater scalability and off-balance-sheet financing. Recognition at the CRN Channel Awards further endorses our credentials as we continue to develop high-end cloud solutions and managed services, designed by some of the industry’s leading engineering talent.”

Winners will be announced at the CRN Channel Awards ceremony on 14th November 2019 at Battersea Park, London.
