Our Mission

CommunicationVideoMusicPhoto

• Today we have the technology and infrastructure to provide new distribution models, user experiences and revolutionize the use of information.

• There are great digital solutions for photo, music, video, communication, ...

A new “digital experience”

... however, many of our documents are still paper-based: receipts, invoices, contracts and so forth. We spend hours organizing and archiving documents and still can’t retrieve them when needed.

Not to mention the cost of producing, transporting, processing and archiving paper-based documents.

• There is no solution providing access to all our documents or helping us to get and keep them organized.

Why we love AWS

Our learnings from experience

• Using own hardware leads to lack of flexibility for seasonal peaks • 6-8 weeks to have newly ordered hardware up and running • Huge challenges associated with setups in foreign regions

• Expensive hardware is under-utilized outside of seasonal peaks

• Storage and bandwidth are problems for file transferring services

• We needed to rethink hosting options for a new business
