LuxCloud and The Jatis Group announce partnership to deliver cloud computing services in Southeast Asia

LuxCloud, the leading global channel-centric marketplace for cloud services, and Jatis, a major IT and software consulting group in Southeast Asia, announced today a new strategic partnership. The combination of the two portfolios will create a perfect blend of innovative commodity and region-specific cloud services

LuxCloud recognized Southeast Asia as a rapidly growing market and are eager to develop strong partnerships in the region as part of their globalization plan. Jatis, a company founded in 1997, is headquartered in Jakarta with offices in Indonesia, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Manila; they serve over 400 international corporate clients and are the leading provider of wealth management services in Indonesia. The partnership will maximize the best from both companies and substantially benefit all their customers by meeting new demands and offering innovative services.

Leading up to the partnership

LuxCloud, founded in 2010, is the global channel-centric marketplace for cloud services offering a SaaS delivery platform providing automation of billing and full provisioning of SaaS services; their portfolio includes the full range of Microsoft Hosted Services, as well as a growing range of commodity, proprietary and open source software applications. LuxCloud’s latest product, Hosted365, is a compilation of cloud services in a securely hosted desktop with web based versions of Microsoft Office programs; with the full support of Microsoft it currently offers Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Lync and Microsoft Office Web Apps. Jatis customers were requesting subscription based cloud services, as opposed to the more traditional, one-off license models; initial discussions revealed mutual benefits for both organizations that resulted in the eventual partnership.

Both companies have valuable strengths and knowledge that can be shared to create a unique value proposition to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), across the South East Asian region

Marco Houwen, Founder and CEO of LuxCloud said, “It is my great pleasure to be announcing this partnership with The Jatis Group, both companies have valuable strengths and knowledge that can be shared to create a unique value proposition to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), across the South East Asian region.” He continued, “What we are going to present will impact greatly on the market, and within the cloud industry as a whole.”

LuxCloud & Jatis working together

Jatis will eventually migrate their applications to the cloud and offer these, along with LuxCloud’s solutions, as a ‘bundle’ to their customers in the Southeast Asian market. Jusuf Sjariffudin, CEO of The Jatis Group said, “Jatis customers are always looking for new solutions to improve their businesses, working with the LuxCloud team and their portfolio means in the future we will provide highly effective business tools at a competitive price. Southeast Asia is a market that is quickly growing, wanting the latest technologies; together Jatis and LuxCloud will meet this demand.”
