Kloud turns 4!

10th of November, 2014 / / No Comments

Born in the cloud in 2010, Kloud celebrated our 4th birthday over the weekend. As far as birthdays go this was certainly one to celebrate as we took time to reflect on the past 12 months and what we’ve achieved as a company.

Kicking off in January (and in just over 3 years of business) we had deployed in excess of 1 million seats in Office 365, to cement our position as one of the top Microsoft partners in Australia.… [Keep reading] “Kloud turns 4!”
