Users are making good use of services like Dropbox or GDrive every day to collaborate and save time. But this leads to sensitive business assets and data being distributed without control.

Serving an application like OwnCloud from AWS combines advantages of a private application with encrypted file storage and identity federation with the cost benefits. Control is retained over business data, policies are enforceable, but there is no capital expenditure, and monthly costs per user are kept low. And just because it is open source doesn’t mean it’s unsupported. SwitchedLInk can tailor support packages around specific applications to provide peace of mind.
