The iboss cloud platform allows users to connect directly to cloud applications without needing to send those connections through bottlenecked office connections reducing infrastructure costs and increasing user productivity resulting from fast and secure connections.”
Head of operations for the SaaS Awards, James Williams said, “Software-as-a-Service’s force for positive disruption never seems to abate, with seemingly unending solutions for modern business.” Williams added, “This year is of course a special case, with SaaS not only at the forefront of remodelling existing business processes, but also agilely responding with pioneering solutions to unavoidable global disruptions. Indeed, SaaS technologies are now celebrated as providing new and inventive ways for organizations to perform what might have once seemed simple tasks in a changing international landscape. From fulfilling orders to arranging meetings, SaaS technologies are more important than ever.”
