OfficeBook Inc. Takes Page From Own Book, Taps Amazon Web Services for IT Infrastructure Powering OfficeBooks Software
OTTAWA, Ontario, May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OfficeBook, the business software solutions provider behind OfficeBooks, has announced the migration of its server infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Coming fresh off the heels of its integration with QuickBooks Online, the move will empower the company to trim expenses, explore new opportunities and stay at the leading edge of business process automation, thanks to the flexibility and affordability of the cloud. The migration also puts the company in a cash-positive position for the first time since its founding.

"Our move to Amazon Web Services gives our flagship software more speed and scalability than ever before," explained John Hunter, president and founder of OfficeBook. "As a company dedicated to helping clients save time and get 'back to business,' it only makes sense that we should seek solutions that streamline our operations wherever possible. AWS is the recognized leader in cloud-based services; as such, Amazon's efficient pricing model will enable us to pass significant savings on to our own customers."
Amazon Web Services is one of today's largest providers of business-class, cloud-based IT infrastructure, also known as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). The online retail giant has built a global cloud network that's meeting the needs of thousands of business users in nearly 200 countries. The cost savings and flexibility enjoyed by these organizations is tremendous. AWS offers pay-as-you-go pricing, ideal for small and medium businesses that can't leverage massive expenditures on hardware and IT support.
Looking past the simple economics, AWS provides a high degree of security that most organizations would be hard pressed to duplicate independently. Every client company's infrastructure and data is fortressed behind top-tier operational and physical security measures.
With the security and versatility of AWS on its side, OfficeBook will immediately ratchet up its development initiatives. The OfficeBooks software solution runs the gamut from delivery to accounting, and boasts superior customer support. The overriding goal of the software is to automate those aspects of business that cause the most frustration yet don't positively influence the bottom line.
OfficeBooks let managers and executives spend more time with people and less time solving problems. Nowhere is this more evident than in the efficiencies the software brings to the sales pipeline. OfficeBooks seamlessly automates everything from initial quotes to transaction processing, and everything in between.
"OfficeBooks is built on the notion that manufacturers and distributors can automate large swaths of their business operations, liberating more time for professional networking and the realization of opportunities for growth," added Hunter. "Our choice of AWS is a major step forward in delivering those benefits to even more users."
The migration to AWS represents part of an ambitious growth strategy for OfficeBook. Key to that strategy will be keeping costs in check while maintaining a forward-thinking and problem-solving perspective.
OfficeBooks software is available today in a variety of packages, as well as a free package for five or fewer users. Trial periods allow prospective users to test the cloud-based software at no cost and no obligation.
