Challenge

Research and education institutions, government bodies, and nonprofits face mounting challenges: driving innovation, enabling cross-border collaboration, adhering to complex regulations, and stretching limited budgets.

Helping you unlock the power of the cloud with our cloud services

I met the SoftwareOne team at a trade conference. After learning how they had implemented a range of solutions using AWS AI and machine learning services, it made me think if they could help me with IPitome. When I explained my concept to them, they were excited to get involved and support us on the project.
