Infobox is a member of Cloud OS Network Russia
In the outgoing year, we received a new partner status, Cloud OS Network Russia Partner. He confirms the high competence of the company in building cloud platforms that meet international standards and creating world-class cloud services.

This is the next step in the development of the company's cloud strategy. Within the framework of this program, Infobox will offer high-quality, reliable and productive services based on Microsoft technologies, created with its expert support. Customers will be able to use our services from data centers located on the territory of the Russian Federation, such as
- cloud solutions to improve business productivity (business class mail, unified communications and collaboration, telephony, CRM). Services are based on Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft Lync Server, Microsoft Dynamics CRM;
- Russian cloud infrastructure (IaaS) based on the Azure Pack for medium and large businesses, built as part of a joint project of Infobox and Microsoft, developed with the participation of Microsoft Consulting Services architects, certified by Microsoft and verified by Huawei. The launch of this solution will take place in 2016, very soon.
Best hosting in Russia according to the results of the Russian competition among Microsoft partners
According to the results of the Russian competition among Microsoft partners, Infobox with the
Office24 solution was recognized as the best company in the “Hosting” nomination, thereby confirming the best expertise in the field of IT solutions for businesses.

Office24 is the Russian equivalent of the Office 365 service from Microsoft and is a unified system for communications, combining mail, a corporate portal and a conference call. Additionally, Infobox integrated Microsoft software solutions with a virtual PBX and offered telephony features to customers. Thus, Infobox created a unique solution package, which is integrated into Office24. Infobox customers received a complete set of services that covers all the needs of any company in terms of communications and collaboration, which will allow them to focus on business tasks, and not on the selection of individual services from different suppliers.
