idu-Concept expands cloud offering


Cape Town, 20 Mar 2019

IDU is thrilled to announce that the award-winning corporate performance management (CPM) solution, idu-Concept, has expanded its cloud offering through a partnership with Microsoft Azure.

IDU has made its flagship idu-Concept suite of products available on both a private and public cloud platform. This will enable companies large and small to cost-effectively access the full idu-Concept suite of budgeting, forecasting, reporting and analytics products.

Businesses can choose to use the IDU private cloud platform through IDU's partner, CipherWave, or through a cloud provider of their choice, or through the IDU software as a service (SaaS) solution, harnessing the power and scalability of the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform.

Microsoft launched its local Azure services in early March 2019, located in its data centres in Johannesburg and Cape Town. This is good news for IDU's South African customers, both in terms of scale, availability, as well as data resilience and compliance with regulations, such as the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), in terms of storing personal identification information locally.

IDU Cloud offers world-class CPM capabilities without large capital expenditure outlays. Instead of buying costly servers, a cloud platform offers access to state-of-the-art infrastructure, security, reliability, scalability and performance.

Businesses can get up and running quickly with the IDU Cloud (SaaS) offering.

The solution is constantly updated to the newest release, which ensures IDU's cloud customers will always work with the latest functionality, without having to worry about software installation and upgrades.

Decision-makers can have instant access through the cloud to critical business insights securely, anywhere and anytime, through a computer or any Internet-enabled mobile device.
