Cloud Knitting

Cloud computing is fast becoming a necessity in business and here at Business Mechanix, one of our core cloud computing competencies is a term we have coined “Cloud Knitting”. Cloud Knitting is where our talented team integrate public clouds, private clouds and on-premise applications to form one seamless user experience. We use our clever use of web-services combining cloud platforms and stitch it up to provide a robust and stable experience. Business Mechanix are also experts in single-sign on from on premises to cloud or cloud to cloud. Amazon to on-premise, Microsoft CRM online to Microsoft Windows Azure, we can stitch it all together! Power shell, windows live, single single-on, windows Azure, HMTL5, web services, Java Script and Amazon is just some of the selection in our cloud knitting bag.  

We know we are the one of the best at cloud knitting and cloud computing and the great thing is we offer the full 360 cloud service everything from strategies to change management to support and training and everything in between. Business Mechanix can help you expose and knit your existing systems with the cloud.

Our Experience

We used cloud knitting when we created the Wintec Alumni Portal which was a Worldwide Microsoft Education Partner of the Year Finalist in 2012. We beat over 3,000 other entries from over 100 counties. Here we used 9 different clouds in over 5 different countries and stitched it together with an on premise server. The project was initiated in July 2011 and went live at the end of September 2011. The final design included a multi access portal where alumni can enter and update information online and the data automatically populates the CRM system which is set up with multiple workflows and triggers the appropriate reactions when clients filled out certain fields in the online form through the portal. Because the system is hosted in the cloud so there are no physical servers to maintain or upgrade and no initial hardware investment.
