Cloud-hosted Applications & Services

Cloud-hosted applications, delivered via cloud computing infrastructure over the internet, operate on servers managed by cloud service providers rather than local servers or individual devices. Accessed through web browsers, users often subscribe to these applications on a pay-as-you-go basis. Concurrently, cloud hosting, a hosting service leveraging cloud computing, distributes the hosting workload across interconnected servers, creating a virtualized environment. This approach, in contrast to relying on a single physical server, enhances scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, with popular providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. These providers offer a range of services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

How We Help

We resell a number of cloud-hosted applications and services, the same ones that you could go direct and purchase, like Google Worplace (formerly G Suite), Microsoft 365 (Office 365), and others. Our price is exactly the same as buying direct ...but our service and support is lightyears more personable and reactive. We provide you with a real person, someone in the vicinity and at a local number and address, that can walk you and your business leaders through a change or new implementation altogether. You can rely on us to coach you on best business practices while Smart Life handles the heavy lifting in the background. We'll on-board your users from other services, integrate those services if possible, and support your business with the product, on-site or remotely, as you need it. Same great cloud-hosted application but support like you've not experienced with software companies directly.
