Tridion in the Cloud

Hosted Tridion, fully featured, fully managed.

Implementation follows SDL best practices

Very short time to market (hours rather than days/weeks)

Platform as a Service, not an Infrastructure as a Service.

Vanilla Tridion, but customisations are supported.

Single tenant customer environments, multi tenant management.

NoOps Scalable operations, short time to market

Elasticity Scale up when needed, scale down when possible

Buy instead of build Focus on added value

IT Endorsable Security, resilience, manageability

Pragmatic Portability -> Maintain portability but not at cost of everything.
