IT Solutions Announces First-Ever Cloud Giveaway Program with $100,000 Tech Makeover for Philadelphia Area Non-Profit

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 29, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- IT Solutions Consulting, Philadelphia's leading IT and cloud service provider, today announces their first-ever Cloud Giveaway program. The company is giving away a three year cloud contract - up to $100,000 of IT service and support - to a Philadelphia area non-profit, for free.

As part of their annual community outreach efforts, IT Solutions created the Cloud Giveaway program to award a local organization for its hard work. "Too often non-profit organizations struggle with performing their missions because they don't have the proper technology and support," said Ted Swanson, CEO of IT Solutions.

The cloud makeover includes management and support of brand-new servers hosted at IT Solutions' state-of-the-art data center, network administration and technical support, managed backups, managed firewall, hosted Microsoft Exchange email and Office software, antivirus/security, basic web site hosting and dedicated account management.

"By taking away the headache of managing and supporting a network, our NearCloud service fosters a better working environment, frees up precious time and resources to focus on mission-critical work, and facilitates future growth," Swanson added.

The Cloud Giveaway program launches today and community members of the Philadelphia area are encouraged to nominate their favorite non-profit via the IT Solutions web site (http://www.itsolutions-inc.com/cloudgiveaway). To qualify, the organization must have between 10 - 40 full-time computer users and be headquartered or have an independent location in the Greater Philadelphia area. From the group of nominated organizations, a small group of finalists will be selected. Then, public votes will determine the winner. The non-profit with the most votes will receive three full years of NearCloud management and support for their organization.
