Imagine having all the apps you need and want, helping you do absolutely every task or function you could ever think of - and NO IT department, servers, installation/implementation project, maintenance, upgrades, reboots...just login and go. Well, you just imagined sciCloud.netTM!
It's all the gain without the pain. For too long there have been too many barriers to getting the apps you need and keeping them going. First you have to find them. Then you have to do requirements assessments, RFIs, RFPs, demos, costings of hardware, project management... Whew, it's exhausting just to think about!
sciCloud.netTM lets you select the app you want from a catalog of dozens, then simply click a button to install and run the app - in seconds!
There's a vast and continuously expanding library of apps available too, everything from Biobanking to Website Building, LIMS/LIS to Social Media and eCommerce to Help Desk.
