Persistent Systems Ltd.

Persistent Systems, the leader in outsourced software product development services, and Proactive Education, Inc., a Cloud solution services and project management firm, have entered into partnership to enable small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) to rapidly, intelligently and economically migrate their software and applications to the Cloud with confidence. The partnership announcement builds on successful joint customer deployments of Business Intelligence (BI) and custom business solutions utilizing predictive analytics and other advanced database technologies exclusively in a Cloud environment.

The global Cloud computing market is expected to reach $241 billion in 2020 compared to $40.7 in 2010, foreseeing the Cloud as evolving into a significant contributor to the size and growth of the tech industry overall.

Proactive will utilize Persistent Systems’ proven Cloud Assessment Tool (CAT) to provide SMBs with an accurate assessment of ‘Cloud-worthy’ applications that can be migrated to the Cloud . Whereas most Cloud assessment offerings available today work in a single dimension, CAT takes into consideration both the business criticality and the actual workload of an application. Used by leading enterprises around the world, CAT defines business heuristics, understands application workload patterns and categorizes applications that can be migrated to the Cloud over a period of four to five weeks.
