Ongoing Operations CUSO Has Head In The Cloudworks With Planned IT Offers

HAGERSTOWN, Md. – Ongoing Operations, a business disaster CUSO, is partnering with Cloudworks, a provider of hosted applications, virtual desktop solutions and hosted exchange, to create a new suite of production grade IT offerings specifically for credit unions.

The new Cloudworks powered by Ongoing Operations solutions suite will initially include Hosted Exchange and Virtual Desktop products. These fully managed solutions will allow credit unions to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership, shift large capital expenditures into predictable monthly service fees, and improve the end user experience. Hosted Exchange in particular presents a real opportunity for many credit unions as they consider costly upgrades to Exchange 2010.

 Our new solution suite will help credit unions access the technology they need more cost effectively, while retaining the highest level of security and improving reliability,” said Kirk Drake, president of Ongoing Operations.

Ongoing operations is a business continuity CUSO formed by a half dozen Washington, D.C.-area credit unions in the wake of 9/11 that now provides disaster recover and other services to more than 125 credit unions nationwide.

Cloudworks is a 14-year-old IT outsourcing company based in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
