Problem
A majority of Noverus Innovations (NI) clients had on-premise file servers and wanted to make the switch to the cloud, a file server replacement. Over the course of 9 years, NI worked with a variety of file server replacement solutions: OneDrive & SharePoint, Soonr, Egnyte, and Google Drive.
All of these solutions did some things well, but none of them were a complete solution that could reliably replace a file server.
One of the biggest issues NI was having with these other solutions was with file syncing. Most of the solutions required a copy of each file on the client�s computer. Many clients have hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes of storage space, so maintaining that amount of storage on each computer is not a viable solution.
Another issue was with bug fixes and communication - NI would have a specific issue and often wait weeks if not months for a solution.
Solution
Noverus Innovations started using CentreStack two years ago as a file server replacement solution. A key deciding factor was the file sync capability.
�CentreStack by default doesn�t put any files on your computer, so that was a newer concept as we were switching. Some of our clients have a terabyte of storage, no one wants to have that much storage on each computer to maintain a file sync & share.� - Stephen Monk, CEO, Noverus Innovations
The level of customer care when it comes to bug fixes and product updates has been an upgrade for NI over their previous solutions.
�With CentreStack we�re on a weekly release cycle. We�ve gotten more accomplished in feature requests and bug fixes with them in 2 years than we did in 9 years with all the other platforms,� said Stephen.
