Our story
CloudSense's founders met in 2009, during a collaboration to turn the fortunes of a faltering telecommunications provider around.
This company needed to grow revenue, improve efficiency, innovate freely and provide customers and employees with a more convenient experience.
But their disconnected and deeply embedded systems presented a major roadblock to evolution.
Great companies shouldn't be held back by outdated tech; it was time for a new approach.
The founders realized it was time for a new kind of software company, built to solve difficult use cases, designed for ongoing services, and focused on empowering people to achieve their ambitions of growth and success.
It was time for CloudSense.
