Method Park and CloudOne agree on close cooperation 

In the future Method Park, the Erlangen-based consulting firm for software and systems engineering, and CloudOne, supplier of cloud solutions, with headquarters in Indianapolis, IN, USA, will cooperate more closely. With the signing of a "letter of intent" a few days ago, the two companies signaled this aim.
Especially the customers of Method Park and CloudOne will now be able to fully exploit the potential of the Internet faster and more efficiently and therefore stand to profit from this collaboration. Method Park will support the customers in the DACH* region of CloudOne with setting up their cloud solutions. 
Method Park and CloudOne expect a significant demand for Industry 4.0 solutions already in the coming months. "Companies increasingly store their data in the cloud. All around the world, data centers are accordingly on the rise. Thus, for example, the IBM subsidiary SoftLayer has begun operation of the first data center in Frankfurt in order to meet the needs of the German market. This development opens new business areas for us. We are pleased to be able to support the CloudOne service team with our know-how with making their Virtual Private Cloud accessible on an international scale to a still wider public", comments Dr. Martin Geier, a member of the Method Park Executive Board.
John McDonald, CEO at CloudOne adds: "With partners like Method Park we are able to offer our customers the advantages of the cloud computing system and global data exchange without the need to abandon what they have built up until now."
