Boosts Startup Growth: Pandai.org and Pintar Investments
Over the years, CloudMile has tailored services and solutions that support and enable startup’s significant operational improvements. Previously, Pandai.org operating on a pay-as-you-go model with Google BigQuery and Google Workspace, Pandai.org now benefits from personalised support, and guidance from CloudMile, allowing for strategic expansion of its educational services with enhanced cost control.
Similarly, Pintar Investments has shifted from standard credit card billing to access additional credit terms, comprehensive support, and collaborative opportunities with CloudMile, optimizing cloud usage while expanding its platform’s capacity for growth. These cases highlight CloudMile’s role in empowering startups to achieve impactful digital transformation and market expansion.
