What is a Cloud Agency / Multi-Cloud Agency?
A cloud agency (multi-cloud agency) is an authorized partner certified by cloud vendors that handles cloud sales, billing agency, deployment support, and technical support. Going through an agency lets you receive JPY billing, Japanese-language support, and end-to-end deployment-to-operations support together.
Cloud Navi is one of the few multi-cloud authorized agencies that is simultaneously an Alibaba Cloud Distributor in Japan (the top tier), an authorized AWS and Tencent Cloud reseller, and a Google Cloud partner. From a neutral, vendor-agnostic standpoint, we propose the optimal cloud for your requirements.
With JPY settlement via billing agency, dedicated Japanese support, and one-stop delivery from requirements through build, migration, and managed operations (MSP), we make multi-cloud adoption and operations simple.
