Cox Biz Launches Cloud Services for SMBs

CoxBusiness announced the national availability of Essential Cloud, a suite of cloud-based applications for small businesses, that can be purchased and managed through one portal. It recommends three "Basic Essentials," which are solutions every business needs, and then tailors solutions by four primary verticals: real estate, restaurant, professional services and personal services.

Essential Cloud also features PayLeap, a payments/merchant services platform, as its anchor business solution. It's designed to let small and medium-sized businesses integrate in-store, online and mobile payment processing in one offering.

Customers can access their apps from anywhere, at any time, with continual backup. Essential Cloud also offers personalized service and live consultation via a concierge team to aid users in selecting the best apps for their business needs.
