Cloud-based document storage and sharing service SmartVault announced it has officially joined The CloudSolutions Alliance, the CPA-focused group formed in 2010 by Fujitsu and cloud-based sales tax automation service provider SpeedTax, with the goal of educating and gaining further access to firms who would be most interested in their services.
SmartVault, along with Fujitsu, SpeedTax and cloud-based workflow management service XCM work directly with CPA firms of all sizes to sponsor education and thought leadership initiatives that help firms better understand how new technology adoption leads to improved client service and retention, and ultimately firm growth.
In addition, the SmartVault executive team—specifically chief executive Eric Pulaski—will provide their knowledge resources in the areas of Cloud security, privacy and compliance. To that end, SmartVault recently released a Software Developers Kit, which gives application developers the ability to embed document management capabilities into their applications.
“SmartVault’s entry into the CloudSolutions Alliance reinforces our conviction that firms need access to the best possible information related to how cloud, SaaS and paperless technologies can work together to significantly improve client service and make firms more competitive and profitable,” said Pulaski. “Getting firms of all sizes up to speed with new technologies that create greater efficiencies through digital interactions with clients will be a group effort—and we’re excited to be participating in the upcoming initiatives being planned by the CloudSolutions Alliance.”
