Cloud Services for Small and Mid-sized Companies
Cloud computing is the next generation of data storage, software and IT infrastructure management. With cloud computing, you can easily increase capacity or add capabilities without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel or licensing new software. This makes the technology more cost efficient than other options. You also do not need to worry about managing expensive onsite equipment. Everything is handled off-site by the expert engineers at Ford Office Technologies.
Ford IT offers complete business IT solutions to keep your company secure and productive.
Why FORD for your Managed Cloud Computing Needs?
Our network operation center provides reliable and fast internet bandwidth, ethernet connectivity and power. Our public cloud solution removes complex maintenance and high facility costs. Or you can choose to augment your existing private cloud infrastructure with our hybrid cloud solutions.

VaaS
Voice as a Service technology centralizes your telephone infrastructure with a hosted voice communication system that allows for off-site disaster recovery and business continuity, as well as flexibility and customization. Team members can use the same voice communication foundation, whether they are on-site at your office, working remotely in the field or at home, using traditional hardphones, softphones or smartphones.
IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service means you no longer need to own, run and maintain your own equipment for all of your storage, servers and networking components—because everything is managed by Ford Office Technologies through our cloud services.
SaaS
With Software as a Service, your applications are hosted by Ford Office Technologies and made available to you and your team over the internet, or other network—meaning your applications can be accessed through a web browser, rather than your computer’s desktop. You also no longer need to worry about team members working with different versions of an application, because updates are available to all team members at the same time.
DaaS
Desktop as a Service is a cloud-based solution from Ford Office Technologies that provides anytime access to desktops and applications at any location and on any device. DaaS gives your team complete flexibility without any unnecessary risk to your business. Our simplified solution allows your organization the opportunity to control costs, simplify your desktop and application deployment model, and include high-level security and control. Our team will ensure this model works with your current environment and will provide a seamless move to a cloud or hybrid-cloud model.
VOIP
Voice over IP is the future of communications. VoIP allows businesses to connect communications and other forms of multimedia over the internet. By taking traditional audio and turning it into digital data, businesses can send a variety of information with ease and speed. This technology solution allows businesses to achieve a high-level of flexibility, efficiency and cost-savings. VoIP offers the ability to connect by using traditional phones or phone software on a desktop or other device, plus call waiting and caller ID.

Don't just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
Ford Office Technologies is a great company to work with. Reno is great at ALWAYS fixing our machine (it's old and needs extra tlc) and the girls in the office are always super helpful in getting supplies.
Ford Office Technologies provided excellent customer service. They are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend their equipment and services. The value they bring to our business with the ability to print, scan and email right from our copy machine has been great.
I have worked with Ford Office Technologies several times and I will gladly give them 5 stars. The level of professionalism and their work ethics say it all. If I have an issue I call and they come to take care of it immediately. I would recommend them to anyone. They are also involved in our community which is nice to see they are giving back when they can.
Always great service. This time the tech was at my office five minutes after my call (he happened to be servicing a nearby business). Dave was fantastic! He took the time to teach me troubleshooting and helped me to understand the machine and all of the functions I didn't know existed.
Prompt and excellent service. The two technicians (Phil and Ken) were friendly and professional. They had my machine up and running in no time. This company obviously puts a premium on customer service! I am looking forward to doing business with them and would strongly recommend them.
Very glad I partnered with Ford Office Technologies to do the printing for my law firm. I only wish I had outsourced this aspect of my business sooner. Bennett was very helpful in particular.
I've been very happy with the printer and service I've gotten from Ford Office Technologies. When I've had an issue, the response time is immediate; since my job is nothing without my printer, I could not be more appreciative. Extremely professional and reliable company to do business with.
For numerous years Marion County, West Virginia government offices have had a superior working relationship with Ford Office Technologies (Document Solutions). They excel in customer service in the sale of equipment and in repairs. They always follow up on service calls and keep in contact throughout the year about office needs. We look forward to a continued great relationship for many more years.
I am incredibly pleased with the prompt service. I called them in the morning and a tech walked me through the issues I had with one of my copiers and the other copier they were here the next morning fixing the connection issue I had with that one. I'm so happy that I can now scan again on both copiers. Great company highly recommend it!
