Indian firm G7CR offers free migration to cloud to aid work from home amid coronavirus outbreak

Chennai: Bangalore-based cloud services company G7CR has offered to help businesses migrate from desktops to cloud computing, free of cost, to enable staff to work from home during the coronavirus crisis.

With the Software and Technology Parks of India directing IT and IT-enables services companies to allow employees to work remotely, and the Department of Telecom relaxing work-from-home norms for these companies, one of the few measures left is for the companies to migrate their work systems to a cloud-based work environment.

G7CR has set up a toll-free number 1800 572 3617 for business requiring help in migrating to cloud systems to contact them. A team from the company will then assist these firms in the migration process.

G7CR has been in the business of setting up cloud platforms for banking, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, PSUs, education, retail and IT firms. 

A company press release said G7CR, having had much experience in cloud computing, decided to offer the service because quick migration would help businesses sustain themselves without compromising on staff safety at a time when governments are advising social distancing to contain the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19.
