OpenTech Hosts Industry’s First Open Self Storage Cloud

Technology leader develops new software services for self storage industry

PHOENIX, Arizona – February 22nd, 2012 – OpenTech Alliance, Inc. announced it is creating the industry’s first self storage specific cloud based computing platform. The Self Storage Cloud will be an “open” architecture that hosts a multitude of integrated software applications and services from different vendors designed to help self storage operators lower their operating costs and increase their revenue.

Self storage REITS have invested heavily in creating new internal systems that have helped them post some impressive performance numbers, but smaller portfolio operators and independent owners are not in the position to create similar solutions to allow them to compete effectively. OpenTech’s new Self Storage Cloud will provide all operators, even the single facility owners, access to the latest technology on a pay as you go model. Access to integrated cloud based solutions will only be an Internet connection away

The Self Storage Cloud will host several internally developed software applications including INSOMNIAC® Online, LiveAgent!, LivePhone!, and LiveVoicemail! along with other services including identification verification, video conferencing, facility content management and more. Contact your OpenTech Business Development manager to set up a Self Storage Cloud briefing.

OpenTech’s Self Storage Cloud will be hosted by IO at the IO Scottsdale data center. With over 300 days of sunshine and virtually no risk from natural disaster, Scottsdale, Arizona is ideal for mission-critical data centers. IO provides a state-of-the-art environment that ensures mission-critical IT systems and applications are always secure, connected and available 24x7xForever. Watch the IO corporate video to see why they the best in the business.

“We feel technology is quickly becoming a key competitive differentiator and without the best tools available self storage operators and their on-site management staff will find it very challenging to compete. Our cloud platform will level the playing field and help all self storage operators improve their operational efficiency”, commented Robert A. Chiti, OpenTech President and CEO

OpenTech is a sponsor of the 2012 SiteLink User Conference on March 13 at Bally’s Hotel and Casino and will exhibit at the ISS World Expo on March 14 – 16 at booth numbers 525, 527 and 529.
