Verecloud Reports Fiscal Year 2011 Results
Transition year reflects investment in Cloudwrangler™ launch
DENVER - September 28, 2011– Verecloud, Inc. (OTCBB:VCLD), innovators in the emerging cloud computing services business, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
In March 2011, Verecloud shifted its focus to providing an online cloud marketplace targeted directly to small and medium businesses, after building the platform for the telecommunications industry. On August 2, 2011, Verecloud launched Cloudwrangler™ which makes it easier for SMBs to shop for, purchase, monitor and manage the performance of their hosted/cloud services at no additional charge.
“Fiscal year 2011 was a big transition year for us as we shifted our business model to launching our own marketplace,” said John McCawley, chief executive officer of Verecloud. “We invested a lot of resources to prepare for the launch and will continue to build out our sales marketing and operations to serve our expanding customer base.”
