Base2Services to open office in the US

Australian cloud operations and management company base2Services plans to expand into the US next year to capitalise on its growth momentum in North America.

Base2services provides DevOps as a managed service at a fixed monthly price, and was Australia’s first company to offer a managed AWS offering.

The company is now aiming to open an office in the US in mid-2017, and is exploring Boulder in Colorado, Kansas City in Missouri and Austin in Texas as possible locations.

Managing director Arthur Marinis said base2services has been able to attract a significant customer base in North America without a physical presence in the US, but is planning an expansion to take this to the next level.

“North America is now contributing nearly 20% of our revenue, but if we really want to grow in America and take that next step we believe we need to set up in the US,” he said.

But Australia will remain the company’s main focus, Marinis said. The company aims to grow its customer base here by 200% over the next 12–18 months.

“We are finding that we are standing out in the market because we are very collaborative and put a lot of time into training in-house teams,” he said.

“Many in-house teams are usually trying to do it themselves, which some can. But we get them up to speed and work as an extension to their team, taking care of the operation of the infrastructure, so they can concentrate on working on their business or product instead.”
