Cloud Brigade

Cloud Brigade was hired by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for IT and website maintenance and support. The company aimed to address ongoing IT issues and security concerns, as the museum's website was regularly being attacked by hackers. Cloud Brigade was recommended through local networks and was chosen for their alignment in mission and values, as well as their ability to meet all of the museum's technology needs. They successfully migrated the museum's internet connection from wireless broadband to a fiber offering and resolved issues allowing employees to access previously inaccessible information. They also set up VPN access for remote work during the pandemic, maintained the digital archival system, and provided ongoing tech support.

Cloud Brigade, also known as Launch Brigade, was hired by a Destination Marketing Organization to migrate their old CMS platform to a new one. Their aim was to minimize disruption while maintaining their site's annual traffic of over 1 million visitors. After considering three different vendors, Launch Brigade was chosen for their technical expertise, cost-effectiveness, and local presence. The project began in October 2018 and involved a five-member team from Launch Brigade, including their CEO, back-end developers, a website developer, and a project manager. The goal was to create a user-friendly CMS platform that staff members could navigate easily, while maintaining their significant web traffic and minimizing service disruption.
