Our Brand
People often ask us what our name means. In 2011, “Cloud” was big for SaaS companies, and used extensively by Salesforce, so we tried a thousand combinations with Cloud, but there were very few domain names available. Then we spotted EightCloud.com.
Yes, that’s right. Some companies have profound reasons behind their name; our reason was simple – the domain was available. However, we took a much more deliberate and value-driven approach to our rebrand.
In March 2020, we launched a new logo and website to authentically reflect our evolution as a truly unique Salesforce partner. We came to realize that the Eight is a symbol of infinity and a constant flow of energy and power. Using the number “8” communicates transformation and a confident partnership.
Our new interlocking icon instantly infused the “eight” in our name with a meaning that is integral to everything we do: a close, lasting connection with our clients built on trust and collaboration.
Early in 2011, Ajay Nair and Darryl Lemecha were reminiscing about their decades of business operations and technology leadership work, when the conversation turned to the hundreds of consulting companies they had hired over the years.
The common theme that soon emerged was one of missteps and missed opportunities that resulted from a purely transactional view of project engagements. Get in, get out and try to make the client relatively happy while maximizing the consulting firm’s revenue.
There had to be a better way! With this shared realization, EightCloud was born.
The solution was simple – focus on building value for the client as a genuine partner for the long-term. Treat the client how you would want to be treated, even if it means giving up short-term profits.
With these values established, the choice of technology platform was next. What platform would provide the best value to clients by reducing technology risk, ensuring solution longevity and flexibility? The solution was obvious. Salesforce was superior by any measure, from how it’s built to the passionate community that surrounds it.
The service offering, on the other hand, had to be something new. Having been on the client side so many times themselves, the two knew that you can’t expect a client to know exactly what they need from the start. The relationship must be structured to provide the flexibility and guidance to allow them to grow into and evolve their solution, without breaking the bank. The model they conceived became the first Managed Services product for Salesforce.
