Helping customers embrace the cloud with confidence
Founded in 2003 in Azeitão, Portugal, Inforhard specializes in three core areas: business management software (ERP), IT hardware, and professional services including implementation, support, and training. A long-standing Primavera partner, the company has spent more than two decades helping businesses modernize their operations while supporting the technology infrastructure behind them.
As customer needs evolved and physical servers became increasingly difficult to justify, Inforhard began exploring cloud alternatives that could offer greater flexibility, scalability, and long-term value. After evaluating different providers, the company found in Plenit a platform that made cloud adoption simpler—for both its team and its customers.
Making the transition from physical servers to the cloud
For Carlos Almeida, CEO of Inforhard, one of the biggest challenges wasn't the technology itself—it was changing mindsets. Many customers were accustomed to physical servers that remained in place for years, making the transition to cloud infrastructure feel unfamiliar. Concerns around security, loss of control, and cost often became barriers to adoption, particularly among smaller businesses.
At the same time, customers were increasingly operating across multiple locations and relying on software that demanded greater flexibility and availability. For accounting firms, retailers, and other distributed organizations, cloud infrastructure provided a far more efficient way to connect teams, centralize systems, and reduce the complexity associated with maintaining physical environments.
Simplicity that benefits both technical and commercial teams
One of the reasons Inforhard quickly embraced Plenit was the ease of working with the platform. From creating proposals and presenting solutions to customers to deploying and managing infrastructure, the entire process became faster and more streamlined.
“The platform’s simplicity and the closeness of the team are, without a doubt, the most valuable aspects of working with Plenit.” - Carlos Almeida
This simplicity extends across both the commercial and technical sides of the business. Teams can move quickly from quoting a project to deploying services, reducing operational overhead and allowing them to focus on delivering value to customers rather than managing complexity.
Security, support, and a partnership built on trust
Beyond usability, security played a decisive role in Inforhard's decision. Previous experiences with other providers reinforced the importance of working with a platform that inspires confidence and delivers consistent results. Since partnering with Plenit, the company has experienced very few issues related to security, strengthening its ability to recommend cloud solutions with confidence.
Support has also been a key differentiator. According to Carlos, any challenge—whether related to implementation or day-to-day operations—is addressed quickly by a responsive team that feels genuinely close to the partner. That combination of technical expertise, accessibility, and personal attention creates a level of trust that is difficult to find elsewhere.
