&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EPM Partners&apos; on-Demand services are built on an Enterprise-grade platform which includes a fully redundant, multi-server SharePoint farm with no single point of failure, dual-site, Tier 1 data centres for geographical redundancy and disaster recovery, and a third-location data centre for off-site backup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EPM Partners recognises the importance of service availability, security of data and peace-of-mind for its &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;on-Demand&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; services, and has set-up the service infrastructure to deliver a robust, highly available and scalable in-the-cloud option for customers who want someone else to worry about it.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -1000</pubDate><guid>http://www.epmpartners.com.au/news/epm-in-the-cloud-epm-partners-announces-its-hosted-microsoft-epm-system-on-demand-services-an-australian-first/</guid></item><item><title>Laith Adel, from EPM Partners is appointed as the first Microsoft V-TSP (Project Server Virtual Technology Solutions Professional)  for Microsoft Australia</title><link>http://www.epmpartners.com.au/news/laith-adel-from-epm-partners-is-appointed-as-the-first-microsoft-v-tsp-project-server-virtual-technology-solutions-professional-for-microsoft-australia/</link><description>Microsoft Australia has appointed EPM Partners&apos; co-founder and senior EPM consultant, Laith Adel, as its first Project Server Virtual Technology Solutions Professional (V-TSP).
