When investing in a new device, businesses often ask: “Will it run the software I actually use?” CloudGate is designed to handle the everyday tools South African businesses rely on — from productivity apps to collaboration platforms. Whether you’re an SME, a reseller, or a professional working from home, CloudGate ensures your essential software runs smoothly and reliably.
1. Productivity Suites
CloudGate handles Microsoft 365 with ease. Applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint run seamlessly, allowing teams to work efficiently on everything from proposals to financial reports. Google Workspace tools, such as Docs and Sheets, also run without issue in browser-based workflows.
2. Communication & Collaboration Tools
For hybrid and remote work, CloudGate supports the platforms businesses depend on:
- Microsoft Teams and Zoom for video conferencing.
- Slack for team messaging.
- Outlook and Gmail for email.
Combined with a headset and webcam, CloudGate provides a smooth experience for online meetings and collaboration.
3. Accounting & Finance Software
Many South African SMEs rely on tools like Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks. CloudGate is fully capable of running these applications, giving business owners and finance teams reliable access to their data.
4. CRM & Business Management Tools
Customer relationship management tools like HubSpot and Zoho, as well as business management solutions like Monday.com and Asana, run seamlessly on CloudGate. These tools are browser- and cloud-based, making them an ideal fit for the CloudGate environment.
5. Creative & Design Tools
While CloudGate isn’t designed to replace high-end workstations, it still handles lightweight design tools well. Canva, Figma, and even Adobe Photoshop (for basic tasks) perform reliably, making it a strong option for marketing teams and entrepreneurs.
6. Security & Backup Software
CloudGate works with leading cybersecurity tools like ESET and Acronis, giving businesses peace of mind with data protection and backup solutions. Resellers can position this as an add-on service for clients looking for complete IT security.
From productivity and communication to accounting and project management, CloudGate runs the software businesses depend on every day. For resellers, this means peace of mind when recommending CloudGate — clients can be confident it won’t just work, but will fit seamlessly into their existing workflows.
