Specialization Recognizes Interlink’s Deep Knowledge, Extensive Experience, and Proven Success Helping Clients Be More Productive

Cincinnati, OH – September 30, 2020 - Interlink Cloud Advisors, a leading technology consulting firm specializing in Microsoft technologies, today announced it has earned the Microsoft Adoption and Change Management Advanced Specialization through proven technical competency, performance, advanced training, and customer references.

“Adoption and Change Management services drive end-user productivity through the use of proven methodologies,” said Matt Scherocman, Interlink’s CEO. “Our objective is to help organizations realize the greatest return on their investment and show them that productivity solutions like Microsoft 365 amplify their value through usage and team collaboration.”

The Cincinnati Business Courier has named Interlink Cloud Advisors, a leading technology consulting firm specializing in Microsoft technologies, as a finalist for its 2020 Best Places to Work awards. The program recognizes companies and organizations in Greater Cincinnati that are setting the bar for how to keep employees happy and engaged.

Award finalists were selected based on anonymous survey responses from employees, which were ranked by an independent third party, Quantum Workplace. Companies were then scored in areas such as senior leadership, team effectiveness, work recognition, and benefits.

“Despite a challenging business climate, we have never taken the eye off the well-being of our employees and clients,” said Matt Scherocman, Interlink’s CEO. “We are especially honored to be recognized as a Best Places to Work because it stems from organic feedback from our talented, committed, and truly valued employee base.”

For businesses who implement security measures, Ohio becomes the first state in the nation to implement a law that affords a data breach safe harbor - the Ohio Data Protection Act.

Not a week goes by without hearing about a new data breach. It’s becoming common knowledge that companies, both small and large, are facing the tough reality that it is no longer a matter of if, but really when a company will be affected by a data breach.

Over the years, lawmakers have struggled with constructing effective methods to strengthen the cybersecurity of organizations without mandating one-size-fits-all requirements, which makes it challenging. At the beginning of November, Senate Bill 220, also known as the Ohio Data Protection Act, was enacted into law in the state of Ohio—which represents the first law that accomplishes that goal.
