About – Pick Cloud, Inc.

About

Every great partnership begins with an introduction. You are likely seeking clarity on our background, purpose, and capabilities. We are proud to share the story of how we got here and, more importantly, where we can take you.

Who we are

Pick Cloud is led by Mark Pick, an industry veteran with unparalleled experience in the MultiValue sector. Mark brings deep-rooted expertise to the company; his father, Dick Pick, was the pioneer of the MultiValue database model. Today, Mark is universally recognized as a leading expert in the architecture that bears his family name.

Why we are

We founded Pick Cloud to address a fundamental inefficiency in the traditional IT model: the high cost of over-provisioning. We saw businesses investing heavily in upfront hardware costs to accommodate potential future growth, effectively paying for capacity they did not yet need.

We offer a smarter alternative. By migrating to the cloud, you shift from rigid capital expenditure to a flexible, usage-based model. This allows you to align your infrastructure costs directly with your actual requirements—scaling resources up or down instantly as your business evolves.

How we got here

Our passion for the MultiValue arena drove us to build a platform where it could thrive. We established Pick Cloud, intending to modernize the ecosystem, ensuring that MultiValue remains a robust solution for years to come.

We believe that the agility of the cloud and the power of MultiValue are the ideal combination. This belief has shaped our business model from the ground up. We are not adapting to the cloud; we were built for it.

We invite you to test our platform firsthand. We offer 15-day FREE trials with no credit card or commitment required. Click here to start your journey to the cloud!

Testimonials

Thanks Pick Cloud for your help in getting our development server set up, it was just what we needed!! We didn’t need to worry about purchasing hardware and software. We paid only for that we needed and when we were done, we didn’t need to get rid of the hardware. The whole process was seamless from beginning to end.

Frank Hanshaw

It was magic. All the best stuff is always magic. It was the most painless server migration I have ever been a part of. We never considered any other provider. There was just something about Pick Cloud we knew would be the best way.

Nora Nevers, Programmer Analyst

Pick Cloud really saved our bacon. If it weren’t for Mark’s team we wouldn’t be in the position we are today after our server crashed.

Sharon Daniel, VP and CFO

As a Rocket reseller, we needed a cloud provider that was secure, reliable, responsive, and affordable that we could count on. I collaborated with Pick Cloud to move several of my clients to the cloud. With Pick Cloud, you have a system that is more reliable – up all the time and secure, a perfect fit for anyone considering a cloud option for their PICK environment.

Jerry Dehnel, Owner

Pick Cloud has enabled us to focus on the important task of running our business instead of wasting our time focusing on technology. We moved our headquarters from California to Texas and never missed a beat!

Phil Deniston, President

Pick Cloud is perhaps the best decision we made when deciding to move to the cloud. With few MultiValue cloud vendors to choose from, Pick Cloud was by far the most cost effective. We are beyond delighted with their service and attention to detail. In addition to being incredibly easy to work with, Pick Cloud has saved us time, money and headaches.

Dennis Heit, CTO

We use OpenQM DBaaS to develop our application. Access and reliability is never an issue. We can focus on our application not the hardware behind it. The cost to start is minimal and we can scale our application and business as needed.

Nancy Calderone, CIO

Our decision to move to the cloud was the perfect solution to our rising support costs, aging machine, and complexity of securely connecting from a remote location. Now we have state of the art hardware (and the improved speed that comes with it), predictable and consistent costs and we can securely connect from anywhere. Pick Cloud was the natural choice for taking us from our slow, aging Pick/MultiValue system to the cloud.

Steve Henkel, Director of Information Systems

We have been a client for over 8 years and have always been pleased with the support response times as well as the results of the projects they have helped us with. We have moved all of our applications to the cloud and couldn’t be happier!
