Moving your Dealer Management System to the cloud can feel like a big step – especially if your current server feels familiar and “works well enough”. It’s entirely normal to have questions or concerns about changing something so central to your business.
That’s why Gold Cloud is designed to make the move straightforward, supported, and low‑risk.
What doesn’t change with Gold Cloud
- You still use Gold, the system you know and trust
- Your day‑to‑day processes stay the same
- Ibcos continues to maintain your system
The difference is simply where your system is hosted – not how you use it.
Addressing common concerns
“We don’t want to lose control”
With Gold Cloud, you keep control of your business and data without the responsibility of maintaining hardware. Hosting, security, and backups are managed by Ibcos, supported by Microsoft Azure, giving you oversight without the technical burden.
“What about reliability?”
Gold Cloud is designed to remove reliance on a single on‑site server. Your data is stored securely across multiple data centres, helping improve resilience and access if something unexpected happens at your premises.
“Is it secure?”
Security is a key reason many dealerships move to the cloud. Gold Cloud uses enterprise‑grade infrastructure, with data stored off‑site and protected by modern security standards, reducing the risks associated with local servers.
“We don’t want disruption”
The move to Gold Cloud is fully supported by the Ibcos team. From planning through to go‑live, you’re guided at every step to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.
A gradual step forward, not a leap
Gold Cloud isn’t about pushing change for the sake of it. It’s about removing hidden risks, adding scalability, and providing a more resilient foundation for the future – without overcomplicating things.
Many dealerships choose Gold Cloud simply because it offers:
- More predictable costs
- Remove worries about hardware and backups
- Confidence that their system is hosted securely and professionally
- Future resilience and adaptability
Cloud, the Gold way
Gold Cloud is purpose‑built for Gold and hosted by Ibcos, the people who know your system best. Backed by Microsoft Azure, it combines trusted infrastructure with specialist support, giving you a solution that feels familiar, dependable, and supported.
