As part of the Mail.ru Start program, we presented our Webiomed project and received a grant for the use of MCS cloud infrastructure in December 2019.
The Mail.ru Start program is a joint project of Mail.ru Cloud Solutions (MCS) and Skolkovo, which is aimed at supporting promising IT projects. The selection and evaluation of the best startups is carried out in several stages. First of all, grants are awarded to companies that can have the most tangible effect when moving to the clouds.
The transition to the cloud and grant support help companies organize R&D, increase the reliability of services, as well as reduce the cost of supporting low-level infrastructure. One of the advantages of using MCS is access to almost unlimited information resources and the best quality of services for Russian customers.
