PR and marketing software provider Vocus has announced that it is to relocate its UK headquarters to a new and larger building that is more centrally located.

Vocus’ new UK headquarters are located in Longbow House, 20 Chiswell Street in the City of London.

The new office space accommodates 75 Vocus employees and has approximately twice the square footage of the company’s previous UK headquarters. Additionally the new office is closer to clients and prospects, the company has stated.

Bill Wagner, COO at Vocus, said: “The UK has been one of the fastest growing markets for Vocus, with the international market making up 15 percent of our business.

“Over the past year, we’ve also made expansions into France and China. As our business continues to be adopted in new areas, we are committed to providing the best possible support and continue to grow our international presence.”

Vocus provides cloud-based software to aid in company’s PR and marketing efforts. It helps organisations exert influence over social networks and online. Currently the company’s software is used by more than 30,000 outfits around the globe.

Bloomberg has recently revealed that software giant Microsoft is to spend up to 90 percent of its research budget this year on developing cloud computing. Microsoft has a research and development budget of USD 9.6 billion.

By using cloud computing one can access applications over the internet through browsers, rather than having to buy and install a software package.

The actual concept of cloud computing dates back to the 1950s when John McCarthy said that “computation may someday be organized as a public utility”. In 2007 Google, IBM and a number of universities instituted a sizable cloud computing research project.

Currently SAP and Oracle dominate the market.
