What OnBase Cloud Services Is
OnBase Cloud Services is Hyland's cloud-hosted edition of the OnBase Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform. Courts, government agencies, healthcare systems, and large institutions use OnBase to capture, store, route, and retrieve documents at scale. The cloud edition replaces on-premises OnBase deployments with Hyland-managed infrastructure, subscription pricing, and automatic version updates.

The Credential
9+ years (since 2017) of continuous hands-on OnBase work at Michigan court-technology firms. Engagements have spanned single-county MiFile integrations, multi-jurisdiction TrueFiling rollouts, and statewide OnBase Cloud migration planning. Vendor-neutral — AppWT is not a Hyland reseller, which means recommendations are based on what fits the client's architecture, not on Hyland sales quotas.
