Editorial Policy
Updated January 17, 2024
Our goal at CloudFlex is to make complex business, financial, and technical information easier for you and to help you gain confidence in making decisions on every aspect of your financial life. Financial life involves challenges and personal decisions whether you are investing, running a business, planning a major purchase, or buying a house.
There are always questions that require answers, and we’ve been helping people get them. Let us explain how we create the articles and reviews you often rely on when looking for those answers and making decisions.
Important! At CloudFlex, we aspire to provide the highest quality content produced by humans for humans. It is against our guidelines to publish automatically generated content using AI (artificial intelligence) writing tools such as ChatGPT.
Principles
Inspire Confidence:
IT Outsourcing, finance, business, and technology can be intimidating as it is a very complex area. We aim to provide you with information that will inspire confidence in you, regardless of your level of experience.
Unbiased:
Our articles and reviews are also unbiased. We carefully research information and make sure that our reviews do not support any specific political or economic points of view.
Accuracy:
Accuracy and clarity are paramount in the world of IT outsourcing. We work with qualified experts to ensure that our information is up-to-date and presented clearly. Any mistakes, inaccuracies, or misrepresentations discovered by our readers are investigated and corrected promptly.
Inclusive:
We work to ensure that our content serves - and depicts with dignity and respect - people of different ages, nationalities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, relationship statuses, physical and mental abilities, and family types.
Ethics
We are committed to following the Codes of Ethics of the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW). Our content is guided by and upholds the Society for Professional Journalists’ foundations of ethical journalism: being accurate and fair, minimizing harm, acting independently, and being accountable and transparent. We also uphold the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on disclosures where applicable.
CloudFlex content is for informational purposes and is not intended to substitute for the advice of licensed or certified technical professionals, certified attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, or other certified financial professionals.
Editorial Process
Our team of editors and network of IT, technical, and finance expert contributors write and manage all the articles you find on CloudFlex. We do not give advice to buy, sell, or hold securities or investments. Instead, we aim to provide relevant analysis, context, insights, and educational information to help clients make informed decisions about their initiatives. Wherever possible, we provide practical examples that help to clarify complex topics and concepts.
Our editorial team is continually evaluating the articles across our site to flag any that contain information that is known to be or is likely to be out-of-date. Such articles are reviewed and updated, or if necessary, completely rewritten, rechecked, and re-edited. Our network of experienced finance and tech experts who uphold our process and policies assist with our updating efforts. Articles that have been updated are date-stamped to reflect this.
Quality Standards
Every article that we create at CloudFlex is the result of the collective efforts of multiple professionals all working together to ensure that it is responsible, accurate, understandable, helpful, and reflective of our editorial principles.
Our editorial team approves all article ideas independently, and our expert contributors each have deep subject matter expertise in the topics that we assign them. Our team of professional editors, fact-checkers, and producers review content to ensure it upholds our values of being empowering, inclusive, unbiased, and accurate.
All staff are responsible for disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.
Corrections
CloudFlex is committed to telling readers when an error has appeared and correcting it. This concerns both small and large mistakes, including news, but only if a mistake was made at the time of original publication. Corrections will be clearly shown on the page.
When our journalism is factually correct but the language is not as clear or detailed as necessary, the story may be updated without an editor’s note. If you believe you have found an error, please contact us at contact@cloudflex.team, and we will fix the matter promptly.
Writers
CloudFlex takes great care in recruiting, vetting, and choosing a team of experts who are highly skilled in various aspects of finance, while others have broad experience as financial and technical writers. Experts are chosen based on their knowledge, experience, and ability to communicate complex topics in clear and actionable language.
Each article written is created or reviewed by an expert in the respective field.
Every article’s author or reviewer is listed at the top of the page above the date and is linked to their biography, which you can click on to learn more about their credentials, education, professional experience, and social media presence.
CloudFlex values transparency and believes that readers should know who is behind the content they are consuming.
All writers are required to uphold the editorial guidelines listed above.
Third-Party Content
Third-party content is carefully reviewed by the CloudFlex editorial team to ensure that it is aligned with our policies and standards. Any such content is labeled clearly and conspicuously to notify you of its source.
