More and more organisations are waking up to the fact that their current in house provision is wasteful, costly and inefficient. In today’s environment there are plenty of ways of outsourcing unnecessary elements of traditional in house IT provision and there are plenty of IT managed services providers queuing up to offer their services.
The big buzz in computing is the cloud. Instead of storing information on hard drives and servers internally, information can be held by cloud computing providers and accessed as and when required. This can have huge cost implications, slashing the costs associated with maintaining in house machines. It also allows things like mobile working. As long as users can access the data held in the cloud they can work from pretty much anywhere. And with the cost of office space at a premium this is very attractive. Home working is a much lower cost option for organisations.
So with all of these IT managed services to choose from, how should a company go about selecting a partner to work with. After all it isn’t an easy decision. There’s a lot at stake. Access to and protection of all of this data is not a task to entrust to some fly by night operator.
No, when it comes to this kind of outsourcing it pays to find reputable and experienced cloud computing providers. Companies with the resources, reputation and capability to handle this kind of transfer seamlessly. A company that can be relied upon utterly to provide a premium service.
