Key points
-
For SMEs, Cloud is about avoiding the headache that IT can create - all of their technology can be taken from their premises and delivered back to them via a hosted desktop on any device
-
The Cloud Industry Forum has successfully developed their Code of Practice - the only entity in the UK to currently do so - to create comfort for SMEs, regulating service and delivery from employment practice to the physical storage of data
-
A recent case study produced by a ChannelCloud partner, highlighted reasons to move to the Cloud instead of refreshing their on-premises IT: constant availability, uniform software application and the fact that it enables international mobility
-
Given that Cloud both removes the need for technology to be acquired and installed, and leaves an SME with a corporate-level system, available anywhere, a CapEx vs OpEx calculation proves it to be a win-win situation
-
ICT has previously been a burden for SMEs, in terms of acquisition and maintenance - with the successful development of Cloud, Paul believes ICT will follow the path of electricity: we’ll consume it over a wire or a wireless network
