Helping SMEs to punch above their weight
Moving to the cloud allows small businesses to get rid of costly infrastructure, switching capex into opex
SMALL and medium businesses (SMBs) all around the world are actively looking at moving to the cloud. The cloud makes a lot of sense for small businesses. There's no need to run servers on premises, no need to have a managed service provider on call to fix failed hardware or handle backups. All of that's handled by a cloud provider, whether it's Office 365's cloud productivity, or Salesforce's CRM.
For a small business, cloud services allow you to do more than just get rid of costly infrastructure, switching capex into opex. They also let you punch above your weight.
You might not normally have considered CRM without looking at Salesforce subscription plans, or using Lync to take calls from Skype users without Office 365. It's the scale of cloud that lets you handle these more complex scenarios, without needing extra hardware or tools. It's not only infrastructure, but also the technical expertise and people to deploy and manage the said infrastructure.
