The cloud opportunity is huge.If you’re in any kind of IT service business, the cloud brings a thousand opportunities – both for yourself and for your customers.


iijeurope.com


Over the last few years, cloud computing has transformed companies:

• Into businesses with future-ready IT infrastructures

• Into businesses with efficient, scalable business operations

• Into businesses that continuously innovate products and services

That’s really good news. And it opens up the potential to tap into whole new revenue streams.



iijeurope.com


But the arrival of the cloud has also raised expectations.

It has radically changed the way companies think about service models and contract terms.

For instance, your customers are already expecting you to offer them flexible, cloud-inspired business terms:

• PAYG

• Shorter contracts

• Lower volume commitments

That means they’re shifting some of their risk over to you.


iijeurope.com


And they want you – their existing IT service partner – to sort the cloud for their business.


iijeurope.com


For anyone in the IT service business, a strong cloud service offer has become essential.Your customers are expecting you to deliver a solution for them that gives them all the benefits of the cloud:

• Reliable, proven technology

• More flexibility for their operations and licenses

• Effortless scalability

• Lower upfront costs

• Quicker time-to-market

• The ability to go global

And so on.


iijeurope.com


You need to be able to create a powerful, efficient cloud service for your customers.

Right now. (Quickly, anyway.)

Customised to their needs. (At top-notch quality that works from day one.)

At competitive cost. (Of course, it has to be affordable.)

In short:


iijeurope.com


Quick, high quality, affordable?Some would say that’s impossible. We don’t think so. But we agree that it’s exceptionally hard to draw the magic triangle freehand if your core business isn’t cloud computing.

And that’s because:

Cloud computing is complex.Cloud complexity starts with the long question: which cloud?*These are your options:• Public?• Private?• Your own solution?

*(And it doesn’t end there.)

iijeurope.com


There’s the public cloud.

It’s easily affordable, comes with no or low-commitment contracts, and scales instantly, if needed.

But it’s based on non-standard technology. And that means it works well for one-off projects, but isn’t really an option when it comes to integration and high security requirements.

iijeurope.com


Then there’s the private cloud.

This one gives you peace of mind when it comes to security. It’s customisable to your business requirements, so you can integrate the private cloud with your existing setup.

But it’s inflexible once mapped out. And it usually comes with long-term lock-in into contracts.

iijeurope.com


You could, of course, build your own cloud service and offer it to your customers.

But if you’re a VAR, an ISV or an MSP, you probably don’t have the manpower and time to invest in building up serious cloud knowledge.

So what should you do?You should do what anybody would do when they’ve got a tough job but not enough resources or time.Work with an expert… work with us.

Here’s why:
