Achieving business value in the Cloud

Hosted Services are empowering 21st Century businesses to move forward, with Talk Talk Business forecasting that the Cloud will support 14 million jobs worldwide by 2015.

As businesses look to derive additional value from ICT, Hosted Services - the Cloud - enables them to operate with greater agility while keeping costs under control.

Cloud Services helps businesses facilitate cost cutting and increased flexibility by sourcing ICT services on demand and reducing the reliance on their own in-house infrastructures.

The Talk Talk Business white paper Hosted Services: achieving business value in the Cloud cites a frustration of businesses in the limited shelf-life of hardware and out-of-the-box software as a catalyst for Cloud Services’ growth rate of a predicted 27% annually over the next few years.

Andy Lockwood, Director of Product & Marketing at Talk Talk Business, says: “The vast majority of ICT services can be provided more cost-effectively and technically better with higher reliability from a Cloud Service”.

The revolutionary nature of Hosted Services is evidenced by the shift to the Cloud in recent years by the likes of Microsoft, Apple and IBM.

Businesses want reduced complexity and enhanced service levels, and as they clamour for real-time solutions to their technology problems, Hosted Services represent the new frontier.
