The newest evolution in outsourcing technology has become to use ‘The Cloud’ – an internet based shared technology outsourcing platform – especially for small businesses.
The Cloud allows users across the globe to share the information technology support, with data, information, resources and software, for no cost. In this way outsourcing technology has changed in structure – you can now outsource a great deal of the every day technology support to the Cloud, while maintaining a degree of your own personal business outsourcing or on-site technology support.
Austin-based research firm Spiceworks conducted a survey globally including one and a half thousand IT professionals at small businesses (with under 1,000 employees). And found that there is a massive push in small businesses to use the Cloud, whereas larger businesses are keen but slower to join. Mainly due to the large investments they have in their existing technology infrastructure, says Spiceworks co-founder Jay Halberg.
“Small companies with little existing infrastructure and outsourced IT are moving most quickly to the cloud, whereas larger SMBs are taking more measured steps due to considerable investments in onsite technology,” Halberg said in an interview. “With seven times as many users as the enterprise market, it’s important for cloud service vendors to consider cloud service adoption patterns and to make it simple for SMBs to manage hybrid on-premise and cloud solutions.”
