Managed Services

One of the most important aspects of Cloud Services that will greatly contribute to its market adoption and growth is the removal of the complexities.  Companies of all shapes and sizes, most not offering a technical product or service, are simply not interested in Storage Area Network Solutions, Hosted Virtual Servers, or Virtual Storage.  What they're interested in is bringing their products and services to market in the simplest most seamless means possible.  Enterprises have always cringed at not only the costs of ever growing data centers, but also all the complexities attributed to every request made of their IT department.  I'm not saying that IT is made up entirely of a bunch of naysayers, although there's a few out there (you know who you are).  There have been many times in my career when I've had to clarify that I'm not making it complex, it is complex. But Cloud Services, or more specifically Software as a Service, is going to help simplify the process of providing to business units, and yes even end users, the services that they need without complexities involved in the underlying infrastructure.

Go Cloud!
