IT Support London Company, Ziptech Services Managing Director, Jim Simpson believes that for some of his customer base Cloud Computing will allow them to run applications in the cloud in many cases without the need for internal IT resource.
“We believe that it is so easy now for business owners of small and medium sized operations and start-ups to take advantage of the Cloud based business applications that a dedicated IT resource is not always necessary. Cloud Computing has really made it much easier to exploit software with very little dedicated in-house IT resource.
Of course it also depends on a number of other factors such as the number of applications you want to run and whether there is the need to integrate them, the number of users you have, the amount you spend and how IT literate members of the (non-technical)
IT Support London company, Ziptech Services has seen many more of its clients move to a hybrid cloud model over the past 12 months and expects many more to follow during 2012, with some making the transition to being fully in the cloud by the end of the year.
Simpson concludes:
Despite the fact that Cloud Computing can increase the independence of small businesses it would be madness to suggest that they will never need specialist help and expertise to get up and running. We always tell our clients that although Cloud Computing removes the need to physically install the software it does not take away the possibility that some help and training may be required. It is best to take each case in isolation and advise them based on their IT knowledge base, their software portfolio and existing IT infrastructure.”
Ziptech prides itself on being at the forefront of providing SMBs with the types of IT services that they need to run their businesses efficiently. They were one of the first IT Support companies to offer packaged Cloud Computing appraisals, helping clients assess their needs and advising on how Cloud Computing could work to improve their current business set up.
