Every day we build on this experience by directly engaging with IT Service Providers from small start-ups to multi-national entities as we help them leverage the huge market potential created by cloud computing. 

Limitless Opportunity in the Cloud

Vendor promotion, media coverage and consumer awareness for cloud computing is sky-high, but does all this hype really translate into business opportunity for VARs and MSPs? For the first time since the emergence of cloud computing, the answer is unequivocally “yes”.  We are now seeing tangible evidence that the hype cycle is over and the buying cycle for cloud services is underway. 

*  IDC is forecasting a 27% annual growth rate in cloud services through 2014

*  At this rate, cloud services will grow at 5 times the rate of traditional IT services

*  McKinsey says SMBs with less that 250 employees are twice as likely to use cloud services vs. enterprises

*  Gartner predicts revenue from the SMB segment will account for $150 billion in annual sales by 2013 

*  Forrester projects global cloud computing will rise from $40.7 billion this year to more than $241 billion in 2020

*  Cisco predicts global cloud IP traffic will increase twelve-fold, accounting for one-third of total data center traffic by 2015

No matter how you look at the data, the conclusions are crystal clear. The IT services market is undergoing a major shift  away from premise-based IT and toward cloud-based IT. This will have a major impact on the business and delivery model for VARs, MSPs and other IT Service Providers. If your business is in one of these categories, you will need to transform into a Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) to exploit this market opportunity or risk being left behind. However, making the transformation is not without significant challenges leaving many IT Service Providers unable to cross the chasm and become a successful Cloud Service Provider.  Are you ready to cross the CSP chasm?
