The world of work has fundamentally changed with laptops, tablets, and smartphones – the workplace is now just a click away. The days of network downtime, hardware crashes, and office-bound employees are over. Expensive infrastructure, software updates, sourcing technical staff and maintenance are gone.

Cloud computing means connecting through the Internet to data and applications stored on managed servers, and is the most flexible way to add that capacity to your business. It is where compute, virtualisation, access, applications, and information meet. It is a platform that enables you to access industry-leading agility, redundancy, security, data sovereignty and privacy without having to invest in the staff or expertise to manage it. It is the platform that enables you to stop investing in technology, and start investing in your growth – you can redivert capital away from technology and reinvest in your future. Eileen Smith, program manager at IDC, said that “the technological innovations and enabling capabilities unleashed by cloud have fostered new opportunities across the industries.
