The Cloud Imperative for Systems Integrators

The Evolution of the Traditional SI Model

Significant cost and complexity of IT outsourcing models have been challenging business productivity of Systems Integrators (SI). Not only do SIs face increased competition and margin pressure, but demands for IT mobility, increased upgrade cycles and multi-screen availability are customer requirements that SIs have to comply with in order to maintain their revenue base. Flexible contracting relationships of pay as you grow licensing based on actual usage, instead of long term licensing investments, are also increasingly popular as cloud awareness grows.

Dont get left behind!

Deploying a cloud services strategy offers SIs the opportunity to address their core customer base with cloud services which are relevant, timely and cost-effective. By integrating cloud services portfolios into their core business, Systems Integrators can:

Reduce costs of services delivery and management Better manage data centre resources through multi-tenant services deployment and virtualisation Deliver private or hybrid cloud services from a single, automated platform Ensure customer satisfaction through mobility and consistent technology refresh

Success from the Cloud

Deploying a cloud services portfolio as an integrated business solution is not a simple task. In order to effectively drive sales and services take-up, the System Integrator must consider the following:

Deliver SaaS, DaaS, and IaaS from one provisioning platform to shared multi-tenant and private dedicated platform instances Maximise investment in data centre and host components of services portfolio locally Give customers ability to self-manage services profiles and portfolios reduce operational overhead
