If you are an “IT guy” offering managed services may be a no-brainer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve done it or are doing it successfully. If you aren’t an IT guy, but a telecom reseller or agent, and you see the opportunity, but are concerned about your lack of IT expertise. Either way, building a new line of business can be intimidating — not to mention capital- and time-intensive — without reasonable assurances of success
Odds are even the smallest of your clients can help their bottom lines by improving the ability to communicate and collaborate — with each other, with their customers, with partners and suppliers.
Combine that need for effective communication and collaboration with the power of today’s Cloud and mobile technologies — and you have an enormous opportunity: ”Video-for-Everyone”.
Congratulations, you’ve made the decision to partner with a reliable cloud services provider to deliver the cloud to your customers. It does you little good to have found a cloud partner, if your customers call somebody else.

With all the hype these days about Cloud computing , it can be easy to forget two very important facts:
Not all Clouds are created equal. Different types of Clouds — say, public versus private versus hybrid — have different capabilities and limitations. What’s more, some Cloud providers do a better job than others of building the best Cloud infrastructure and maintaining an ability to customize it to meet customer requirements.
Not all applications and data belong in a Cloud environment.
No matter what current IT solution you are offering to customers, you are most likely evaluating how to adapt your current business model so you can thrive in the new age of cloud computing.
