Examples of where a SME might already be using cloud services are Microsoft/Office 365 for daily employee activities (business processes), Xero (accounting), CRM systems such as Salesforce (sales), email delivery platforms such as mailchimp, constant contact for customer engagement (marketing), one drive storage, or Hosted Office email exchange.

Cloud services fall into three broad categories:
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): IAAS gives cloud-based alternatives to physical on-premises infrastructure. It delivers scalability while minimising capital investments. Data storage capacity, server virtualisation, Amazon Web Services or iCloud and data centres are examples.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS): Hardware and software tools that are used to develop business applications, for example Microsoft Azure.
  • Software as a Service (SaaS): Software delivered by the internet, with no local installations on devices. An example would be Microsoft/Office 365, it delivers significant expenditure savings and greater cash flow control. You only pay for what you use each month.

Cloud Services allows the SME to maximise advantage through the outsourcing of its IT department to providers like Computer Troubleshooters. This allows the business to avoid the costs associated with attracting highly skilled and expensive staff. It’s all monitored, managed, and maintained by Computer Troubleshooters under a monthly plan.
