Integration. It's what the IT industry has been best known
for over the years, and cloud computing doesn't change that one
bit, except perhaps to expand the possibilities.
The fact is that many customers are concerned about choosing "the
right cloud solution" when the fact is that the best cloud strategy
more often than not involves several different cloud services from
several different cloud service providers.
For example, you may decide that you want to increase the business
agility of all of your people by delivering productivity
applications like Microsoft Office to them via the cloud. You
might choose to subscribe all of them to Microsoft Office 365 to do
that. Should you decide that you wish to extend that to
include telephone service, you might then decide that services from
WorkSpace Communications are the best solution to provide complete
integration from presence to instant messaging, to voice, video,
application sharing, and, yes, even telephone.
Most companies also use highly specialized software designed to
run their particular business on. To reduce your operating
costs and eliminate future capital investments you may decide to
run that software on servers provided by RackSpace. To
provide high availability and emergency failover capability in the
extremely remote event of a problem you may also decide to
incorporate solutions from Neverfail.
