TMS Cloud Vision
We are in the midst of a fundamental shift, as more and more enterprises start to use services enabled by cloud technologies.
Some organisations are looking to enhance their own infrastructure and develop private clouds to service their internal requirements with efficient, elastic and automated provisioning of resources and applications.
Many have already started to deploy line of business applications that are delivered as a service from an ever growing community of SaaS vendors. More still are planning a hybrid approach with core services and critical applications managed on premise, with some line of business applications and secondary infrastructure resources managed as a service in the cloud.
Trustmarque is already working with many organisations in the midst of this transition, from simple advice and guidance to providing critical technology and planning services we are helping them realise their move to cloud. Our recent acquisition of Nimbus Technology Systems Ltd provides us with even more tools, services and expertise to be able to help our customers safely and securely adopt cloud technologies or services.
The Future
As the cloud market develops, more and more technologies will be offered as a managed service. This 'externalisation' of IT is both compelling and concerning in equal measures; cloud technologies offer the promise of agility and efficiency, yet on the other hand, questions remain around compliance, licensing, governance and security. There is also the issue of interoperability and how best to 'knit' these managed services together with on-premise applications, to deliver the best business process outcomes.
Over the coming months and years, organisations will continue to be under pressure to build more efficient, flexible, and dynamic IT environments and to address these complex questions while remaining safe and secure.
As a result, the need for a trusted and capable partner like Trustmarque, will be more acute than ever before. Partner organisations should have expert licensing knowledge, relevant managed services, strong vendor relationships and the ability to provide hands on support with technology adoption whether it's on or off premise.
Trustmarque is continually evolving to adapt to the needs of our customers. The Nimbus acquisition is just the first step on our journey to become the partner of choice for IT professionals who need to evolve and enhance their organisations IT environment and provide safe, secure, efficient and reliable computing for the years to come...
