Set for growth: cloud computing offers flexibility to small firms in Germany
31 May 2010
In this case study, you can read about how cloud computing helps a German company expand its service offerings in new ways, opening new doors and creating new opportunities for growth.
Computacenter is one of Europe’s leading independent providers of IT infrastructure services.
Computacenter had long delivered a range of managed services to large clients, but had become aware that the on-premises services that it could offer clients were not the right fit for many smaller companies that did not want to build or maintain an infrastructure on their own. Computacenter executives in Germany sought a flexible, enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solution that it could offer to smaller clients and soon found the Business Productivity Online Suite from Microsoft Online Services. With the Business Productivity Online Suite, Computacenter has been able to expand its service offerings in new ways, opening new doors and creating new opportunities for growth.
"We already had clear messaging and collaboration offerings for larger customers, but we wanted to add other services to our portfolio that we could use to meet the needs of smaller companies.”
Stefan Bartram, Partner Account Manager, Computacenter
