Explaining the concept behind cloud, Paratus managing director John D'Alton pointed to the term as all-encompassing, consisting of various services.

“It is clear that the key drivers towards cloud services stems from initial capital investment, ongoing operational and maintenance costs as well as requiring dedicated resources to manage information communication technology efficiently,” said D'Alton.

According to him, owning information technology infrastructure such as servers and applications creates complexity and requires valuable business resources to manage and maintain. Increased complexity means increased direct and indirect hidden costs.

Cloud, D'Alton explained, was being utilised on an almost daily basis for very complex, but even very basic purposes.

“If you own a smartphone, you are most likely already utilising some key functionalities of cloud services in your daily life such as Google Drive, iCloud drive, Dropbox or other online backup facilities,” he added. Beyond the individual case, the corporate world was looking for alternatives of driving towards lower operational costs and cloud offerings were the best solution leveraging all the benefits against almost zero capital requirements.

“Ultimately, cloud service provides your business with more value from your information technology investment, which makes perfect business sense,” D'Alton said.
