Businesses more willing to offload applications to remote hosters

Applications are critical for the smooth operation of any business engaged in accounting, ERP or spreadsheets. That explains why many businesses have been reluctant to offload applications to remote hosters. However, in the current business climate the reluctance may be diminishing.

According to solution providers, more customers are beginning to appreciate the merits of allowing outside management of applications. It permits them to redirect IT resources in ways that help them compete, such as building new and better applications. Moreover, it can dispose of the need to field an internal IT team. A remote management partner also brings with it experience and lessons gleaned from similar implementations thereby economically watching, patching and managing applications.

For businesses concerned about the cost of keeping it both competitive and profitable most pricing includes consultation which takes place in advance.
Previous trends demonstrated that smaller companies are more willing to offload applications while mid-sized companies with their own IT teams were more reluctant to do so.
