How many sites do your clients’ networks link? For many, it’s as many as three or four or more. And too often the multiple locations where their data resides are subject to critical network dependencies easily perturbed in such deeply interconnected environments.
This likely explains why there was a 68% jump between 2017 and 2018 in the rate that network errors triggered unplanned downtime.
By 2025, 80% of enterprises will give up their on-premises data centers and move workloads to colocation and/or cloud and managed services.
As your clients’ business requirements drive how they choose which workloads to place where, they face decisions centered around how much control they need over their servers and their data. Odds are that’s when you’ll hear from them.
Your clients’ increasingly cloud-centric IT environments are becoming an ever more complex hybrid that needs to be managed in entirely new ways. And their best option is a trusted managed service provider with deep cloud experience.

Any of these five complaints signal a client’s need for cloud help:
Do you have clients with more than one location? Are you hearing complaints from them about uneven application performance, network management hassles, and an uptick in cyberthreats?
Chances are these clients need to upgrade their traditional wide-area network (WAN) and dedicated multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) circuits
Do your clients know that 47% of smaller businesses have suffered a cyberattack in the last year — and nearly half of those experienced multiple cyberattacks? Midmarket companies fare even worse: some 53% have experienced a data breach.
Attackers now see small/midmarket businesses as soft-target conduits into their larger partner companies. If your clients haven’t been attacked yet, either they’re lucky or they haven’t yet discovered the breach.
Those inevitable evolutions in technology that your clients must embrace to stay competitive tend to involve integrations of old and new systems, software, functions, and processes.
These efforts often require long-term as well as short-term technical expertise. In effect, your clients require technical expertise on call 24 x 7 x 365.
