GOVERNANCE, COMPLIANCE AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Positioning the agnostic cloud provider

As the hyperscale cloud service providers enter the South African market, hosters, cloud providers and system Integrators alike are striving to move up the value chain and position themselves in order to retain their relevance. In doing so, they’re emphasising the value of hybrid cloud and the ability to move from provider to provider with only limited restrictions. Positioning oneself as the broker of cloud would be the goal of every provider, but if the whole market takes that position - how does the customer make that choice?

  • Our aim is to talk through some of the key attributes which could help customers distinguish between the hopefuls and the providers that are positioning themselves to put the customer first.
