Abstract
This IDC Study looks at the cloud services/computing strategies of
the telecommunications providers in the Asia/Pacific region. These providers were
chosen due to their recent announcements of getting into the
cloud services space.
"The paradigm shift from a capex to an
opex model among organizations is creating a new economy with
new business models and methods of doing business. Some of
the fundamental benefits of cloud services also include services that
scale efficiently and flexibility in terms of payments with a
low startup capital cost. Ease of deployment and scalability are
other driving factors in the adoption of cloud services. Telecom
carriers should find the right partners and work together to
create a win-win working model and a portfolio of service
offerings that will enable them to meet the new demands
of organizations," says Zarina Jabbar, research manager, Asia/Pacific Communications Research,
IDC Asia/Pacific.
