General opinion suggests that new hosting models such as Cloud and SAAS are a great opportunity to drive down cost and improve flexibility when compared to traditional outsourcing or in-house solutions. There has been much written about the technical implications of delivering these solutions but when you look behind the marketing “guff” are the commercial risks and opportunities worth tackling and exploiting? Antony leads the IT Vendor Management function in Royal Mail and has been involved in procuring and commercially managing a number of new hosting solutions. This briefing will present a number of recommendations Antony has compiled from his own experience and pose a number of questions for a discussion to be centred around.
