When a company is searching for a Cloud provider needs to take in consideration some important things to make the right choice. Indeed, a valuable IT partner is able to support the business step by step and not only from a strictly technological perspective, by guaranteeing the best service available.
Among the criteria deemed essential to choose correctly, SLA and assistance are at the forefront. SLA (Service Level Agreement) define the conditions of service which must be respected by the provider towards its customers, for instance the quality of service. Custom SLA next to 100% are considered basic by entrepreneurs for a good service. Technical assistance should be available h24 to cover customer’s needs of support: weekends, holidays or nights, possible downtimes needs to be managed and solved immediately. According to a research done in Italy, there’s another key factor which affects the final decision: the provenance of the Cloud provider. Many firms prefer an Italian company rather than a big corporation.
