Simplifying the complexities and lowering the barrier to adoption around technology should be a core mission for any MSP. And given that so much of today’s technology ecosystem resides in the cloud, fulfilling that mission requires an MSP to excel at cloud engineering. Let’s examine why most organizations need some level of cloud engineering support, and how ECI is a leading-edge provider of cloud engineering services that enable clients to get the most performance, security and scalability out of their cloud investments.
Organizations Need Engineering Support to Maximize Their Cloud Investments
Cloud computing and SaaS platforms have opened up a wealth of new technology options to organizations. The cloud allows companies to avoid costly infrastructure investments and sidestep the need to hire an army of technologists to run legacy networks and on-prem databases. But that doesn’t mean the cloud is turnkey. Especially if growth and scaling operations are priorities, organizations need to apply some level of engineering to effectively leverage their cloud investments.
Firms working to scale their cloud operations often find their in-house engineers tied up with maintenance and support for that effort, rather than focusing on business value. Even when they can find the time, in-house IT teams struggle through analysis paralysis around strategic choices like where to start or how to scope and execute on the most appropriate approach – whether that’s open source, cloud agnostic, cloud native or some other methodology.
To solve these challenges, organizations need engineering support and resources from a partner who can help build, maintain, secure and scale modern cloud infrastructure. In particular, alternative investment firms require a partner that understands their business and their industry – including knowing which rules from SEC, FINRA and other regulatory bodies apply to their cloud operation, and how to coordinate what, for many financial sector firms, amounts to a global network of cloud-based financial exchanges and databases.
