SunGard: Cloud computing is best investment

It is best practice for businesses to invest in business management software, according to a recent white paper.

Published by SunGard Availability Services, it was concluded that while cloud computing is far from being a revolutionary new idea, it is still an "evolutionary concept" which amalgamates various existing technologies to create a great new IT provisioning tool.

Resiliency must be prioritised, however, and an investment must be made in continuity and availability.

It argued that advantages of such systems are very clear, such as "efficiency, scalability, flexibility and easier outsourcing".

SunGard continued: "Organisations should now be evaluating how and where they can benefit from transferring systems and applications over to a cloud computing environment."

It added that by making the most out of cloud computing opportunities, companies "will enable [their] IT systems to be more efficient and cost effective; in turn helping to make [their] business more profitable".

Last month, Everton Football Club revealed that it had invested in hosted IT services to deal with its emails.
