Service providers: setting yourself apart

Data and applications are often better managed in the cloud than by the companies themselves.
There is more knowledge among service providers, so they can ensure higher availability and can
usually intervene faster in case of emergencies.
Service providers benefit from the popularity of cloud computing. But this can also lead to proliferation and declining quality. Professional service providers are seeking ways to dierentiate
themselves from the competition. Employees with the EXIN Cloud Computing certificate are
evidence of a professional customer approach.
