BT Compute Professional Services.
Helping you get the most from your IT.

services available on demand, less capital tied up in maintenancehungry, on-premises systems.
Migrating services and applications to the cloud is seen by CIOs as
critical to achieving digital transformation.
By
2018
it’s predicted at least half of all IT spending
will be in the cloud.*
Balancing risk with business outcomes.
But there are also concerns. How secure will your data be? How do
you guarantee your end-users have the best experience possible?
Which type of cloud is best for your business? And how do
you move applications to the cloud quickly but securely,
without disruption?
32%
of enterprises say they don’t have the in-house
skills to manage cloud migration.*
Change is the norm.
Whether through business growth, acquisition, merger or
consolidation, modern organisations are constantly changing.

you on your cloud journey to mitigate risk and make sure your
transition is smooth. This is where we can help.
