Third party cloud infrastructure solutions also surface
many opportunities for managing income for customers,
sales and marketing staff, as new pricing models can be
offered to them. This is a benefit, in contrast to internal data
centers which require a pricing to model comprising of a
large upfront fee plus monthly support costs (due to cashflow
issues), as customers can be offered more choice over
how they want pay or alternatively the finance department
can choose to get the infra-structure outsourcer to bill their
customers directly reducing the finance departments’
administrative burden.
