Telecommunications services provided to the business community have overwhelmingly changed over the past decade due to cloud technologies. Originally, businesses’ small, medium and large leveraged cloud-based services to reduce IT staff, up-front capex, network outages (disaster recovery services) and ongoing operations costs. In addition to basic infrastructure, cloud market has emerged into thousands of niche services and specialized providers with offers ranging from hosted PBX, AI and machine learning, IOT, blockchain, satellite, video distribution, health-care, fleet management … and the list grows each day.
