DiData's new global cloud service

With Dimension Data's global Cloud Services, companies can become more agile, lower their IT infrastructure management expenses, and reduce cloud migration complexity and risk.

"Our clients realise the transformational potential of cloud computing, whether it's moving into new markets, launching new products, or improving IT efficiency," CEO of Dimension Data's Cloud Solutions Business Unit, Steve Nola said. "They're also aware that migrating to the cloud is complex, with significant implications to their business across operations and IT. Our Cloud Services are designed to help clients reduce costs, move faster and manage risk effectively."
