Services Provider

• Do you know that the successful transition to
  cloud solution services does not depend solely on
  you? So who else is responsible for it? The
  service provider who is assisting you in making
  the transition and implementing the cloud-managed
  services. Do you know how you can choose the
  right cloud managed service provider?
• Here are six best practices that will help you
  reach the correct decision.

3
Look for the right credentials

• Does your service provider have the required
  certificates and credentials? What is their
  relationship with top service providers such as
  AWS, Azure, and Google? Answers to these
  questions prove that your data is in safe hands
  and the cloud management service provider is
  reliable and adept for the task.

4
Check the technological capabilities

• Besides certification, also check if the service
  provider's technical knowledge and skill set are
  updated per the current trends. You should also
  analyze your service provider's cloud
  architectures, standards, and policies to judge
  if they are a perfect fit for your business.

5
Ask for a legal service agreement

• Do not shy away from drawing up a contract that
  safeguards the interests of both parties. Legal
  service level agreements answer the what, why,
  how, and when of measuring cloud managed services
  providers' performance.  

6
Inquire about support services

• You will need support and maintenance services
  after the cloud implementation. Ensure that the
  cloud partner offers post-sales services. You
  must also be aware of the expected time required
  to resolve any critical issue so that your
  business does not suffer.

7
Compare and analyze cost

• Do not settle on one vendor. It is advisable to
  evaluate all suitable alternatives and compare
  the cost of services.
