New Managed Services Launched!
Recognizing the importance of services, Intel has created a program for its Channel Partners to get "services enabled" i.e being able to offer managed and hosted services. Many Channel Partners are taking advantage of the opportunity to use services to grow their customer base and revenue streams beyond their typical regional boundaries. With hosted services, the provider no longer needs to make face to face sales or support calls, rather can provide the customer support remotely.
Intel's Software and Services Group
Intel's Software and Solutions Group has changed it's name to Software and Services Group, another supporting point showing Intel's commitment to the Services arena. This is also driven in part by the organic evolution of the software industry toward services.
Services and Intel
There has been a crescendo of buzz about Services (i.e. On-Demand/ Software-as-a-Service and Managed Services) and I've recieved several perplexed looks from people wondering what the tie is to Intel. From my perspective, and I'm not the only one who thinks this way, services represent a new software model that can be more cost-effective for small businesses given that they are web-based, and hosted, managed, and supported by solution providers. In a world that has a pace that seems to be speeding up by the second, enabling mobility is where everything is headed.
