CANCOM Cloud Marketplace goes Austria

Austrian customers can now access the CANCOM Cloud Marketplace leading solutions and services. They benefit from fast, uncomplicated and scalable access to a wide range of multi-cloud solutions - with monthly billing for all services purchased.

A growing number of companies are opting for "Software as a Service" (Saas). Obtaining software directly from the cloud is flexible and quickly scalable. Nevertheless, there are challenges, for example due to the rapidly growing, barely manageable range of solutions or the risk of "shadow IT". A cloud marketplace helps companies to maintain an overview, simplifies the central provision of software for employees and enables the seamless use of solutions from different providers.

Companies need to be and remain flexible. As the company grows or circumstances change, resources can be adapted by adding users or functions. SaaS solutions can be implemented without investment and infrastructure requirements. Companies also benefit from cost efficiency: the reduced IT complexity leads to significantly lower maintenance and servicing costs. Automatic functional enhancements also enable continuous innovation potential. In addition, SaaS-based provisioning models impress with their simplicity and convenience. With the CANCOM Cloud Marketplace, companies can use SaaS while ensuring a high level of security and integrity, manage the purchase and procurement of hundreds of SaaS applications, and ensure consistent service and support for end users. "The expansion of our Cloud Marketplace to Austria is a major milestone in CANCOM's digitization agenda for our customers, because the procurement of modern cloud services via digital self-service processes is a key success factor in the IT strategy of every company," says Peter Weisbach, Senior Vice President Unified Commerce at CANCOM.
