Starhub unveils cloud marketplace for SMEs
Employees can work anytime, anywhere.
StarHub yesterday unveiled a new cloud marketplace for the country’s SMEs. StarHub’s SmartBusiness brings together a range of cloud applications, and provides an easy experience for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) to buy software and services.
SmartBusiness also provides a gateway for partners such as Microsoft and McAfee as well as independent software vendors (ISVs) such as Deskera and Webnic to make available their applications rapidly to the local SMB base.
“As applications are hosted in the cloud on SmartBusiness, SMB employees are empowered to access these applications and complete their work anywhere, anytime; this way, they do not have to work in the confines of their office,” noted StarHub.
Here’s more from StarHub:
With the software-as-a-service model, SMBs pay monthly only for the applications or services they need without having to make any upfront IT cost or worry about upgrade cost later.In addition, self-service access to applications allows SMBs to enjoy the convenience of managing their subscriptions according to their company needs and size, monitoring application usage as well as having an overview of subscription costs, all from a dedicated online portal.
