Cloud Computing is evolving in Latin America #latam
In North America cloud computing is viewed as a way of cleaning up the data center, cutting costs and adding flexibility. South of the border in Latin America it's a whole different story.
Rather than streamlining IT operations and rationalizing costs, many smaller companies see it as a way of instantly ramping up to an even playing field with some of their larger competitors. Forbes caught up with Rodolfo Garcia, president of Terremark Worldwide's ( TMRK - news - people ) Latin American business unit, to talk about what's changing. Terremark Worldwide provides IT infrastructure services.
Good article about the growth of cloud computing and hosted solutions in Latin America... As I wrote before (in my 2010 predictions) more and more companies in Latin America are looking for providers that have cloud and hosted services in the countries or with some sort of near-shoring capabilities. The question will be how many of these solutions will be for CRM, Call Centers, ERP and SCM. If you are a CRM vendor you should be looking at partners like Terremark.
