Champion Solutions Group

It was a no-brainer, an obvious choice, when Champion Solutions Group spread its wings and launched the Champion Cloud Services practice, a new division offering consulting services to help companies leverage cloud computing to deliver IT services to end users.

And in just a month, the Boca Raton, Fla.-based solution provider, which focuses on IT services delivery, has already delivered cloud solutions to three customers — two existing clients and one new client. Champion’s early success with its fledgling Cloud Services division is a testament to the need for organizations to save the up-front costs of bulky hardware and migrate to the operational costs of the cloud.

Meanwhile, solution providers like Champion are also reaping the benefits, bringing in a new monthly revenue stream by offering their client bases a migration path into the burgeoning world of cloud services.

Chris Pyle, Champion Solutions Group’s president and CEO, said the new Cloud Services group evolved out of interest from customers. But despite the interest, Pyle said Champion launched its cloud division cautiously.

I spoke with Chris Pyle the other day, and it was great to hear his take on Cloud Computing and what opportunities they saw not only in terms of developing cloud services but also in meeting end user requirements using a more efficient delivery mechanism, particularly as organizations try to manage their organizational requirements (that IT works) with the available capex and opex costs. It’s only when we start looking at what it is we need from our IT, that we can decide what is core to our business, and what we could allow or afford to have someone else run, the backups, the email as a service or even on demand compute capacity or disaster recovery. It was great speaking with Chris and understanding his views about cloud and it generated some interesting thoughts. I remain a fan of cloud, the more services we can offer in an accessible and affordable, the more users we can potentially onboard, the more possibilities for revenue, innovation and business transformation that can be realized.
