Fujitsu, a provider of technology and IT services has launched a cloud consulting service, which will help senior IT decision makers to understand how they could potentially be using cloud within their organisation.

The new service will provide advice and guidance on how Cloud should be exploited to drive business value and provide expert advice on key considerations such as security and legal/data compliance.

The new offering is designed to help customers: understand the disruptive element of cloud and the opportunities it brings; assess the different options and make informed decisions about the right cloud offerings for their organisation; and develop a clear roadmap for harnessing cloud to drive significant business value.

Fujitsu UK and Ireland cloud consulting head Jo Millott said cloud is no longer the preserve of just the IT department, it is coming to much broader CXO attention and subsequently CIOs must be well equipped and prepared.

"I firmly believe that by combining Fujitsu’s proven infrastructure and technology capabilities with a formalised consulting practice, we have a unique proposition in the IT services market," Millott said.

The company said that the new Cloud offering is available to both existing customers who are considering moving certain functions to the cloud and to engage with new customers.
