CSP

Cloud Service Provider

In plain language

A company that provides cloud services, such as Microsoft, Google or Amazon.

The metaphor

Like a utility company for computing: you plug in and pay for what you use.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Large ones run the data centres.
  • Smaller ones resell and support the services.
  • Your agreement says where data is stored and who can access it.
  • Choose carefully, as moving later takes effort.

How WILDCARD handles it

Cloud covers administration of your Microsoft 365 or Google workspace.

In practice
  • A business chooses between two cloud suites.
  • A firm checks where its provider stores data.
  • An office asks who holds the admin keys.

A question owners ask

Can I move providers later?

Yes, with a plan. Migrations are a Projects engagement.
