 After introducing cloud-based services in 2011, the leading enterprise services provider in the Caribbean is now expanding its suite to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the region.

LIME, the Caribbean business of Cable & Wireless Communications, pioneered cloud services in the Caribbean with its launch of LIME Cloud in Jamaica last year. The service offers customers access to a bank of virtual computer servers which enable them to host IT infrastructure online. This provides SMEs with a flexible and cost-effective alternative to maintaining servers within their offices.

For example, IT teams sometimes want to test new software on a separate server before rolling it out across their company. Previously they would have needed to purchase, house and maintain a permanent server for that purpose.

Due to the popularity of the LIME Cloud amongst Jamaica SMEs the product will now be sold across 13 Caribbean markets alongside a range of complementary cloud-based services.

LIME has created a virtual office suite which uses cloud-technology to provide business customers with a range of telecom services such as voice, email, video conferencing and data storage, all hosted and managed online.

Managing Director of Products and Services at LIME, Ian Galt said: “Organisations of all sizes are becoming more willing to outsource the management of IT and telecom services and we view this as an opportunity, using cloud-based technology, to grow enterprise revenue from SME businesses.”
