👉 Contractor computing, also known as cloud contract computing or third-party cloud computing, is a service model where businesses outsource their computing resources—such as servers, storage, and software—to external cloud service providers. Unlike traditional on-premises computing, where companies manage and maintain their own hardware and software infrastructure, contractor computing allows organizations to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency of cloud technologies. In this model, the client typically enters into a contract with the cloud provider, specifying the services needed and agreeing to pay for them based on usage or a fixed fee. This approach enables businesses to quickly adapt to changing demands, reduce capital expenditures on hardware, and focus on core business activities without the burden of managing IT infrastructure.
