👉 Supplier computing refers to the practice where a company outsources its IT infrastructure and services to third-party suppliers, often referred to as cloud service providers or managed service providers. These suppliers offer a range of computing resources, including servers, storage, networking, databases, and software applications, over the internet. By leveraging supplier computing, businesses can reduce capital expenditures, gain access to advanced technologies, enhance scalability and flexibility, and focus more on their core competencies rather than managing complex IT infrastructure. This model typically involves various service models such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), each catering to different levels of control and management needs.
