ITBusinessEdge: Microsoft – SMBs Using Hosted Services Do Better

SMB Tech blogger Paul Mah dissects new research commissioned by Microsoft showing that many – but not quite – most hosted services users see a revenue increase.


“Research from a new study commissioned by Microsoft has found a link between companies that use hosted services and their fiscal performance. The findings are part of Microsoft’s global SMB IT and Hosted IT Index 2010, which investigates how SMBs use technology, as well as how they fared during the recession.

The study polled 3,193 small and medium businesses across various industries from 15 countries.”
