In all relationships, communication is critical—especially when it impacts business, such as the relationship between a colocation provider and client. To explore this dynamic, IT managers and facility managers using cloud, colocation, or hosting as part of their data center ecosystem were surveyed to find out what they think of their service provider.

Service providers should attend this webinar to find out what their clients like, don’t like and ultimately what they wish providers would do for them. Users should attend to hear what their peers say about their experiences.
