“Traditionally, telcos have dominated the SME market for telecom services, as opposed to the cloud service providers,” says Daniel Ramos, Senior Consultant at Pyramid Research. However, telcos are in a vulnerable position due to strong competition from well-established cloud service providers and moving forward telcos and cloud service providers are expected to coexist. Pyramid expects the Latin American SME cloud services market to consolidate and strategic alliances between market players to continue to emerge, as telcos will spin out their cloud services divisions. SME cloud services will converge and will evolve from a horizontal to a vertical focus, while the cloud aggregator/broker model will become mainstream in Latin America, he notes.
