MACAU, China -- CTM, Cable & Wireless Communications’ business in Macau, has extended its suite of cloud computing services with software enabling local small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to manage their businesses when away from the office.

Cloud computing is enabling enterprises to save costs and increase efficiency by accessing IT services through the internet (‘the cloud’). Software delivered via the cloud (known as ‘software as a service’) is rented as a managed service which can help customers to reduce the cost of licences and IT support staff.

CTM launched its first cloud services earlier this year in collaboration with Cisco. The company’s first software as a service product has been jointly developed with Microsoft and a Macau based software house, Laxino Technology Limited.

Called ‘Office Anywhere’ the software helps customers to manage their emails, calendar and corporate intranet via any PC or smartphone device.
