Capterra Glossary
IUS, or infrastructure utility services, refers to a third party providing essential infrastructure services, such as power and telecommunications. This could include providing electricity via an on-site solar power generation system or installing fiber optic cable to provide internet access.
Having access to IUS gives a small business more control over the services they use. Outsourcing these tasks to a third-party provider can ensure that their equipment is always up to date and functioning correctly without having any extra costs associated with maintenance or repairs. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses that operate in remote areas with no infrastructure available locally. It also allows them to focus on other aspects of their business while knowing that everything will continue running smoothly even if something unexpected happens.
