Emergence of Infrastructure-as-a-Service Business Models

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is reshaping how infrastructure assets are delivered, financed, and managed. Instead of upfront capital delivery, organisations are moving toward outcome-based service models that emphasise long-term performance, operational efficiency, and measurable value creation. This shift introduces major changes to risk allocation, revenue structures, and accountability, while requiring new capabilities in digital monitoring, predictive maintenance, and continuous service optimisation.

This white paper explores how IaaS transforms traditional engineering relationships, the regulatory and contractual implications of performance-based service models, and the technical frameworks required to ensure reliability over extended asset lifecycles. It also outlines how CBS Group applies ISO 44001, Technical Assurance, and systems engineering to help clients build resilient, measurable, service-driven infrastructure partnerships.
