Cloud computing is a style of computing that is virtual and dynamically scalable. It is accessible anytime, anywhere, using any device. Hence the term “on-demand availability.” The unique characteristics of cloud computing are its elasticity and available capacity ready to be consumed on demand. Consumers can access applications online, which are abstracted from the IT infrastructure environment. Consumers pay only for what they consume. It’s also called a utility model, much like the electric and water utility companies. Companies are adopting cloud computing as an enabler for their business by leveraging external infrastructure at a lower cost, therefore providing more services. This will give them a better competitive advantage. Companies working on the SAP system can also experience the benefits of SAP cloud computing.
Cloud Strategy and Assessment Services
- Organizations must understand that cloud computing is a major undertaking and quite disruptive to the business process. It is imperative to consider the impact on the business and the technical complexities, integration points, data security, governmental and compliance challenges.
- A feasibility study must be conducted to forecast the performance and the stability of enterprise applications, and the likelihood to be cloud enabled. Cloud computing reliability will be determined through cloud readiness assessment by our trained professionals.
- A disciplined, proven methodology is critical to gain an accurate assessment of the required effort, investment, and the value proposition.
- The organization must have a clear business objective with clear measurable goals to be achieved. Is the objective to reduce operational cost, or is it about reducing capital budget? Is the objective to deliver services quicker and more consistently for a better customer experience?
