Information technology is changing rapidly, and forms an invisible layer that increasingly touches every aspect of our lives. Most of the world’s transactions, now depend on information technology.
Gartner calls it “transformational” & the industry bigwigs refer to it as the next “Internet-like” revolution in enterprise computing…
An emerging IT delivery model—cloud computing— can significantly reduce IT costs & complexities while improving workload optimization and service delivery. Cloud computing is massively scalable, provides a superior user experience, and is characterized by new, internet-driven economics.
Merrill Lynch’s research article indicated $ 95 Billion as a global forecast for the value of the cloud computing market in the next five years – at that point, more than 10 percent of the software market could be sucked into the cloud. Another recent study found more than two-thirds of Americans use some kind of Web-based services – email, photo storage, online applications or storage.
Cloud computing has become a craze world-over with the flexibility of an access-anywhere, high scalability, pay-as-you go model and is beneficial for clients. Software companies only need to manage one version of their software at a time and enjoy recurring revenue flow. Its like a silver lining quote coming true for Clients who now can foresee getting world-class IT capabilities at a reasonable cost sans staffing and in house process management.
This has led to the setting-up of research labs by reputable IT companies for doing innovation on the cloud, discovering new tools, enabling of virtualization, leading to proliferation of numerous SaaS/on-demand applications that can help the clients reduce cost and increase profitability without compromising on the quality of the work.
“Web 2.0″ and “Enterprise 2.0″ were the latest buzzwords to be debated by the technology elite. It could be well disputed that a common definition was never agreed upon – but it didn’t impact adoption of the technology. Facebook is an excellent example which, incidentally, has its own Cloud of 10,000 servers across the U.S.
One of the promises of the cloud is ‘customer friendliness’ – deploying a service in the cloud must be just as easy as becoming a member on any social networking site. Cloud services must be virally distributed, require no training, fast to install and instantly usable.
Ultimately, the cloud will be successful for enterprise customers only if it can deliver value on a large scale basis. Friction-free adoption and rapid ROI are musts. There is no room for the traditional technology adoption cycle, with its long deployment and significant integration investments.
At CSS, we constantly strive to deliver out-of-the-box solutions to customers and we are proud to admit that we were the most early adopters of cloud and have set-up research labs to get innovative tools for our clients.
