Cloud Strategy
The thing to understand about cloud technology is that it is essentially the delivery of IT as a service. This means rather than running an application yourself in an on-premise environment, we host the hardware, maintain the servers, and provide you with excellent customer service. This way you do not have to employ an IT staff of your own, at least to support the applications we provide, nor do you need to run the potential risk of investing in a system that may not be the ideal solution for you.
Minimizing financial risk through a reduction in total cost of operations (TCO) is one of the greatest benefits cloud computing can offer your business. With a hosted solution, a scenario in which we host your application, you can test out an application in a cloud environment before fully committing financially. If you determine that it is not the ideal solution for you then you can terminate your subscription, and we will work with you to find a solution that suits your needs. If you decide that the application is right for you, it is easy to expand the number of users and continue the service.
Depending on the workload and the business, the transition from on-premise models to a cloud environment is happening at varied paces. Some workloads like e-mail collaboration or CRM are moving rapidly towards the cloud, while others are testing the water. Examples of business applications that are well-suited for the cloud are high-performance applications, simulations, and modeling. An effective strategy in order to determine whether or not a cloud model is best suited for your company is simple—test just one application upfront. Simply trial the cloud model, really work on becoming familiar with the environment, and decide if it is suitable for your other applications.
