Cloud computing is finally emerging from the hype and your customers are facing new challenges“With the flexibility of cloud computing, we can focus on building and delivering new features to our customers—helping us increase our competitive advantage.”Andy Lapin , Director of Enterprise Architecture , Kelley Blue Book“By 2012, 80% of Fortune 1000 enterprises will be using some cloud computing services, 20% of businesses will own no IT assets.”Innovation in the cloud computing environment will continue to bring changes to business processes
Cloud computing solutions will require partners to develop new capabilities and services across the entire service provisioning lifecycleCloud computing is one of the most critical investments CIOs are contemplating todayTop 10 Technology Priorities (2010)Top 10 Business Priorities (2010)Source: Gartner EXP (January 2010)
The need to provide a flexible and dynamic ecosystem exists across an organizationCEOCFO\CIO“I need the organization to become more agile to take advantage of changing market dynamics.”“We need to reduce our total cost of ownership and prioritize business initiatives rather than IT imperatives.”Product ManagerDirector, Operations“I cant wait for IT to procure capacity, we need to take our product to market now.”“I need operational transparency so that we can align our investments with the business needs .”Sales Account ManagerIT Administrator“I need solutions that scale with our customers and provide greater mobility for more devices.”“I need to reduce the amount of time my team is spending keeping systems operational and maintained.”
Global instability and business challenges are forcing organizations to optimize IT effortsFacing an unprecedented economic environment…business has responded by transforming…causing new  technologies to emerge.Economic ChangesBusiness Changes Technology ChangesReduction of operating and capital expenditures
Increased competition for fewer resources
Do more with less
Focus on core value-add activities
Improve agility to stay competitive
Leverage existing assets to expand
Shift from information technology to business technology
Technology erases infrastructure complexity
Globalization Customers have foundational questions that need to be answeredWhat is Cloud Computing?How will cloud impact my policies and processes?“It seems like a new name for something that's been around for a long time.”“A server in the cloud is the simplest way to think of it.”“I am not sure how I can use the cloud or if it will reduce costs.”“Am I ‘on’ the cloud, or ‘in’ the cloud?”“Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about.  What is [cloud]?" – Larry Ellison, Oracle CEOConversations around cloud computing can be messy, because of confusion on definitions of ‘the cloud’ and how to utilize the technology.
