Cloud First: Not Just Transformation, But

Innovation

HIGHLIGHTS

The benefits of Cloud have become difficult to ignore. Business leaders are ensuring that

Cloud is a mandated item in their IT budgets. Organizations have begun to understand how

critical Cloud can be to the future.

We are now seeing enterprises adopting the cloud in an accelerated manner. Current adoption

trends across several segments are excellent indicators of how each industry views Cloud.


Cloud: The Accelerated Adoption

• Retail and CPG segment, already under pressure from wafer thin margins, is adopting Cloud for e-Commerce as well as infrastructure support

Retail & CPG

• The segment has traditionally been cautious about regulatory compliance. However, they too have been opting for Private Cloud solutions, and enhancing end-user computing using Cloud

Financial Services

• The sheer intensity of the data generated by the business and its overwhelming variability has given the E&U industry adequate incentive to aggressively adopt Cloud

Energy & Utilities (E&U)

• The segment is very conscious of IT spends, but has begun to appreciate the value of variability presented by Cloud

Customer Insights: Three Keys to Success


Enabling Technology & Process Transformation

Cloud implementations that reduce application overheads have been known to reduce costs by as much as 70%. Not surprisingly, the market for cloud solutions is expected to balloon. One thing becomes clear from

the way Cloud is impacting the IT landscape: the Cloud effect is pervasive.

Largely aimed at anticipating future trends and needs, this has become a vital cog in the ability of businesses to scale rapidly.

Technology Transformation

This introduces several magnitudes of improved efficiency into the number of steps, people, assets and/ or time required to do things and is equally critical.

Process Transformation


What's Your Approach to Cloud?

Today, infrastructure transformation is an old story. To extract the true value of Cloud, organizations must bring what runs on top of

the Cloud infrastructure center stage.

The critical questions enterprises need to ask themselves are:

Are there business processes that can be consumed from existing Cloud solutions?

Are there business processes that require custom on-premise dedicated Cloud solutions?

Does the business need innovative Cloud models specific to products and services?
