What
you want
is not
what you
get!
Getting an on-premise ERP is
equivalent to buying
a dairy for a glass of
milk.
Are you using one of those
"big fat on-premise ERPs?”
Are you feeling like a
hostage...?
1. Never ending implementations
2. Paying AMCs before going live
3. Forced upgrades
4. High cost of manpower
5. Faster redundancy
Think simplicity.
Think cloud.
An effective alternative!
Introducing Cloud…
•
•
•
•
Computing Services Online
Software & hardware managed by 3rd parties at
remote locations
Access to information and computer resources
globally
Different Service models :
– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
– Platform as a Service (PaaS)
– Software as a Service (SaaS)
Type of Clouds
Public cloud
Private cloud
Community cloud
Hybrid cloud
•A Standard cloud
computing model, in
which a service provider
makes resources, such as
applications and storage,
available to the general
public over the Internet.
•Established for a specific
group or organization
and limits access to just
that group.
•Shared among two or
more organizations that
have similar cloud
requirements.
•Combination of at least
two clouds, where the
clouds included are a
mixture of public,
private, or community.
Cloud Models
Software as a Service
(SaaS)
Platform as a service
(PaaS)
Infrastructure as a service
(IaaS)
• Accessed through a web
browser
• Subscription-based model
• Delivery of a computing
platform
• Solution stack as a service.
• Subscription-based model
• Delivers computer infrastructure,
typically a platform virtualization
environment, as a service
• Subscription-based model
Software as a Service (SaaS)?
•
•
Scalable
&
flexible
Software delivered via browser
SaaS eliminates:
– Software Installation
– Running apps on customer’s personal
computers or Servers
– Simplified maintenance, upgrades and
support
•
App delivery is closer to a one-tomany model than to a one-to-one
model
