Cloud
Advisory
At the heart of our Cloud Advisory - we remember 5 key principles:
​
1. Cloud Services are driven by a Consumer based design ethos & by nature should be intuitive for ease of use
​
2. Cloud based Computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet
​
3. Differentiated from traditional hosting by 3 key factors:
- Sold on Demand (Hour / Minute)
- It is elastic - a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time
- The service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access)
4. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation
​
5. The cloud focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources (dynamically re-allocated as per demand)
​
These are the generational leaps that differentiate Cloud from SaaS (which has been around for many years) - we keep these principles at the core of our Source & Selection Service
