Cloud – A cloud for infinite freedom?
IT landscapes become more complex every day. Additionally, rising cost and pressure of time, the demand for better service quality as well as striving for innovation arise. To solve these challenges, Business and IT always hunt for new approaches.
Cloud Computing, a modern magic bullet should enable for sustainable potentials as a strategic IT concept. One remarkable objective is to realize saving potentials and cost cutting through usage of resources and IT applications meeting the demands. Nevertheless, the implementation of cloud projects means also diverse risks and challenges.
Current studies show that more than 80% of the companies worldwide have already started a virtualizing project, but only 25 % of them are connected to virtual machines (R. Böckle, 2010. Geschäft in der Private Cloud. IT-Business). This shows that a solid planning and strategy building is very important. An essential success factor for secure planning and implementation of economical innovation projects is the comprehensive estimation with IME.
Software as a Service and Platform as a Service
The focus of our support lies within cloud projects such as Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). We support our customers with consolidation of infrastructure or with the evaluation of effort, time and cost to develop software for the provision of the cloud. Furthermore, we are able to estimate all relevant factors that are needed to operate SaaS/PaaS in dependency of the amount of users.
Strategy development, benefit evaluation and target achievement
Detailled transparency about all relevant factors and their respective effort, time and costs ensure the comprehensive plausibility for IT services. It allows for identification and evaluation of certain services in order to provide valuable Cloud Computing Services. In addition with the definition of KPIs, this builds the basis for measurement of a specific benefit of the cloud and for the development of sustainable cloud strategies.
Safe and transparent planning base
Our solution guarantees transparency in planning, exact coordination and controlling as well as unlimited traceability of all relevant factors at any point in time of the project. With the help of extensive analyses and benchmarking, potentials and dangers of Cloud Computing will be recognized before investment.
Risk minimization and error avoidance
Ongoing traceability, simulations and comparison of project scenarios guarantee a solid decision basis. Specific risk analyses and extensive results offer an effective support to reduce or avoid IT, financial or project risks.
