Everything as a Service

The document discusses how "everything as a service" or XaaS is transforming businesses by allowing them to operate core business functions through cloud-based solutions. These "BusinessCloud" solutions allow companies to both "run better" by reducing costs and gaining efficiencies, as well as "run differently" by developing new business models and ways of operating. Examples discussed include medical management as a service to reduce health plan costs and 3D printing as a service to change dynamics for manufacturers. The document argues that BusinessCloud solutions empower businesses to rethink their operations and gain strategic advantages through new, more flexible operating models.

Business Need:One of the company’s solutions is PolicyPortal, developed to help organizations manage and protect PCs inside and outside Active Directory domains. However, the solution was designed to be hosted, so it took a long time to set up with hosting service providers. This led to higher infrastructure costs and delays in closing agreements with customers. Case Study:Solution:PolicyPortal uses Azure services to automatically enforce Group Policy settings on machines that are temporarily or permanently disconnected from Active Directory. Company Profile:FullArmor helps large organizations manage their IT user policy and endpoint security with solutions based on Microsoft® products and technologies.A Boston-based Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, FullArmor targets large organizations such as Boeing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Eli Lilly, Wal-Mart, and Bank of America, and it has a customer base of more than 5 million users and 1,500 organizations worldwide. BenefitDrivers:By moving to Azure, FullArmor was able to reduce the costs of customer provisioning and meet their growing infrastructure requirements on an as-needed basis. “We were able to move the application quickly because our original version of PolicyPortal was written purely in managed code using ASP.NET. As a result, about 80 percent of the code could be migrated without any changes being required in order to work in the Azure environment.” — Danny Kim, CTO, FullArmor

The Briefing Room with William McKnight and Actian Live Webcast July 16, 2013 http://www.insideanalysis.com The proliferation of cloud-based applications continues across all industries, and for all kinds of reasons: time, money, ease-of-deployment, functionality, and maintenance. But while the cloud offers clear benefits, many organizations remain unsure about which solutions to point at various aspects of business operations, and wonder how to integrate with on-prem systems. That's the beauty of a comprehensive cloud strategy: all the benefits of cloud deployments, plus the power and flexibility of a managed infrastructure — without the guessing game. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst William McKnight explain how cloud offerings are expanding, in turn creating opportunity for organizations to more quickly deploy and use valuable cloud-based solutions. He'll be briefed by Omid Sedaghatian of Actian, who will tout his company's DataCloud, an on-demand services platform powered by Amazon Web Services. He will explain how the Actian DataCloud Platform can enable line-of-business and developers to leverage the dynamics of Actian's data services and help across the spectrum of two major forces: big data and data that’s born in the cloud.

Data warehouses based on relational database technology, for a variety of reasons, came under scrutiny as perhaps no longer needed. However, if there is anything users have learned recently it’s that the mission of data warehouses is as vital as ever. Cost and operational deficiencies can be overcome with a combination of cloud computing and open source software, and by leveraging the same economics of traditional big data projects - scale-up and scale-out at commodity pricing. In this webinar, Neil Raden from Hired Brains Research makes the case that an evolved data warehouse implementation continues to play a vital role in the enterprise, providing unique business value that actually aids digital transformation. Attendees will learn: - How the role of the data warehouse has evolved over time - Why Hadoop and Spark are not replacements for the data warehouse - How the data warehouse supports digital transformation initiatives - Real-life examples of data warehousing in digital transformation scenarios - Advice and best practices for evolving your own data warehouse practice

Why did we hear so much about “Digital Transformation” in 2016, and frankly what does it mean? While it's easy to dismiss the phrase with an eye-roll, there's no better phrase to represent improving how IT is used to help drive business innovation...and the huge changes organizations must go through to be successful. This webinar with Nick Patience, Research Vice President for 451 Research's software team, and Michael Coté of Pivotal will discuss a pragmatic definition and approach to Digital Transformation as seen through the experiences of organizations who've lived through it. Digital Transformation is about fundamentally rebuilding business and IT processes, not just about building apps. 451 Research defines Digital Transformation as “a result of IT innovation that is aligned with and driven by a well-planned business strategy, with the goal of transforming how organizations serve customers, employees and partners.” Some main features of a successful transformation include the ability to quickly react to market demands, and use information to make better decisions and serve constituents more effectively. In this webinar Nick Patience of 451 Research and Pivotal’s Michael Cote will discuss: - Why now is the time for Digital Transformation - How the balance of power between customer and provider contributes to this new revolution - Shifting priorities that require new practices and processes and the technical tools and platforms that support them - Real-world examples of organizations that have been there (we’ll share all the gorey details, including what worked and didn't work for them) View the webinar here: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/14891/242781

Driving SharePoint Adoption Through Migration and Governance

Driving SharePoint Adoption Through Migration and Governance

So, IT SharePoint developers, you've built it, but will they come? Adoption connects business users with business content by addressing basic questions of What's In It for Me? Your WIFM strategy must define and communicate where your users (and their sites) are coming from and where they're going, how to get from here to there, what's different, and why change (now) is important. NTT DATA Corp IT Collaboration Services used M&A integration as business and IT drivers to consolidate four legacy intranets onto a new intranet portal and a common, Microsoft-compliant enterprise information architecture that migrated, refreshed, and archived 2TB of content in 5500 sites for over 10,000 users with 100% uptime and "no user--or document--left behind." The team designed an Agile, governance-driven migration process that balanced business continuity with organizational change management by promoting and advocating business self-service content ownership and site administration, and engaged business owners and users at every step through monitoring, outreach, and training. One year after initial launch, three legacy platforms are retired, and the 445 site collections on the NTT DATA SharePoint platform receive over 2 million views a month: an average user logs in more than 4x/day. IT Collaboration Services sponsors the NTT DATA SharePoint User Group and Knowledge Management Working Group that provide advisory services in architecture, design, and configuration for the more than 800 business administrators who manage their own collaboration and publishing sites as self-service under a third-generation SharePoint governance plan. And, since the platform was architected for business agility, business and IT teams are now partnering for the first stage of business-driven upgrade to SP2013 on a common, global NTT DATA SharePoint deployment. This presentation will highlight and demonstrate the key deliverable behind this success story: an enterprise Portal Information Center that includes a Quick Start knowledgebase, Migration Center, Enterprise Site Directory, Collaboration Community of Practice, SharePoint User Group, KM Working Group, Governance Handbook, and a set of Enterprise Information Architecture example site collection templates and KM analysis tools designed for no-code configuration and business self-service administration. Governance and adoption work together when IT and the business work together as partners for managed self-service. If you build it with them and bring it to them, they will come: and they will build it with you the next time, or even build it themselves using the same guidelines and standards. Now that's SharePoint adoption AND SharePoint governance.

Cloud computing allows applications and services to be delivered over the internet through virtualized infrastructure. It provides scalable resources, self-service access, and pay-as-you-go pricing. While cloud computing offers potential benefits, there is still confusion around its definition. Oracle's strategy is to provide enabling technologies for both private and public cloud deployments, giving customers choice while ensuring security and enterprise-grade capabilities. Architects should assess existing systems to identify good candidates for cloud and plan a gradual evolution that partitions workloads and shifts resources to shared services.

“The standard B2B operating model was designed to optimize vendor’s “push” of prepackaged products to customers via large, up-front deals. The goal was usually to get the maximum amount of product assets transferred from the vendor’s balance sheet to the customer’s balance sheet in one big order. But today the assumption that a customer can determine in advance exactly what it needs and then take on all the responsibility for the level of value that it gets from a complex business product is becoming less acceptable. Customers need their suppliers to step up and get into the outcome game. The old B2B model doesn’t make Sense in digitalization. “ [J.B. Wood] The statement above forecasts that the whole operating model of companies like Ericsson, from marketing to product development, sales and customer support will change. Also many other industry reports argue that a combination Digital Distribution, Digital Products and Cloud Practices will have disruptive impacts on how we do business in the near future. In this session, we will have an outside-in approach to Cloud technology and “cloud first” approaches for our future business success. We’ll focus on non-technical stakeholders.

  • 14. Business Need:One of the company’s solutions is PolicyPortal, developed to help organizations manage and protect PCs inside and outside Active Directory domains. However, the solution was designed to be hosted, so it took a long time to set up with hosting service providers. This led to higher infrastructure costs and delays in closing agreements with customers. Case Study:Solution:PolicyPortal uses Azure services to automatically enforce Group Policy settings on machines that are temporarily or permanently disconnected from Active Directory. Company Profile:FullArmor helps large organizations manage their IT user policy and endpoint security with solutions based on Microsoft® products and technologies.A Boston-based Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, FullArmor targets large organizations such as Boeing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Eli Lilly, Wal-Mart, and Bank of America, and it has a customer base of more than 5 million users and 1,500 organizations worldwide. BenefitDrivers:By moving to Azure, FullArmor was able to reduce the costs of customer provisioning and meet their growing infrastructure requirements on an as-needed basis. “We were able to move the application quickly because our original version of PolicyPortal was written purely in managed code using ASP.NET. As a result, about 80 percent of the code could be migrated without any changes being required in order to work in the Azure environment.” — Danny Kim, CTO, FullArmor

I truly believe the Azure platform and Windows Azure will help us win that business.”–Herbert Lewy General Manager Infocorp CaribbeanDeveloper becomes more competitive“I‘m a developer, DBA, and most recently a SaaS developer. Suddenly, I am facing a lot of competition as developers look for work. Windows Azure will allow me to leverage my existing skills to move even deeper into the SaaS space and focus more on innovating with data, less with setting up infrastructure.”–TanzimSaquib Software Engineer BangladeshWindows Azure impact on businessElimination of complexity of infrastructure makes it easy to deploy new projects quickly.

Editor's Notes

  1. In Part 2 we’re going to review what the partner opportunity is with Azure.First we’ll explain the Azure business model and pricing.Next we’ll look into the upside areas of business that are most promising right now.Finally we’ll acquaint you with ways to partner with DPE on Azure.
  2. Now we’re going to take at the upside business opportunity—the low hanging fruit.What’s driving cloud computing—why is it a phenomenon?The simple answer is, cloud computing is an idea whose time has come. The right technologies such as virtualization are in place to make it work, and its powerful business story is amplified even further by the current economic climate.The first driver is the widespread need to cut costs and lower capital expenditures such as up-front hardware purchases. While budgets are being cut, cloud computing lets you do more with less spending.The next set of drivers have to do with continuing to provide IT business value despite those budget cuts and leveraging past investments to provide future value.Next is an emphasis on making IT resources more accessible internally and externally while maintaining security. Many data centers are a limitation.Lastly, companies are searching for the right combination of technologies that will give them more agility and more efficiency. Cloud computing is one of those.
  3. Analysts are predicting wide adoption of cloud computing as this IDC forecast shows.
  4. What are the upside business opportunities? ISVs & SaaS Applications. For independent software vendors, cloud computing makes lots of sense as products transition into Software-as-a-Service offerings where quick scale is needed. Multi-tenancy makes cloud computing particularly cost effective. Mid-Market Enterprise. Analysts have identified mid-market enterprise as most likely to use cloud computing early on. Often this may be a single department taking the initiative. Enterprise application migration. Many enterprises will first put cloud computing to use by migrating existing applications in order to reduce operating costs or avoid the need to make further data center investment. Start-ups & Experimental Initiatives. The cloud is ideal for experimenting with projects that may succeed rapidly or may need to be shut down rapidly (“scale fast or fail fast”). This applies not only to start-ups but also to experimental initiatives within established companies. Fast Lane. Some companies will see the cloud as a “fast lane” to get around the lead time, obstacles, and project competition they face internally. Seasonal Businesses. Companies whose computing needs vary based on season are ideal candidates for the cloud. For example, a tax preparation service needs a lot of capacity in the Sprint but not so much other times of year. Cloud Seen As A Competitive Edge. Azure is a playground for innovation, both technically and financially. Companies who seek a competitive edge will find the cloud a rich environment for innovation.
  5. Here are places where the cloud is compelling.(read characteristics and examples)
  6. Why Now? Is this a good time to get involved? Right now is the perfect time to get involved with Microsoft cloud computing We are far enough along that cloud computing is sufficiently established to pursue business We have a competitive platform from Microsoft now released for production use that has a strong business story and a strong technology story There are numerous opportunities to drive new business We’re in a green field situation where there is no established market leader This is an opportunity for partners to get in on the ground floor and establish themselves as market leaders
  7. There Are Two Models To Go To Market With Microsoft In the Embedded Windows Azure Platform model, you create applications that include Azure. The customer pays you, and you pay Microsoft.An example of this model is an ISV partner who operates a Software as a Service application hosted in Windows Azure. Customers are charged for their use of the application; the partner pays the Windows Azure costs. In the Built for Windows Azure Platform model, your applications are built for the Azure platform. The customer buys the application from you and buys Azure from Microsoft.An example of this model is a partner who sells a financial services application designed to run under Windows Azure. A customer who purchases the solution must set up their own Windows Azure account to deploy the solution to, and they pay Microsoft for hosting, storage, and other services used.Embedded Windows Azure PlatformApplications that include the WindowsAzure PlatformCustomer buys applications and Azure from PartnerPartner buys Azure from Microsoft
  8. Built for Windows Azure Platform“With Partner” modelApplications built for Azure Services Customer buys Azure from Microsoft Customer buys applications from partner
  9. Let’s Watch a Case Study Video. Navigate to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/evidence/. Video to play is on the page above the list of case studies.
  10. Business Need:One of the company’s solutions is PolicyPortal, developed to help organizations manage and protect PCs inside and outside Active Directory domains. However, the solution was designed to be hosted, so it took a long time to set up with hosting service providers. This led to higher infrastructure costs and delays in closing agreements with customersSolution:PolicyPortal uses Azure services to automatically enforce Group Policy settings on machines that are temporarily or permanently disconnected from Active DirectoryQuote:“We were able to move the application quickly because our original version of PolicyPortal was written purely in managed code using ASP.NET. As a result, about 80 percent of the code could be migrated without any changes being required in order to work in the Azure environment.” — Danny Kim, CTO, FullArmor
  11. Business Need:The City of Chicago needed to build an interactive map for an annual event “Taste of Chicago”, one of the largest events the city hosts every year with 3 million visitors and estimates site traffic of 50k hits per day. The customer had less than 2 weeks time to complete the project and had no on-premise infrastructure to host the solution.Solution:icrosoft Silverlight 2.0 front end providing provide deep zoom capability and map overlay of vendor information, live alerts for event notification via text messaging, hosted on Windows Azure. Quote:Our development team gave overwhelming feedback that the learning curve was extremely shallow allowing us to develop and deploy the solution in Azure in 2 weeks.— Eric Brown, WestMonroe Partners

  16. In Part 3 we’ll cover how to sell Windows Azure: Selling Cloud Computing BDM Conversation TDM Conversation Pitches
  17. To sell cloud computing, we can start with some observations about current business trends.While the economy has faced gloom and doom, business has been transforming in deeper ways, creating shifts in technology.The economic trends are: Shrinking budgets, reduction of operating and capital expenditures. Increased competition A need to do more with lessIn response, we see these business trends: Customers are focusing resource on more core value-add activities Customers are looking for agility to stay competitive as well as find ways to compete in new areas Customers are leveraging existing strategic IP and technology to expand customer reachAnd these technology trends: Technology is shifting from information technology to business technology Technology is becoming invisible, erasing infrastructure complexity and making innovation democratic Globalization and “a la carte” consumption of IT provides opportunities for expansion.
  18. Let’s talk about the benefits Windows Azure can bring to a business.Get Your Costs under ControlWindows Azure lets you get your costs under control: The cloud generally has a lower TCO than other options and can mean reduced costs. The Azure business model gives you a predictable view of costs and a means to control those costs. Azure lets you convert capital expenditures to operational expenditures. There are no up-front hardware/infrastructure costs. Idle IT capacity is eliminated because you can scale up when you need more and scale down when you need less. It dollars are spent very efficiently because you only pay for what you use and only use what you need.With Windows Azure you have a fiscally sound way to take control over your IT costs which will lead to a healthier balance sheet .AgilityWindows Azure increases the agility of your IT department and gives you a faster time to market. Bypass the procurement process and other organization hurdles. Fast deployment in minutes through an easy to use management portal. No competition with other IT projects for priority. Instance scale up or down at a moment’s notice. Agile IT enables agile business.Less HeadacheWindows Azure lets you outsourcemany of your IT headaches. Scalability without complexity. Outsource scalability, high availability, reliability, failover, and SLA. There’s no need to anticipate future capacity needs. A management portal with one-click promotion between environments Automated service management handles deployment, upgrading, and patchingYou’ll see reduced complexity with Windows Azure.Focus on Your BusinessWindows Azure allows you to focus on your business rather than infrastructure. IT starts to become invisible: embedded in the business, and democratized broadly across the organization Realize a competitive edge through the innovation the Windows Azure platform makes possible Less risk: high end data center with capacity on tap and the protection of server and data redundancy Freedom to experiment without up front costs and ability to walk away without residual financial/contractual obligations
  19. In a non-cloud environment, you have the staircase pattern where you’re buying equipment, time passes, then you’re buying more equipment--in response to predicted changes in load or actual changes in load. At any given time, you can be in an over-supply or under-supply of capacity situation, neither of which is desirable.
  20. Here are some real world TCO figures. Persistent Systems saw a 16% decrease in TCO in their public sector governance suite due to dynamic scaling and automated service management.Alinean Inc. saw a 49% decrease in TCO of their F100 B2B solutions due to automated service lifecycle management.These case studies are accessible at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/tco/
  21. The Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for Windows Azure are shown here and give you 3 9’s of availability. Windows Azure Compute Connectivity of 99.95% or better. Windows Azure instance monitoring and restart of 99.9% or better. SQL Azure database availability of 99.9% or better. Windows Azure storage availability of 99.9% or better. AppFabric Service Bus and Access Control Service availability of 99.9% or better.The SLAs are listed on Azure.doc and are downloadable.
  22. (read advantages from slide)
  23. (read advantages from slide)
  24. Let’s look at 3 ways you can pitch Windows Azure depending on how much time you have. A good elevator pitch is to make the comparison to electric service. A good dinner pitch is to focus on do more with less and develop that theme in several dimensions. A good golf pitch is to emphasize IT agility and develop that theme in many dimensions.
  25. In the elevator pitch, you only have 30 seconds or so to make your point so it’s best to drive home a single point that’s easily remembered.Just like electricity You only pay for what you use. You only use what you need. Capacity on tap. All you need is there for you.Easy, cheap, and always there.
  26. In the dinner pitch, you’re discussing Azure over a meal and have the opportunity to “Do More with Less”The Cloud is I.T. Done Right Get Your Costs Under Control. Lower TCO. Efficient use of your IT dollar. Faster Time to Market. Realize greater agility. Outsource IT. Eliminate or reduce IT Headaches. Competitive Edge. Use Azure as a platform for innovation.IT for the 21ste century
  27. In the golf outing pitch you can bring out many benefits of Azure which can be tied together with the overarching theme of agility.“An Agile Business Requires Agile IT” Transform IT at your organization or department Get costs under control - dramatic cost efficiency Remove IT headaches & bypass internal obstacles Dynamically scale - no need to anticipate load Faster time to market Competitive edge Reduce riskThe cloud is 21st century IT

  30. In addition to outright objections, you may find prospects want to know what the story is about a particular area. Migration. It’s generally straightforward. You may have to substitute enterprise artifacts for cloud artifacts, for example replacing a file server with blob storage. New applications. You continue using your familiar skills and tools, whether that’s Visual Studio and C# for a .NET developer or Eclipse and Java for a Java developer. Anywhere applications. It doesn’t take much extra effort to write applications that can run in the cloud or in the enterprise. An approach to this is to define common interface s(such as store/retrieve file) with dual service implementations, one for cloud and one for enterprise. Security. Azure provides lots of security. This is expanded upon on the next slide. Reliability. Azure has a great reliability story, using redundancy to provide both high availability of applications and redundant protection of data. Management. Azure has unparalleled management, which includes automated service management (patching, updates, failover), an easy to use portal with one-click promotion, and management APIs. Integration. Windows Azure application can integrate with the enterprise at the communication, security, data, or network level.
  31. Here are the kinds of security you get with Windows Azure Physical security Logical security Continuity Compliance & Certification(read details from slide)
  32. The cloud is more secure than many people think, and Microsoft’s security support is extremely comprehensive(read myths and realities from slide)As the Aberdeen Group says, the security environment in the cloud may well be an improvement over what’s in the enterprise.
