The digital transformation: "Cloud Computing"

1. the Software as a Service (SaaS) model is adopted, now for the assets we had on our personal computers

   • Digital transformation, offers innovative products and services that improve the user experience
     • Service and deployment models of cloud computing
       • the three basic models of cloud computing services
         • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Allows your users' resources to be provided, such as processing, storage, firewalls, load balancers, and networks
         • Platform as a Service (PaaS): Allows users to deploy applications that have been created using languages, libraries, routines, frameworks, and services provided by the platform provider.
         • Software as a Service (SaaS): Allows you to use a provider-operated application running in a cloud computing environment
         • three models meant great benefits for some time
           • Private cloud: Infrastructure is provided for the exclusive use of a single organization and its internal units
             • Community Cloud: Cloud resources are provided for the exclusive use of a community of organizations
               • Public Cloud – Provided for open use by the general public and is located on-premises defined by the cloud provider.
                 • Hybrid Cloud :It is the combination of public and private models. The user owns certain parts that integrate with public cloud resources.
         • Cloud Computing: The Challenges
           • Many organizations -with traditional structures and strategies- are focused on centralized control of their processes and assets, as a mechanism to achieve “sustainable competitive advantage”, in accordance with the widely accepted model of Michael Porter in his analysis of generic strategies to compete.
             • Most consolidated organizations also have complex processes for approving investment projects, through the elaboration of detailed business cases that require clear definitions of objectives, purposes, and scope.
               • Business ideas like Spotify, Netflix or AirBnB, -mainly born on experimentation
         • Cloud computing: the brand-new capabilities
           • is the ability to create an experimentation/improvement cycle at a lower cost
             • Everything as a Service (XaaS) services allow us to access better business resources
               • Hybrid solutions should be welcome because they also allow a seamless transition from legacy applications to the new model.
                 • They must also incorporate a new governance model for these elements, which will now be added to traditional IT processes
                   • IaaS and PaaS are good alternatives for developments, for technical testing, to experiment and also to test designs, concepts and hypotheses
