Agenda Defining the benefits of Cloud computing Will Cloud computing drive process transformation foryour organization? What are the key drivers to the Cloud? What are the risks in Cloud computing? How are companies are using business applications inthe Cloud for competitive advantage? Review Oracle applications in the Cloud Takeaways4 5. WHY CLOUD?Moving Oracle Applications to the Cloud5 6. First, a Level Set on CloudCloud definitions vary.According to Gartner:Cloud computing is a style ofcomputing where scalableand elastic IT-relatedcapabilities are provided as aservice to external customersusing Internet Technologies.Service BasedCloud AttributesInternet TechnologiesMetered by UseSharedScalable & ElasticSource: Gartner6 7. Oracle Cloud Computing EssentialsOracle defines five essential characteristics:1. Rapid Elasticity2. On-Demand self-service provisioning3. Broad network access4. Measure service (Billing and metering of service usage)5. Resource poolingSource: Oracles Achieving the Cloud Computing Vision7 8. Benefits of Cloud ComputingMore quickly adapt business to change (business agility)Greater control over costsFaster time to market with new solutionsIncreased workforce productivityReduced business riskHigher technology service levels8 9. 9 10. Which Cloud Type or Provider? If Applications and Security are most important Private Cloud may be better than Public Cloud If Economics is more important than Applications Public Cloud may be better than Private Cloud If Cost is important Private Cloud with an OpExmodel may be better than on-premise CapEx If Resource constraints is a concern ManagedApplication Service Provider model may be better forspecialized application skills If Experience of the Provider is key Ask fornumber of cloud customers, number of years servingfrom cloud, applications supported, and references10 11. WHY APPLICATIONS IN THECLOUD?Moving Oracle Applications to the Cloud11 12. Two Key Drivers for Moving Applications to theCloud12Focusing IT Staff on Innovation Greater business demand to focus internaltechnology staff on innovative or transformationalprojects, leveraging service providers for day-to-daytechnology managementNeed for greater application flexibility Companies must increase the adaptability andresiliency of their software delivery model to matchbusiness requirements today 13.

More Flexibility Means More Control to Managethe Business More time to focus on innovation, growingthe business versus building infrastructure Addresses shortage of IT expertise andresources to manage technology internally Provides a model for more controllable,predictable costs of ownership Helps maximize the strategic value ofsoftware by making it easier to take on thelatest software upgrades, features, ormodules15 16. 16Velocity Customer:Graniterock ConstructionWere a construction companywere not anIT company. The economics are such that itwould probably have cost us more to hosta solution internally, and we would not havedone as good a job.

Cloud Computing Options for Oracle SoftwareCustomers adopt Oracle Applications in four distinct patterns: Standalone Application No interoperability (standalone) amongapplications and no integration with the other application suite. Loose Integration Adopt Talent Management to coexist withOracles PeopleSoft human resources functionality. In this case, theloose interoperability comes from integratingpeople, employees, hierarchies, or management hierarchies of thePeopleSoft system. Tight Integration Real-time integration of manufacturing with ordercapture, order fulfillment, and CRM. This may be Web service-based, real-time integration among multiple applications. Complete Adoption A complete set of financials, procurement, andproject modulesreplacing existing products as an upgrade tocomplete back-office ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems.26 27. 27Two Company Examples:Running Applications in the Cloud$3B MANUFACTURING COMPANYManagedApplicationServices forJD EdwardsPaaSfor SupplyChainManagedDisasterRecoveryServicesMULTI-DIVISION CONSTRUCTION MATERIALSManagedApplicationServices forJD EdwardsPaaSfor TaxationManagedDisasterRecoveryServicesPaaS for BIReportingPaaSfor FormsPrintingPaaSfor BusinessIntelligencePaaSfor HumanCapitalMgmtPaaSfor ExpenseMgmt 28.
