SUBJECT: Cloud computing investment research
results.
The
research about cloud computing shows that with an investment of around 9€ a
week for cloud hosting and 500€ to 1000€ to teach our engineers, this new way
of working can make our profit increase a 25% and the products TTM (time to
market) might decrease a 15%.
This week
we have finished the research about including cloud computing as part of our
base development system. The main findings are: in first place, 30% savings in
IT resources; in second place, the benefit cost ratio for each product will be
7:1 and finally the on demand scalability. Complete switch to a cloud computing
architecture may take more than 6 months. Costs per month are about 36€.
Based on
this results we can conclude that cloud computing is absolutely profitable. The
switch to this new way of working, even thou it may be long and difficult, will
give us an advantage over our competitors.
