Michael VaughnCloud Assessment & Strategy
We can assist you to create a well-planned cloud adoption roadmap that is suited to your business needs. We have developed and use tool-based readiness assessments for arriving at Cloud adoption roadmaps. Our roadmaps include high-level definition of business services, proprietary or readily available platforms that can be leverages as well as specific considerations for security, performance, governance and availability.
SaaS Enablement for ISVs
For software companies looking to leverage Cloud Platforms, we can help in SaaS enabling their offerings. SaaS enablement requires incorporating capabilities such as multi-tenancy, interoperability & open integration, end-user customizability, upgradability, and horizontal scalability. As part of our overall cloud adoption practices, we also offer Infrastructure architecture and setup, business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans for software companies.
Cloud Platform Migration
We can migrate your existing software applications to a public or private Cloud development platform with required efforts in data migration, application remediation, and interoperability & integration with existing or legacy systems. Our services ensure that aspects related to application security and vulnerability is additionally addressed. As part of our overall cloud adoption practice, we also offer Infrastructure architecture and setup, business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans for our clients. Our platform migration expertise spans across Microsoft Azure, Google App Engine, Amazon Web Services and Force.com
Enterprise Adoption of SaaS Solutions
We have demonstrated track record in helping enterprises leverage ready-to-use SaaS solutions. We start by determining your readiness to migrate to a SaaS solution, followed by SaaS solution customization and implementation. Customization of SaaS solutions includes incorporation of add-ons and possibly some custom development. Implementation typically entails changes in business processes and workflows, data migration, integration with existing systems, and end-user training.
Cloud platform expertise to help you get it right the first time
Having been in the industry for over a decade now, we understand your key business drivers and challenges. We offer a comprehensive set of cloud services designed to reduce risks and ensure better outcome certainty by:
- Evaluating the different cloud models available
- Unbiased approach to selecting the best cloud strategy
- Learn the best way to test/prototype cloud within your organization
- Assess the risks of moving data and applications outside of your organization
Tried and tested approach to cloud adoption
We start the process by analyzing your infrastructure, application functionality and business processes, and perform an impact and assessment study. After that, we develop a proof-of-concept and come up with a cloud adoption roadmap. Once the proof of concept has been accepted and validated, we will build cloud-specific components, test and refine as necessary, and finally deploy your new system in the cloud.
Keep updated on the latest security considerations for application development in the Cloud
The threat space and mode of attacks have increased greatly for SaaS and cloud based apps, making security features like encryption, auditing and two-factor authentication much more necessary. The problems with securely integrating with SaaS applications is that the systems involving these integrations have more complicated threat models than normal web applications and the integration patterns between custom code and SaaS services are not as standardized or well-understood.
As such, security features are still at an evolving stage, and software teams should constantly update their cloud applications with the latest security best practices.
Distance between end users and data center can impact the response time in some cases
It is important to ensure that web-based cloud applications perform consistently for users accessing them no matter where they are located. However, the distance between the end users to the data center can impact the response time dramatically and Internet bottlenecks can affect application availability. These issues can be addressed by using web application acceleration services in SaaS frameworks to provide web content acceleration for cloud applications. Requests and application responses between users and the data center are sent over the accelerators, which direct the request to the closest web application accelerator server; it identifies the fastest, most reliable path back and employs connection techniques to optimize communication between servers, improving performance and reliability of both retrieval and delivery.
Including an Asset Repository in SaaS architectures provides significant benefits
Many SaaS applications need to capture and share assets to maintain a level of acceptable performance. An asset repository plays a key role in supporting asset-centric collaboration while maintaining the required levels of asset isolation and privacy for tenants. It provides tenants a way to publish and search for assets based on industry or domain. An asset repository can help customers adapt to fast growing business by collaborating with partners to evolve their assets to cover new business requirements.
