Dear Managers,
While many of us are well-versed in cloud computing, articulating its specific business value to our CIOs and CFOs can be challenging. In this ever-evolving landscape, making a compelling business case can be challenging.
One of the paramount advantages is the enhanced agility that cloud computing offers. By transitioning from on-premise applications to InfoWARE Cloud applications, you gain the ability to accelerate your operations significantly. The time it takes to implement projects diminishes from years to mere days. This newfound agility translates into greater scalability, allowing you to scale up or down rapidly. Whether it’s venturing into joint ventures, expanding into new markets, or integrating applications across the organization, these processes become seamless and expedited. In an era of uncertainty and rapid market changes, this agility is invaluable and gives you a competitive edge.
Cost reduction is another compelling facet of cloud computing. Beyond the clear financial savings, cloud computing transforms costs from a fixed capital expenditure to a flexible operating expense for businesses of all sizes, following a pay-per-use model as costs become more transparent and predictable. This transition not only streamlines your financial structure but also eliminates the costly maintenance issues that drain IT resources. The allure of such cost-effectiveness and efficiency is evident.
However, the most impactful advantage of cloud computing lies in its transformative effect on business execution. Cloud computing not only refines strategy execution and productivity but also acts as a catalyst for innovation. As Berggren aptly puts it, “When you see improvements in productivity and innovation in addition to efficiency and doing things faster and cheaper, that’s the real value.”
The potential benefits of cloud computing are boundless and empower you to outperform competitors. As we recognize the strategic value of cloud computing, we must collaborate with your CFOs and CIOs to harness these advantages by shaping a comprehensive cloud strategy.
In the age of digital transformation, where cloud technology plays an instrumental role in adapting to new market trends, it’s crucial for you to embrace the six game-changing business enablers identified by IBM. These enablers provide you with the means to innovate across industries and stay ahead of the curve.
- Cost flexibility: Reduce fixed IT costs and shift to a variable cost structure.
- Business scalability: Benefit from economies of scale without large volumes.
- Market adaptability: Respond quickly to changing customer needs and market demands.

By leveraging the benefits of cloud computing, your organization can transform its operations, reduce costs, and better respond to changing market dynamics. A well-implemented cloud strategy can propel your business forward and ensure its success in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
