Setting the Scene

Software as a Service

IT-services delivered on-premise/off-premise independent of the traditional perpetual licensing models with focus on the services delivered as a subscription based expense and not the licenses or technology required to deliver the services

Cloud Computing – one definition

Cloud Computing is a production method where the Services are presented on-demand, self-provisioned, scalable, and are billed per logical unit used

Where are we heading?

Hardware and Managed Services will be included in the customer offerings

Where are we heading?

• Hardware part of the service offerings• The big hardware vendors moving into the Service

and System Integration game• Managed Services securing on-premises IT• Subscription services as on-premises delivery• Non-IT players move into the channel• Cloud standards and regulations will come into play

Innovating the Service Delivery Model is the key to market growth

Traditional distribution models (Groceries) will set the standards in SaaS

The perpetual licensing model is still the dominating license model used

In Cloud Services we will see

• Factories• Use of Wholesaler (Aggregators)• Different outlets• Sales & Marketing• Outsources production• Nobody really knows how it is made

Opportunities and Challenges

Where is Europe heading?

• Uncertainty as to when EU starts regulating in terms of• Location and ownership of Data• Privacy• Security• Etc.

• EU has Cloud Services/Cloud Computing on the Digital Agenda as one of the tools to make SMB/SMEs more efficient and competitive

• Open Source vs. established vendors (established mainly American vendors)• More than 50% of the Open Source community is based in Europe

• Google and other American Cloud Providers are facing resistance from local European governments

Where is Europe heading?

• UK, Holland and Nordic countries at the forefront of SaaS/Cloud enablement

• Central and Eastern Europe infrastructure challenges• Internal penetration• Cost of using services outside of country

• ISVs not moving to develop and deliver through Cloud Platforms• Marketplace (aggregators) “non-existing” (SaaS Plaza, Cloudmore)• Which platform to choose from• Enterprises work directly with Vendors

• Local/Regional “Clouds” will dominate the coming years
