Porter-Roth Associates 4

No Corporate Datacenter

Gmail is a good example of cloud computing – no

software to download, no need to “upgrade”, features

already set, don’t maintain data in your local

computer, log in from anywhere there is a connection,

reliable, and cheap.

Cloud Computing 201

• NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction”

5 Porter-Roth Associates

What is Cloud Collaboration?

Cloud collaboration is the ability to use DM applications in a cloud environment.

We will focus on document and records management - a cloud-based collaborative system that provides the basic functionality of a standard document and records management system.

Some Cloud Essentials • SaaS – Complete operating environment

with applications, management, user interface

• PaaS – Provides virtual machines, operating systems, applications, development environments for application development

• IaaS – Provides virtual machines, virtual storage, virtual infrastructure, and S/W & H/W assets that can be provisioned for hosting applications

Services Summary

11 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 12: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Deployment Models

• Public Cloud - A public cloud is one

based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet. Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.

• MS Office 365, Box.net, DropBox, etc.

12 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 13: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Deployment Models • Private Cloud - Private cloud is the

implementation of cloud services on resources that are dedicated to your organization, whether they exist on-premises or off-premises. With a private cloud, you get many of the benefits of public cloud computing—including self-service, scalability, and elasticity—with the additional control and customization available from dedicated resources.

• Deployed as a private service through a cloud provider or deployed (and built) internally

13 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 14: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Deployment Models

• Community Cloud – A community cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise.

• Deployed through a cloud services company for Associations, schools, public consortiums, government clouds – federal, state, county – see www.apps.gov

14 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 15: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Deployment Models

• Hybrid Cloud – A hybrid cloud

infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability.

• Deployed through a cloud services company and a private company’s internal cloud

15 Porter-Roth Associates

Cloud Collaboration Offerings

• Simple storage and retrieval

• DM capabilities with storage and retrieval

• Complete “environment” for DM

• Application Oriented with DM

16 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 17: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Simple Storage and Retrieval

Allows for simple file storage and retrieval.

No real document management capability and may allow you to “share” documents by email invitation or shared password.

• Amazon Cloud Drive

• SkyDox

• Dropbox

• SkyDrive

• iCloud

17 Porter-Roth Associates

Complex DM Capabilities

Allows simple DM capabilities such as folders/subfolders, versioning, checkin/out, simple workflows, search, and audit trails. Multiple users can log into the site.

• Box.net

• Google Docs

• Igloo Software

• Zoho

• Huddle

Distinguishing Features of Cloud Computing

• User empowerment

• On-demand self-service provisioning

• Measured service, pay as you go

• Standardized processes

• Device & location independence

• Reliability and fault-tolerance

• Resource pooling

• Rapid elasticity/Scalable

24 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 25: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Key Benefits of Cloud Computing

• Lower costs

• No upgrade costs

• Low barrier to entry, high return

• Quality of service (SLA)

• Reliability

• Outsourced IT for system management

• Simplified maintenance

25 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 26: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Key Benefits of Cloud Collaboration

• User can order and provision services directly

• Basic site can be setup and operating within 30 minutes of provisioning

• User/owner can set libraries, folders permissions, versions, workflows, and other aspects of site operation directly – no IT

• User can invite other users from within the company to share documents

• User can invite other users from outside of the company to share documents

26 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 27: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Risks

• Security (physical and data)

• Immature technology

• Rapidly changing vendor community

• Evolving feature set

• Complex pricing structure

• ROI may not be readily calculated

• Compliance is problematic

27 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 28: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Risks • Customization (lack of)

• Requires Internet connection

• Latency – can be slow = frustration

• Transaction control (stateless system)

• IT has a lesser role (can be good or bad)

• Company can easily lose control of sites and information without governance

• Lack of (for most) true records management (unless you use a hybrid–box + Documentum)

• Inability to manage legal holds

28 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 29: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Risks

• No “standards” (more on this)

• No Interoperability (which leads to)

• Vendor lock-in

Page 30: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Standards “It's not that there aren’t any standards,

it’s that everyone has one and there are already some in place that cover the same ground” Forrester Research

• NIST

• IEEE

• Open Grid Forum’s Open Cloud Computing Interface

• Open Cloud Consortium

• OASIS 30 Porter-Roth Associates

Cloud Collaboration Who is Using It?

• Public

• Private

• Non-profit

• Individuals – whether you know it or not

• Start-ups

• SMBs

If you look at the names on any of the sites, they are a who’s who of top names

31 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 32: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

Cloud Collaboration Is it Right for You?

• Only larger providers can handle a real enterprise-wide system

• Different departments in the same company use it as a standalone solution for a specific application

– May not work for high-volume transaction specific applications

– May not work for compliance required applications – HIPAA, SOX, RM,

– May “feed” other applications like a DMS

32 Porter-Roth Associates

Page 33: AIIM/ARMA Cloud Collaboration Presentation

The Future • Moving at the speed of light

• New companies constantly upgrading features and services

• New cloud-based systems are challenging SharePoint

• SharePoint is challenging older legacy systems

• Application centric sites are growing

– CRM

– HR
