HOSTING A REVOLUTION
of Hawaii businesses
surveyed stated that they are using “the
cloud”

HOSTING A REVOLUTION
It’s not: • Something physical• A single, absolute item• Something that you buy
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
When you use a service that’s delivered, utilized, or consumed over a network,
you are using “the cloud”
You’re probably using “the cloud” today
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Levels the
playing field
Invest in your“core business”
not your“core business
functions”
Three key reasons
Work anytime,
anywhere
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Levels the playing field
Lower turn-up costs & flexible pricing structures
make it easier to get started
Access best-in-class tools once previously cost-
effective for only the largest enterprises
Easily scalable – reduces stranded investments as
you grow
Start with what you need & grow as your business grows
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Focus on your “core business” not “core business functions”
If you’re a bakery, your core business is
baking the perfect cupcakeBuilding & running your communications
infrastructure supports an important business
function, but it is not your core business
Invest more in your core business &move core functions to the cloud
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Work anytime, anywhere
Can also be an integral part of recovering core functions for business continuity
Your business is no longer defined by a single place or location
Application and data accessibility are critical
components for mobility

a.k.a.“crowdsourcing”
“People power” for completing a defined task – aggregated,
solicited, selected, completed, evaluated, & paid via the cloud
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
a.k.a.“crowdsourcing”
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Labor-as-a-Service is taking the human brain and making it available
as a cloud service
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
A simple way to
grow your brand
Separate“core business functions” from
your “core business”
Three starting points to begin the conversation
“Cheap” can be costly

of you here in
this room
registered for
this event with
an unbrandedemail address
Many of you are using the cloud for email –
here’s a way to take it a step further
Domain-name email is a great way to extend your brand when you communicate
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
“Cheap” can be costly
When something is “free,” you are
probably not the customer
Understand the total cost of ownership
Evaluate service level agreements,
contract terms, & “exit strategy”
Consider prerequisites, ongoing
requirements & security
HOSTING A REVOLUTION
Separate “core business functions” from your “core business”
Look for opportunities to boost
productivity & improve customer service
by moving key functions to the cloud
Invest more in your core business &move core functions to the cloud
Consider disaster & continuity planning of
key business functions
