Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and healthcare. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.

The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.

So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI? This session will answer those questions, and others allowing you to make the right decisions around the use of this technology.

Business Agility Is the Objective – Need It, Find It, Use It

• Last year, the New York Stock Exchange announced what it called a trading Community Platform ... basically a space where companies can build SaaS apps for the financial trading community.

• Johnson Controls, which has a business called Panoptix that has created a platform for developing energy management applications for smart buildings -- and recently announced an app store.

• Genetic sequencing company named Illumina that hosts BaseSpace, a collaborative PaaS environment for biologists that provides easy-to-use analysis tools and, in the near future, an app store.

The cloud computing market in the health care sector is expected to grow to $5.4 billion by 2017, according to research firm Markets and Markets.

The Realities

According to Gartner, anticipated growth opportunities put some industries at the top when it comes to global IT spending. However, Healthcare Providers were not in the top for growth opportunities, coming in at $15,311M. Even Utilities beat them out by a projected $18,756M.

Not a Bad Approach

Cloud is Changing Enterprise Buying Patterns


18

• Understand your business. This leads to the right cloud technology solutions.

• Understand your users. They ultimately decide if the movement to cloud computing is successful.

• Understand the technology. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of solution approaches and cloud technology providers.

• Define success. What are the objectives of moving to the cloud?

• Security, governance, and performance. Often overlooked. New models and technology typically required.

What’s Important:


19

• The hype. Avoid following the crowd. What seems popular is likely not the correct solution for your enterprise.

• The operational ROI. Most of the money is made around the additional business agility.

• FUD. The fears around using cloud-based systems are typically inaccurate.

What’s Not Important:
