Is your company a good fit for cloud computing?

We believe that all companies should evaluate cloud computing/cloud applications when planning to implement software applications, but specifically companies that historically have demonstrated a good Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Companies that know how to double their capital investment every 4–5 years need to give cloud computing serious consideration.

The reason – businesses do not need to use their hard earned capital to purchase hardware and software. Instead of using capital to purchase hardware and software, companies can re-invest that money back into their business.

When growing companies implement on-premise applications, they design infrastructure to support projected future growth forcing businesses to purchase significantly more than they currently need. Cloud computing gives companies the flexibility to purchase only what they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it.

Let’s get back to the financial benefits of cloud computing versus on-premise solutions. Consider the following example which illustrates the financial benefit for a company that is going to implement a CRM solution for their sales and marketing organization. Let’s assume the following:

The Future and Cloud Computing

Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is “in the cloud,” including conventional outsourcing.

Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT’s existing capabilities.

Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering. Yes, utility-style infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are software as a service providers such as the new web based MS Office. Today, for the most part, IT must plug into cloud-based services individually, but cloud computing aggregators and integrators are already emerging.

I-Evolve answers with HD telephone

Polycom HD PhoneI-Evolve Technology Services, in partnership with Polycom, said it is the first area technology company to offer High Definition telephony service.

High definition telephony increases the sound quality and clarity of a caller’s voice. The difference is distinct and can easily be heard through an HD phone’s handset or speaker. The voice comes through much clearer in HD, and sounds almost like it had been mixed in a recording studio.

I-Evolve President Kevin Kelly said as of March 16, there were 1,134 handsets in Western New York. All I-Evolve customers now have the HD capability. To use the service, many customers already had HD phones in their offices. These, Kelly said, are necessary to deliver HD quality and cost approximately $20 more than digital phones.
