Today, Companies increase their usage of SaaS across multiple applications, larger user base and most mission-critical applications. An interesting trend now is that the established large enterprises are beginning to replace on-premise applications with on-Demand applications based on SaaS principles.
Before SaaS is adopted wholesale by the enterprise a numer of key issues need to be addressed around the areas of application provisioning, user management and corporate control.

The MTTR Chronicles: Evolution of SRE Self Service Operations Platformjayank87
Running a Cloud Platform reliably comes with its own set of challenges. Irrespective of the source of solution used, In-House or Off-The-Shelf, with the Incident Management spread across integrated systems, it is easy to lose sight of the latent issues. Impact Assessment, Communication & Coordination to add in to the mix.
Being an SRE is a tough job since the SRE is expected to know almost all aspects of software delivery. The life of an SRE becomes easier & empowered when equipped with the right set of tools.
This presentation is about our experience of building a SRE Operations Platform for VMware Managed Cloud on AWS. We'll talk about how we have combined Automation, Monitoring and Incident Management under a single umbrella to drive down MTTR, increase productivity, tools to effectively communicate fleet-wide health to incident managers and customer success engineers and above all, reducing the toil of an SRE.

MeasureWorks - Stay in control when moving into the cloud, Compuware May 4thMeasureWorks
One of the obstacles to be overcome when implementing Cloud-based IT services is the management challenge: applications that reach out from the datacenter into the borderless internet can not be monitored and managed in the same way currently done with the traditional system management tools.
Learn about how today’s borderless applications can be managed and monitored in a complex internet-based environment that spans various third parties as well as the datacenter.
Making the Case for Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)Axway
Running your business likely involves a triple-digit number of applications, a double-digit number of unique data sources, and a complex mix of deployment models.
An iPaaS Integrated platform as a Service is designed to address these challenges, by providing the technical means to manage APIs, orchestrate services, and process events. Research shows that cloud-based solutions – such as an integration platform-as-a-service – are currently favored over on-premises solutions, by a factor of nearly 3 to 1.
Aberdeen research fellow Derek Brink is revealing new findings on how iPaaS is changing data integration management for some of the most successful companies.

Today's globalised economy means your business needs to respond more quickly to a dynamic marketplace. In order to thrive, businesses must improve agility to adopt new growth and market strategies, while supporting a highly mobile workforce at optimal cost. At the same time, they must create a collaborative environment that boosts the productivity and interactions among employees, partners and clients - wherever they may be.
Legacy monitoring and troubleshooting tools can limit visibility and control over your infrastructure and applications.

25. What is a Citrix Service Provider? YES NO Do you provide software services and hosted apps on a rental, subscription or services basis? Are you a hosting provider, a MSP, a SI or an ISV that provides software as a service? Is one of your primary objectives to avoid up-front license fees and minimum commitments? Is your goal to maximize the number of end-users served from the same underlying software? Will your customers accept not owning the software or having it located at their site? If you answered Yes to these questions then you most likely fit the CSP program

In the service provider space for SMB Brand is the most important element of gaining market share. Without awareness customers do not know you exist. Without simplicity of service, the customer will not be able to cross the chasm from locally installed applications to a new paradigm of subscription based services and without differentiation, you will become one in a sea of offerings that are quickly commoditized. Use the brands that are well known to familiarize your potential customers with the business you are involved with. Don’t talk about virtualization if what the customer understands is a lower cost, simpler alternative to locally run apps. With products from Citrix you can also take advantage of the fact that running Windows apps in a Mac environment is also feasible with a subscription service.Citrix Referral for OnlineSelling to the SMB means reaching out to where they are. In the U.S. for instance media such as Fox News is one of the best collection points for managers of businesses who have the spending authority to bring SaaS into the business. Finding the right medium and media for your specific market will determine your success in reaching your potential customersFinally, viral marketing techniques are critical to success in 2009 and beyond. Therefore it is absolutely essential that you engage in electronic media and forums to optimize the views that you will receive. By practicing common Search Engine Optimization techniques, you will find customers driven to your company site and to your products.
