Cloud Computing & Impact Of IT On OrganizationRomana Sharmin
Cloud computing involves using large groups of remote servers networked together to provide centralized data storage and online access to computer services. There are three main types of cloud services: public clouds which are hosted by vendors and shared; private clouds which are dedicated to a single organization; and hybrid clouds which use a combination of public and private clouds. The three cloud service models are Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Information technology impacts organizations in several key ways, including enabling new business strategies, changing organizational culture, improving management processes, transforming work, and altering economic impacts through changes in costs.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

3. The Transition to Cloud Computing
What it means for Microsoft ISV Partners
4. The Importance of the Cloud
“....By 2012, 80% of fortune 1000 enterprises will be
using some kind of cloud service, and 20% of
enterprises will own no IT assets...”
“...early adopters are finding serious benefits...cloud
computing is real and warrants your scrutiny as a
new set of platforms for business applications...”
“...the global market for Cloud-based applications
is going to be worth approximately $17billion in
2010 with a projected annual compound growth rate

offerings around the cloud
6. What is cloud computing?
• Traditionally, organisations have owned and/or managed their own
IT infrastructure
• This presents 2 fundamental problems:
– It’s expensive (to buy, rent, run & maintain hardware & software)
– It’s inflexible (scaling it up or down according to your changing needs)
• Cloud computing changes this model. Organisations no longer
own and/or manage IT. They simply access computing resources
on demand, over the web, from highly optimized data centres
• It’s like moving from having a well in your yard...to having a tap in
your kitchen
7. Benefits of Cloud Computing for the
Enterprise

9. Cloud Computing Models
• Cloud deployment models
– Private cloud – dedicated cloud on a private network
– Public cloud – multi-tenanted model, offers the highest level of
efficiency & shared resources
– Hybrid cloud – combines features of both, some resources are shared,
others are dedicated
• Cloud service models
– IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides computing power & storage
capacity from the cloud
– PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform, or runtime
environment, with which to create & deploy applications
– SaaS (Software as a Service) provides ready-to-go applications that use
a combination of cloud based compute and storage services
12. Why should the ISV be interested in
the cloud?
• Because your customers want to
move to the cloud
• Because it will change the software
business completely. It’s up to you
to determine if the impact on your
business is positive or negative
• Because it opens up numerous and
varied opportunities for developing
your business
13. Transition to the Cloud:

Software Monetization
23. Software Monetization
Smart Licensing Strategies
• Monetization is about maximizing the return on your
software development investments
• Smart licensing can drive monetization in 3 ways:
– Preventing Revenue Leakage
• How to maximise the return from your existing customer base?
– Reducing the Cost of Sale
• How to reduce the cost of bringing product to market?
– Driving New Revenue
• How to drive new revenue today from current and new customers?
24. Software Monetization
Preventing Revenue Leakage
• Software Piracy
– 50% of all software globally is not paid for. Pirated software has the
added risk that it can often contain malware
– With good software protection, this problem can be addressed
•
License Compliance
– Without proper tools, compliance is difficult for the ISV to track and for
end-users to achieve. This gives rise to “casual” piracy (like seat sharing
or using software after the license expiration). Addressing casual piracy
can have a dramatic affect on the ISVs revenue
• Reverse Engineering/Tampering
– A software application embodies the IP which the ISV has in the
marketplace, and it’s under constant threat. Protecting that IP against
tampering, theft & reverse engineering is critical to the ISVs success
25. Software Monetization
Reducing the Cost of Sale
• Separating Product Development from Product Configuration
– Today’s ISV needs SKU agility – the ability to package their product in
a multiplicity of ways - in order to satisfy market needs.
– It’s a market-facing task that requires continuous refining as required
– Empowering the marketing & sales teams with the tools to package &
configure, independent of development, means releasing engineering
from a task that is costly and difficult to scale
• Sophisticated License Management
– With the right license management tools – to create, assign, distribute
& maintain entitlements to their software in the market – the ISV can
align their business to achieve a lower cost and a greater ROI
– Empowering the end user to easily manage what they buy, how much
they use, and how its paid for – can reduce the operational burden
while improving overall customer satisfaction
26. Software Monetization
Driving New Revenue
• Exploit New Business Models
– A key challenge is the ability to repurpose your products for new
business models. Applications that can handle new payment models,
new licensing models and new software deployment and distribution
models will be able to reap the rewards
• The Customer of One
– As the industry evolves, customers expect more from their software
and demand more from vendors – more choice of feature & form,
more options on price & payment, more versatility & personalization.
Providing this level of choice gives the ISV a commercial edge
• Usage Analytics & Feedback
– Real time feedback on how your products are being used, when and
for how long, by whom, and which features – gives you the ability to
act on this intelligence and drive revenue accordingly
27. In Summary
• The Cloud is here. The ISV should be planning for this reality now
• Cloud is a better way of doing things, and will benefit the agile ISV
• The transition needs careful management, with risk mitigation a
priority
• Re-purposing your products to take advantage of new & emerging
business models can help drive monetization, exploit new market
opportunities & plug revenue gaps
