The cloud strategy should be integral to IT and business strategy. Each
organization should perform an analysis of how cloud could be adopted
in your organization – create a case for cloud.

6. ?Considerations when adopting SaaS
Business accelerates the ”as-a-service” model. Complexity of data management,
system integration and management of multiple cloud providers often comes as a
curve ball. IT is increasingly expected to be a business partner and advisor.

13. Why Choose E-Procurement?
 Old Way
 No processes or antiquated processes
 Paper/excel spreadsheets for requisitions and approvals
 ERP system makes accounting happy, process falls apart for
everyone else
 Disputes with vendors/missed discounts
 Finding out too late – who spent what and why??
