resources (hardware and software) that
are delivered as a service over a network
(typically the Internet).

4. Challenges With Conventional
Software

5. Benefits of Cloud
• Lower Costs – Cost savings that come with economy of scale
• Scale as Needed – As your applications grow, you can add storage, RAM and CPU
capacity as needed.
• Cap-Ex Free Computing – cash flow by eliminating the capital expense
associated with building the server infrastructure
• Deploy Projects Faster – Because servers can be brought up & destroyed in a
matter of minutes.
• Lower Maintenance Costs driven by 2 factors: Less hardware and outsourced,
shared IT staff.
• Resiliency and Redundancy –you can get automatic failover between hardware
platforms and disaster recovery services
• Guaranteed “up time“
• Software upgrades are provided with no cost and avoids obsolescence
• More available Capital to promote business growth

6. Cloud service models

7. Cloud Service Available
Software as a
Service (SaaS)
Platform as a
Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as
a Service (IaaS)

8. The Fear of Cloud
• 72% cited Security concerns
• 34% selected Integration issues
• 14% cited TCO
• 8% none of the above
Security of customer data has been the #1 priority of Saas companies today.
They maintain the highest security standards at three levels: Application
Security, Facilities security & Network security

9. Salesforce
• 1) Out-of-box interfaces, which include security, dashboards,
workflow, and user interfaces. Coding is optional.
• 2) VisualForce is an editor for customization of User Interfaces if
not out-of-box.
• 3) Apex, using the developer console, is for writing code to the
Salesforce API, for example a SOAP or batch application for
importing custom data.
