The document discusses cloud computing adoption in South Africa. It notes that while cloud computing dominates IT discussions, adoption rates are still low due to concerns over security, cost reductions, and reliability. Platform as a Service (PaaS) is emerging as the next hot cloud model by increasing efficiency and productivity. Virtualization solutions are driving data center revenues and cloud adoption by offering cost savings and flexibility. The uptake of cloud computing in South Africa remains in development, with Infrastructure as a Service showing steady growth and Software as a Service in an early phase.

The document discusses how cloud licensing is revolutionizing traditional licensing models. It describes how cloud licensing allows for continuous, usage-based monetization through features like auto-activation and updates from a connected backend. This enables new licensing approaches like post-paid usage billing and harnessing usage data for customer intelligence. The document also discusses hybrid licensing approaches and how Sentinel Cloud Services provides a solution for feature-based provisioning, usage control, and analytics to support flexible cloud licensing.
Cloud computing allows users to access technology services without owning the physical infrastructure. It provides on-demand, scalable computing resources and applications delivered over the internet. Key benefits include efficient allocation of resources, flexibility, cost reductions through resource pooling, and empowering businesses to focus on their core operations. Cloud services offer advantages over traditional hosting like faster deployment, scalability, and pay-per-use pricing.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
