4. Brief History (Apple)
The history of Apple dates back to 1976. The company was
established by Steve Jobs in conjunction with his friends; Steve
Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Apple was originally established
to develop personal computers but over the years the company
has grown into a technology giant designing and selling a wide
range of consumer electronics such as smartphones and personal
computers.
Mission
The mission of Apple is to bring the best user experience to its
customers through its innovative hardware, software, and
services. The company is focused on ensuring its customers get
the best (Apple, 2020).
Goals
The overall goal of Apple revolves around efficiency and
effectiveness. The company looks forward to providing the best
product and services within the shortest time possible. This is to
ensure it can meet the demands of the market as they arise.
Businesses need to be focused on serving their customers

5. withing tight timeframes.
Achievements
Apple has many achievements and one of the most outstanding
ones is the iCloud. This enables Apple's customers to enjoy
cloud storage as well as cloud computing services (Apple,
2010). It is considered an achievement because it can be
remotely accessed from any Apple device regardless of the
location. It has boosted data security and increased access to
information

6. Apple had been growing steadily and increasing its profits, but
not anymore, as it has some vulnerability. The first challenge is
navigating trading uncertainty as it faces problems with China's
trade policy. This country is the essential market for apple, but
the firm has undergone some challenges in it so far. This
challenge is the opposition of preview in which iPad faces and a
debt-ridden firm that deals with electronic, demand the
ownership of the trademark for the name saying that they are
the rightful owners (Chung and Park, 2019). This claim has led
to government officials pulling the tablet from stores suddenly
in this country even though they were in high demand. This
affects the profit of the apple company as it loses potential
customers.
Another challenge is the one that limits its competitiveness and
is known as the Android challenge. Although the market for
smartphones and tablets is growing, Apple is finding it hard to
find new customers quickly as other Google's Android platforms
or increase their sales volume (Khattri and Nayak, 2020). They
face a lot of competition from these platforms as they get more
customers quickly than Apple. This is because the Androids
tablets and smartphones are made with several companies,
whereas the iPad is only produced by Apple (Rittinghouse and
Ransome, 2016). It is also natural for apple to lose some of its
market shares as other firms rush in with the latest and new

7. version of their own gadgets.
Apple Company planned to leverage Cloud computing to
overcome its challenges facilitating iCloud use in accessing the
internet. They addressed the challenge by setting limitations of
the software of iCloud to facilitate specific interactions when
using a WIFI internet connection (Dempsey, 2019). This
enhances the use of cellular data in iCloud. This increased their
competitive advantage as they are able to regulate data usage in
the 3G wireless plan over their competitors. This has increased
profitability as they have gained a wider market and new
consumers for their services by scheduling synchronization
tasks (Chatterjee and AsokeNath, 2016). It uses cloud
computing is storing its files that permit the users to leverage
secure and highly reliable cloud features and abilities in sharing
and locating information.

Week 6:
Cloud Computing Implementation
With the rise in technology, many organizations are using cloud
services. Cloud computing enables the customers to access data
and services from servers of the organization rather than their
remote gadgets (phone and computers). The paper explores
cloud computing services in Apple, Inc.
Apple, the technology giant, has been at the forefront of cloud
computing. iCloud enables the users to provide service and
software through the internet instead of the clients accessing
their information from their remote devices (Privat & Warner,
2014). Apple provides 5GB of data to all customers with Apple
IDs; they access content on any device. The service also enables
them to synchronize photos, settings, and contacts after
switching tools.

10. iCloud provided storage to the users lowering the total costs
that users used to spend on purchasing hard disks and storage
devices (Privat & Warner, 2014). Another benefit of cloud
computing that the company realized was increased software
integration. The technology made it easy for the company to
compatibility. Lastly, there is increases security of the client’s
information.
Cloud computing increased is the strategic end- the approach
increased the competitiveness of the organization. Through the
service, there has been an increase in Apple products such as
iPhone and MacBook devices. Consequently, there was an
increased demand for services after the launch of the technology
in 2012 (Privat & Warner, 2014). Closer competitors like
Samsung do not offer cloud computing that gives Apple an
upper hand.
Apple obtained its objective after the launch of cloud
computing. At its start in 2012, the primary aim of the services,
the principal purpose was to provide a secure way that the users
would manage their content. Today, an apple user only requires
an Apple ID and uses any devices to manage content like
photos, applications, and contacts.
