AWS Marketplace
Why cloud changes software procurement
“35MM+ physical serversglobally today – only 15% in the cloud” *IDC
Cloud is shifting software from perpetuity to subscription OR consumption-based
Enterprises invest $310B annually in software
Selecting, purchasing, and deploying is still slow and manual
“…50% of workloads will move to the cloud by 2018” *IDC
Companies either bring licenses, buy “as needed”, or choose SaaS
So, what shift is happening?
• Enterprise, government, SMB changing
• Procurement teams looking to cloud catalogs
• Software consumption “as you go”
