2. Give examples of how the cloud is being used

3
What exactly is “the cloud”
Short Definition:
“The on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications via the
internet, with pay-for-use pricing”
4
What is “the cloud”
Longer Definition:
“Cloud computing enables companies to utilize computing services:
Servers,
Storage,
Databases,
Networking,
Software,
Analytics
and other resources as a utility – similar to electricity – rather than having to build an maintain
computing and storage infrastructures in-house” 5

$500 billion by 2020

Main Benefits of the Cloud
Cost Savings: Cloud computing reduces the expense of buying and maintaining
hardware and software
Elastic Resources: Scale up or down quickly and easily to meet demand, without guessing
capacity
Metered Service: You only pay for what you use
Select-Service Provisioning: Spin up computing resources for almost any type of workload
on- demand
Additional benefits: Disaster recovery without large investments
Ease of collaboration – teams can access, edit and share
documents anytime, from anywhere
Automatic software updates7

The cloud is allowing small businesses to
innovate, experiment and sustain ongoing
profitability.
What once cost $100 million upfront is now
available for $10/hour

Uses of
“The Cloud”
10
from an IT
perspective…
Using Cloud Service Providers
Moving business-critical software and hardware to the cloud
11

Should you be looking?
In General:
Chances are very strong you will see cost savings
Moving everything to the cloud is very rare, almost always some tasks will go to the cloud
and some will stay on- premise
Integrating cloud functions with on- premise tasks will require some work
While moving to the cloud is probably as secure if not more secure than most corporate
on-site infrastructures, it may not be the right option for businesses demanding high data
security or are under regulatory compliance requirements. But on the flip-side, ones who
provide such save you the headaches of keeping up-to-date on requirements.
16
Step One: Analysis
What are the best tasks/functions to move to the cloud?
What will it cost?
What improvements will be gained?
How much will it save (remember staffing/IT hours as well as actual
cost)
What new problems will it create?

perspective…

automation and orchestration of insight-driven customer interactions to support inbound
and outbound marketing”

Forrester Q2 2016 Findings
Adobe, Oracle and Salesforce lead the pack
No single vendor addresses 100% of B2C marketing needs
All are portfolios of loosely integrated components rather than a platform
All show a need for “better third-party integrations”
Especially important since most business still pick-and-choose best fit for their needs

One Vendor vs Best
of Breed
40
Next to no one is using just one vendor
Where to Start
Determine what marketing channels/programs are best suited for you customer base
Evaluate your current marketing “stack” to determine what resources you have and do
not have to match your needs
Research available software
Select vendors that best fit your needs and growth plans
Integrate these cloud tools with your onsite technology stack
41
Easy Summary
The Cloud is a rental car
IT department determines if it makes sense to buy a car, or if the flexibility of renting it is a
better option
Marketing department wants a car that runs. They are going to drive it regardless. Want a
car that is easy to drive and works all the time.
Accounting/Finance wants the car to cost as little a possible
42
Hot topics
Identity Management. Unifying offline and online data to reach customers across
numerous touchpoints.
AI/Personalization. Delivering the right offer on the right device at the right time.
Marketing automation

Identity Management
Identify Management: Unifying offline and online data to reach customers across
numerous touchpoints.
Practical example: customer files sent to:
LiveRamp
Conversant
LiveIntent Ride Along (how about that for real-time Powerpoint changes!)
44
AI (Artificial Intelligence)/Personalization
Personalized/1-to1 marketing based on massive amount of data: web clicks, web views,
mobile activity, app activity, call center records, digital receipts, electronic POS record,
CRM data, devices owned, last touchpoint (store visit? email opened?)

Mobile
Mobile-based purchases continue to make inroads with the US ecommerce sector, thanks
to a growing embrace by young consumers, and shoppers’ willingness to increase larger
dollar amounts using their mobile devices
More retailers are prioritizing mobile-friendly commerce efforts like responsive design and
app development
Google increasingly rewarding mobile-friendly websites
You don’t ask for an engagement ring on the first date; you don’t ask a new customer to
download your app on the first purchase

Morgan. Video ad spending is growing faster than search, and second only to mobile in

In summary: Why is “the cloud” valuable?
Increase agility – able to rapidly scale
Compressed time-to-market
Stop guessing capacity
Better IT resource deployment
Additional security
Opportunity to shift capital expenses to operating expenses
Cost saving – massive economies of scale
68
But technically what is it?
SaaS - Software as a Service
PaaS - Platform as a Service
IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service
69
70
PaaS - Platform as a Service
Everything that is required to CREATE applications: Operating System, Databases, Webservers,
Framework. “Subscribe” to all of these tools rather than buy/license them.
Rather than being software delivered over the web, it is a platform for the creation of
software, delivered over the web
71
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS provide a cloud-based environment with everything required to support the complete
lifecycle of building and delivering web-based (cloud) applications
Develop applications and get to market faster
Deploy new web applications to the cloud in minutes
72
IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service
The hardware and software that powers it all – servers, storage, networks, operating systems:
73
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
IaaS provides companies with computing resources including servers, networking, storage
and datacenter space on a pay-per-use basis
Reduce hardware capital expenses
Infrastructure scales on demand to support dynamic workloads
Flexible, innovative services available on demand

Microsoft
Moving desktop to the cloud
75
Windows 10 Enterprise E3Announced in July
Windows 10 Enterprise E3, which will be bundled with office 365 E3 and Enterprise Mobility
+ Security E3.
What is new is that now it’s a monthly fee instead of an enterprise contract with a 2 or 3-
year commitment. It also makes it easier for a smaller company to use it as it does not
require a contract and upfront payment. For the SMB (5-250 users) market this is a much-
needed announcement.
$7/user/month
76
Details
When bundled, $35.75/user/month (without suite discount) for full suite along with support
through authorized Cloud Service Provider
Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 ($20/user/month)
Microsoft Windows Enterprise E3 ($7/user/month)
Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite ($8.75/user/month)
Must be purchased through a Cloud Service Provider. Available October 1st
77
Marketing Cloud Tasks
The Marketing Cloud uses the important cloud attribute that the data and content needed
to perform marketing tasks across various channels can be accessed, real-time, by many
users (anyone who has access to the Marketing Cloud)
Manage marketing resources and content
Orchestrate customer campaigns and interactions
Manage (and gather) customer data
Measure marketing performance for ongoing optimizations
Perform customer analytics
78
Others (partial list!)
Act-On. Affordable Marketing Automation.
CallidusCloud. Lead to Money suite gives sales and marketing a connected platform to close more deals faster. CPQ tools and commission solutions.
Constant Contact. Appears to have expanded beyond email marketing to other online marketing campaigns.
Experian
HubSpot. An inbound marketing and sales platform that helps companies attract visitors, convert leads, and close customers.
Infusionsoft
Marketo. Marketing automation software.
Teradata
Sitefinity. Content management and customer analytics platform. Seems to me to be light on the Cloud application.
79
Office 365
Basic office platform online (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc)
Accessible from anywhere
Data stored in the cloud
80
Office 365
81
We are all using it already:
Applications designed for end-users, delivered over the web on a
subscriptions basis:
Office 365
Gmail
Drop Box
SalesForce CRM
Shopify websites
82
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Saas allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet.
Immediate benefits include:
You can sign up and rapidly start using business apps
Apps and data are accessible from any connect computer and/or device
No data is lost if your computer freezes up, as data is in the cloud
The service can dynamically scale
