Your initial reports to the executive leadership have gone over very well, and they are interested to see what the next steps are. Your chief information officer (CIO) wants you to dig deeper and provide more comprehensive information on the approaches that should be considered for cloud computing. You are to look at the business as a collection of services and the service-based approach to cloud computing.
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Research the "as-a-service" type of approach to cloud computing while considering Software as a Service (SaaS), Identity as a Service (IDaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). How can these approaches reduce costs and add value?
Specific attention should also be given to the (SaaS) cloud model. How can this model reduce costs and add value to collaboration services like Web mail, messaging, file share, and project management?
Include in your analysis a discussion on Identity as a Service (IDaaS). How would IDaaS integrate with the on-premise solutions for human resources, supply chains, and collaboration services in a SaaS solution?
Individual Project
Key Assignment Section 2: Software as a Service (SaaS) and Identity as a Service (IDaaS) Plan
The presentation to the executive leadership went well, and the chief information officer (CIO) is looking to you again. He wants to start small and look at basic information technology (IT) services from a SaaS and IDaaS perspective. Complete the following:
Identify at least 2 SaaS providers that can provide services for basic office administration and collaboration functions like Web mail, messaging, document sharing, and project management.
Identify at least 2 IDaaS providers that may be used to provide identity services for the existing on-premise services (human resources and supply chain) and possibly the soon-to-be-hosted SaaS solution, which will provide for basic office administration and collaboration functions.
Once you have identified the SaaS and IDaaS providers, provide some analysis on their offerings and advantages. Finally, provide a high-level plan for migration that includes the tasks to be done, risks with risk mitigation, and risk management.
