The demand for cloud computing has grown due to the economics of the cloud computing value proposition. Cloud computing users can avoid capital expenditures on hardware, software, and services when they pay a provider only for what they use. When one considers the savings associated with the capital expenditure cost and then factors in the cost savings of technical personnel and opportunity cost the return on investment concerns can typically be avoided. In many small and medium businesses (SMB) the real value is found in the application deployment as the company can quickly deploy enterprise applications and then scale them up or down as needed. This rapid deployment allows the company to quickly test markets or opportunity in a highly controlled manner.

Cloud Computing is normally billed on a consumption model and is usually billed like a utility (e.g. resources consumed, like electricity) or subscription (e.g. time based, like a newspaper) basis with little or no upfront cost. While a few cloud providers are now beginning to offer the service for a flat monthly fee as opposed to a utility billing basis, the most common billing process is that of consumption depending on the requirement of the company. The billing model for access to a server and operating system might be billed on a utility basis while access to an enterprise application is typically a simple per user charge that incorporates the underlying infrastructure.

The benefits of this time sharing style approach are low barriers to entry, shared infrastructure and costs, low management overhead, and immediate access to a broad range of applications. Users can generally terminate the cloud computing contract at any time (thereby avoiding return on investment risk and uncertainty) and the services are often covered by service level agreements (SLAs) with financial penalties which provide another level of assurance.

CDMworld offers Cloud Computing Services from servers to enterprise applications and point solutions. Contact CDMworld at 866-447-6953 extension 701 for more information.

Understanding Windows SharePoint Services

Windows SharePoint Services provide a secure, scalable, enterprise-level portal environment for team collaboration. Because SharePoint aggregates and organizes information in one place, users can find relevant information quickly and efficiently. Using the internet and regardless of their location, all team members have password-protected access to SharePoint sites and can work together on tasks, projects, documents, and announcements. Site managers can coordinate site content and user activity.

How it Works

SharePoint sites use Web Parts and Windows ASP.NET-based components. Site administrators and users can easily add them to Web pages and configure them to suit their needs. Ready-to-use Web Parts provide a solid foundation for out-of-the box functionality. However, administrators can easily design, deploy, and administer the environment and support application development.

Key Functions of SharePoint

• Unified access to information provides team members with an integrated portal that improves collaboration and decision-making capabilities.
• Instant notification via subscribed alerts automatically notifies users of page and document changes.
• Personalized content and layout capabilities in the portal (within boundaries set by IT) maximize convenience and empower users with flexibility.
• Personal and public views of documents, information, and applications increase usability.
• Aggregate, organize, and provision SharePoint sites to collaborate with coworkers, customers, and partners.
• Standardize use of templates to provision best-practice SharePoint sites.
• Integration with standard Microsoft Office applications simplifies site and document editing.
• Using familiar document collaboration tools, version control eliminates e-mail problems.

Advanced Features Include:

• Integrate information from multiple applications and databases, including third party and industry-specific systems.
• Download Web Parts from Microsoft or develop your own using Microsoft Visual Studio®.NET and FrontPage®.
• Employ Web Parts reusable components to fashion the functionality of your Web site without the need for coding.
• Deliver content, applications, and Web services based on user role, hierarchy, e-mail distribution lists, or other criteria.
