Calculating the True Value of
Industry-Specific Clouds

Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS
services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as
transportation, retail, finance, and healthcare. IDC sees
a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for
2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses
within a vertical can connect to applications,
processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that
vertical within a public or private cloud. They can
extend processes and databases into the business
domain, versus defining the data and processes within
a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business?
What options are out there? How do you figure out
the ROI? This session will answer those questions, and
others allowing you to make the right decisions around
the use of this technology.

Business Agility Is the Objective – Need It, Find It, Use It

• Last year, the New York Stock Exchange announced what it
called a trading Community Platform ... basically a space
where companies can build SaaS apps for the financial trading
community.
• Johnson Controls, which has a business called Panoptix that
has created a platform for developing energy management
applications for smart buildings -- and recently announced an
app store.
• Genetic sequencing company named Illumina that hosts
BaseSpace, a collaborative PaaS environment for biologists
that provides easy-to-use analysis tools and, in the near
future, an app store.

• Determine the cost of existing
inefficiencies
• Determine the value of agility
• Determine the amount of
process reuse
• Determine the amount of
service reuse
• Determine the value of
leveraging existing data and data
structures
• Determine the operational value

The cloud computing
market in the health
care sector is expected
to grow to $5.4 billion
by 2017, according to
research firm Markets
and Markets.

The Realities
According to Gartner,
anticipated growth
opportunities put some
industries at the top when
it comes to global IT
spending. However,
Healthcare Providers were
not in the top for growth
opportunities, coming in at
$15,311M. Even Utilities
beat them out by a
projected $18,756M.

Not a Bad Approach

Cloud is Changing Enterprise Buying Patterns

18
• Understand your business. This leads to
the right cloud technology solutions.
• Understand your users. They ultimately
decide if the movement to cloud
computing is successful.
• Understand the technology. There are
hundreds perhaps thousands of solution
approaches and cloud technology
providers.
• Define success. What are the objectives
of moving to the cloud?
• Security, governance, and performance.
Often overlooked. New models and
technology typically required.
What’s Important:

19
• The hype. Avoid following the
crowd. What seems popular is
likely not the correct solution for
your enterprise.
• The operational ROI. Most of the
money is made around the
additional business agility.
• FUD. The fears around using
cloud-based systems are typically
inaccurate.
What’s Not Important:
