To stream on your business

And drive sales through the roof

But to get there, your idea is the business apps

And business apps have always been too expensive

Especially in times like these

Behind each one is a world of complexity

They need a data center with office space,

power, cooling, bandwidth, networks, servers, and storage,

A complicated software’s stack

And a team of experts who stalk and figure around them

You need development, testing, staging, production, and failover environments

And when there’s a problem, good luck

You contact tech support

They don’t know, so they blame someone else

Oh, and your versions come out

They would upgrade

But that might bring the whole system down

Now, this is for one app

When you multiply these headaches across dozens, or hundreds of apps

It's easy to see why the biggest companies with the best IT departments aren’t getting the apps they need.

Small businesses don’t have a chance

How computing is a better way to run your business?

Instead of running your apps yourself

They run on a shared data center

You just "plug in," like utility

This makes it fast to get started and it costs less

It’s like Gmail, compared to Microsoft Exchange

With Gmail, do you need servers and storage? No

Do you need a technical team to keep it up and running? No

Do you have to do upgrades? No

When you use any app that runs on the cloud, you just log in, customize it, and start using it.

That's the power of cloud computing.

This model is so much better. It's changing the way we think about software.

Not just for consumer apps, it's also been used for business apps.

We call this "Enteprise Cloud Computing"

Businesses are running all kinds of apps on the cloud these days.

including custom-built apps

Why? Because you can be up and running in a few days

which is unheard of with traditional business software

They cost less because you don't need to pay for all the people, products, and facilities to run them.

And it turns out they're more scalable, more secure, and more reliable than the vast majority of apps out there.

Here's why. They're based on an architecture called multi-tenancy.

With a multi-tenent app, there is a copy of the app for each business that's using it.

It's one app that everyone shares, but it's flexbile enough for everyone to customize for their specific needs.

So it's like a giant office building where everyone shares the infrastructure and services, like security.

And each business can customize their own office space.

This means apps are elastic. They can scale up to tens of thousands of users or down to only a few.

Upgrades are taken care for you, so your apps get security and performance enhancements and new features automatically.

Now, the way you pay for cloud apps is also different. Forget about buying service and software.

Your apps are from the cloud. You don't buy anything at all

It's all rolled up in a predictable monthly subscription. See only pay for what you use.

Finally, cloud apps don't eat up your valuable IT resources so you CFO will love it.

And you can focus on projects that really impact the business like deploying more apps.

Cloud computing is a simple idea but it can have a huge impact on your bottom line.
