Cloud is now a true driver to business change, bringing together a range of public and private services, to deliver agility, scalability, simplicity and speed to market. We see Cloud as a ubiquitous design principle to everything we deliver, underpinning our end-to-end portfolio of client solutions.

Cloud Computing is changing the way enterprises support and consume IT. It relies on its capability to offer the provision of dynamically scalable resources as a service. It means the necessity to maintain the right balance between the way of delivering services, the up-scaling and down-scaling resources mechanisms and the utility pricing model.

These on-demand resources can be configured by self-service mechanisms and consumed as a pay-per-use service, using internet technology. This allows for maximum flexibility in IT resources and the cost associated with them, allowing for transparent cost control. Adopting a cloud approach will only be successful if it is relayed by business drivers. Where IT initiated transformations tend to fail or under deliver, a business-aware strategy will ensure robust migration and integration.
