Source: Gartner
“Multi-Tenant” Cloud:
Secure, shared solution,
sometimes also referred
to as a “Public Cloud”
“Private” or “Dedicated”
Cloud: Any hosted
solution, run in a third
party data center
CLOUD: “where you run solutions”
BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING (BPO) & MANAGED SERVICES:
“who runs it & who maintains/upgrades it”
“On-Premise” hosted /
installed and maintained
solution
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS): “how you buy”
normally an all-inclusive monthly usage charge
based on transactions, named users, or concurrent users
Up Front License &
Annual Maintenance Fees

10. Myths: Traditional Systems
MYTH
- Traditional Solutions are more
mature, thus functionally
complete solutions
- Traditional vendors have better
support resources
- Traditional vendors have more
innovation ability
REALITY
Business model based on large
up front license cost, annual
maintenance, and custom
modifications which are costly,
time consuming, and risky
Customized solution are difficult
to support
Customized solutions are
difficult to upgrade (without
re-installation) -- thus, new
innovation is not easily
leveraged
