This document discusses how 4G networks enable cloud computing capabilities. It argues that cloud computing can increase efficiency by allowing centralized administration, management, and updates across devices. It also claims that cloud computing lowers costs by reducing the need for local IT staff and hardware through scaling, and allows older devices and software to still be useful. Additionally, the document suggests cloud computing can increase revenue by providing more flexible tools and environments for users and businesses, enabling new projects and business models to be started more easily.

Efficiency
▐ Centralised administration
 Installation and configuration in one location
 Automatic and central updates and upgrades
▐ Efficient management of devices (smart phones/computers)
 Large enterprises: HR department becomes IT department
 SME: small company purchase ”Office in the BOX”- all included
▐ Maintenance
 Centralized, easier with one server rather than millions of computers
 Full control of antivirus and old and new applications

Cost
▐ Cloud computing lowering cost due to:
 Scale
 Replace local IT staff
▐ More savings trough:
 Less “sophisticated “computers and smart phones or longer life time
 Old computer with new OS
 Lower electricity cost due to more energy efficient servers
▐ Smart and flexible business model
 Easier for companies to buy IT, they can buy what they need instead of what might be
needed
 Applications will be bought when needed

revenue
▐ Better tools for the user
 Any OS at any time on smart phones or PC
 Why is the user interface on PC as it is, is it the best we can do for a 8 year old boy/girl?
▐ Easier to start new project and companies
 A temporary IT environment created in virtually seconds
 Low start up cost
▐ New technology and new business models gives new business opportunities
 Application in new ways, example accounting application ” Light ”
 Office in the box
The 4G and the cloud technology is good but the business use of business model is
probably even better!
