27. Manage by Exception – Traffic Lights Filter and Sort by any of the columns in the report to highlight top or bottom performers
28. Exception ReportingEvent Driven Analysis Trigger email reports and alerts based on thresholds for indicators Schedule reports to be emailed on a regular basis
29. Universal Truth Companies have a lot of data available Without analytics, companies are constrained in their decision-making capabilities IT managers have been mandated to transform data into competitive advantage
30.

32. BI Options On-Premise – Traditional License On- Premise – Open Source License SaaS – Subscription License
34. On-Premise – When? Security Large File Sizes Control / Flexibility / Customization Integration with Applications Desire to Create Own Charts, Reports and KPI’s Competitive Advantage
37. Other Costs IT People Back-up + Off-site Service Fault Tolerant 2nd System, 2nd Location New Hardware every 3-5 years Updates/Upgrades
38. Other IT Responsibilities Disk Space Monitoring/Management RAID/SAN Storage Management Defragmentation OS-level Patches/Upgrades Network Management
40. Open Source Same IT Responsibilities as Traditional Licenses generally cost less Jaspersoft, Pentaho, Birt Versions Open Source (Free) Commercial Licenses (Paid) Annual Maintenance Pro-Services
42. History 60’s and 70’s = Time Sharing Dumb Terminals 90’s = Applications Service Provider (ASP) User Pays for License and responsible for Upgrades and maintenance and Vendor Hosts Application Then Came SaaS Does not own the S/W License and not responsible for Upgrades and Maintenance Now we say “Cloud”
43. Cloud Computing Cloud computing refers to IT services that are purchased and delivered on demand over a network, either the public Internet or a private IP-based network. Cloud computing services are powered by highly virtualized processing and storage systems in data centers that are made available via a Web interface to remote users.

51. The Cloud Perspective Absurd for companies in a non-technology business to: Spend large amounts of resources and manage their own IT infrastructure. Not Focus on your core business Leave IT Management to the experts hosting and managing software Access from Anywhere via Browser
52. Cloud – Why Now After the initial spurn, the world seems to have come around and accepted the notion of SaaS/Cloud Armed with economies of scale through multi-tenancy, virtualization Enter High Speed Internet Web 2.0 (Ajax, etc…)
53. Cloud – Why Now Massive Globalization Emergence of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) Business Pace increased Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) (99.9% Up)
54. Cloud - Distasters Floods (Iowa) Earth Quakes and Tsunami's (Japan) Tornado’s (Alabama) Locust (anywhere they want) Terrorists (9/11)
55. Example Cloud Solutions SaaS Edge Apps Email Google Apps Google Docs Several Thousand Available Sales Management Salesforce.com

57. SaS 70 NOT SaaSStatement on Auditing Standards Number 70
58. SaS 70 Type I In a Type I report, the service auditor will express an opinion on whether the service organization's description of its controls presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant aspects of the service organization's controls that had been placed in operation as of a specific date, and whether the controls were suitably designed to achieve specified control objectives. $50K – $60K
59. SaS 70 Type II In a Type II report, the service auditor will express an opinion on the same items in a Type I report, and whether the controls that were tested were operating with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control objectives were achieved during the period specified. $100K+
60. Public Clouds A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private cloud existing within a shared or public cloud (i.e. the Intercloud).
62. Private Clouds Variety of benefits Custom design and architecture is possible. You can control where your data is stored – on which server it is located. You can set parameters for which people can access which types of data. Secure access is possible through private connections.
63. Private Clouds May be forced to enter a long term contract typically from one to three years. Private cloud hosting also falls under the pay-per-use category only the amount of resources you consume are billed. During off peak hours on your web space or when you are still building traffic on a web site you only pay for resources you are consuming.
64. SaaS/Cloud SaaS/Cloud Pay As You Go Subscription (per user) Expense Item Month to Month Usage fees Lots of discussion re: Annual Fees Longer Term Commitment may mean Discounted Rate Concurrent vs. Named User Licenses Possible Setup Fee No Capitalized expenditure Web Browser
65. Pay As You Go means: The Vendor has to do a Quality Job Or You Fly Away CLTV Customer Lifetime Value
66. The SaaS Perspective Companies are concerning themselves with: Quick Deployment Service availability (SLA’s) Forgoing the IT nightmare No more software license No more upgrades No more maintenance No army of IT people No backups to do Optional Administration and Creation Capability All packaged into a single subscription fee paid on an as-used basis
67. CloudComputing Automatic upgrades Expand capacity and usage on demand Customization is Okay with many vendors What does this cost????? Approx: $1<$3 per day per user (A cup of coffee) Plus Setup
