Powerfully Move Orders Faster While Lowering Costs in a Private Cloud Environment

The CLOUD: THE PERFECT PLATFORM FOR THE PERFECT SOLUTION
Consumer packaged goods, supply chain management, manufacturing and distribution companies all depend on a reliable infrastructure for IT operations — often across multiple data centers around the globe - resulting in large labor, time, effort, and capital costs.

CPG companies, being leaders in outsourcing and new technology adoption, are increasingly moving to the cloud for managing complexity. Cloud computing presents an organization with a different model of operation that takes advantage of the maturity of web applications and networks and the rising ability of computing systems to provide IT services.

Why Move to the Cloud?

• Cloud providers specialize in particular applications and services. This expertise allows them to efficiently manage maintenance, backups, disaster recovery, upgrades and migrations and failover functions.
• Organizations can monitor current needs and make on-the-fly adjustments to increase or decrease requirements, capacity and accommodate spikes in demand without paying for unused capacity during slower times.
• Companies with large batch-oriented tasks can get their results as quickly as their programs can scale. Costs decline due to these economies of scale. This type of elasticity of resource availability is unheard in the history of IT.

From a consumer products industry perspective, cloud computing plays a vital role across the CPG value chain. There are great opportunities for adopting cloud services and realizing this value.
