On Demand Business: It’s a Matter of Flexibility

An on demand business is an enterprise

whose business processes—integrated

end-to-end across the company and with key

partners, suppliers and customers—can

respond with speed to any customer demand,

market opportunity or external threat.



Evolving stages of e-business Adoption

• Increasing flexibility is the key—business models, processes, infrastructure, plus financing and delivery



What businesses need from an on demand infrastructure

Business Flexibility

IT Simplification

Business flexibility through integration of people, processes and information within

and beyond the enterprise

Integration

• Business Modeling • Process Transformation• Application & Information Integration• Access• Collaboration• Business Process Management

Infrastructure Management

IT simplification through automation and virtualization, enables access to and creates

a consolidated, logical view of resources

• Availability• Security• Optimization• Provisioning• Infrastructure Orchestration• Business Service Management• Resource Virtualization of Servers, Storage,

Distributed Systems/Grid and the Network

Built on open industry standards

An on demand business requires more efficient resources

Increase the productivity of your staff, not just your systems– Same staff, more results

– Simplify training

– Higher service level achievement

Deploy Application Servers in real time rather than in days

– Deploy solutions, not servers

– Grow your IT with your business, not your IT costs

IBM_User

Annette's comments -- The 2 days to minutes here would be a combination of consolidating servers first and then doing an action like this .... we're implying that this is in a single box, and that would never take 2 days ...We'll get beat up for saying we can provision another web server in less than 10 minutes ... there are alot of clustering solutions, etc that make this instantaneous, we'll look dull here
