Cloud-Addressable Challenges Facing Today’s Enterprise
Infrastructure costs are fixed and ongoing, and distract from the mission of reducing business process friction
Leveraging past investments to provide future value
Many data centers at limit—real estate, capacity, cooling and power
Matching capacity to demand
1 Maintaining security while increasing access and transparency—within and outside the organization

Security, access, and transparency across the value chain: suppliers, partners, etc.
Lack of a common platform
And in a non-Cloud view, there are inefficiencies in addressing those issues

Reduction of “over-
