Potential solutions

Sourcing strategies, standardisation, etc.


Potential solutions ISourcing strategies

Growing popularity of outsourcing, particularly for:for:• High-availability systems• Systems with high compliance requirements• Complex applications (e.g. ERP)• Specialised applications (e.g. HR software)

Selection of the best scope of services for different tasks:different tasks:• Application hosting• Application management• Application service providing/SaaS • Outsourcing of data-centre operations

Full outsourcing


• Full outsourcing


Potential solutions IIStandardisation (and consolidation)

Of hardware platforms

Of applications• Dilemma: tailored solutions versus standardisation• Solution: increasing use of preconfigured (industry-specific) solutions

• Based on standard softwareR d d d f ( t i t i ) t i ti• Reduced need for (cost-intensive) customization

• Generally meet compliance requirements• Make use of tried-and-trusted settings and parameters (best practices) • Are often modular ( flexibility)


Potential solutions IIIGreater flexibility

Of in-house IT systems (e.g. through virtualisation)

Of outsourcing agreements in terms of

Specialist knowledgeAccess to expert skills as and where required

ServicesStrictly demand driven provision of services

Infrastructure

Strictly demand-driven provision of services

InfrastructureUtilisation of data-centre resources – either continuously or for a limited period as required


Looking for the right IT concept

Outsourcing, in-house operation, the cloud, and more


IT concepts IThere are lots of IT concepts and buzzwords around:

Cloud computingApplication service providingApplication service providingSoftware as a ServiceIT outsourcingPlattform as a ServicePrivate cloud/secure cloudApplication hostingApplication hostingManaged servicesInfrastructure as a ServicePublic cloudetc.


IT concepts IIThe midmarket generally prefers tried-and-trusted IT concepts

But these are often identical to the concepts that are currently being debated:

For example, application service providing (ASP) is often equivalent to Software-as-a-Service offeringsTo a large extent, conventional IT outsourcing is identical to a privateTo a large extent, conventional IT outsourcing is identical to a private cloud or secure cloud (as compared to public cloud)

When it comes to choosing the right IT concept, security and availability are far more important to midsized companies than short term savingsshort-term savings
