Cloud Contracts and Services

Since the introduction of the marketing reference of cloud computing, remote, scalable and highly cost effective online services are more readily available for businesses to introduce to their services offerings.

SaaS Agreements

The transformative business practices made available by hosted services on such as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service) and DaaS (Data as a Service) are a common part of many businesses. Just-in-time infrastructure and highly-available services and applications have revolutionised the way modern businesses trade since the rise of virtualisation.

Cloud based businesses are less susceptible to being victims of their own success by falling short on infrastructure planning and investment, or over-allocating resources resulting in overpaying for infrastructure and wasting money.

Minimising infrastructure investment, maximising efficiency of resources, controlling costs to meet IT demand, which may be elastically coupled with automation of boilerplate tasks with auto-scaling, allows businesses to focus on what makes a difference to its business rather than constant distraction and concern with the capacity of its IT infrastructure requirements to take services to market.

Further, the attractiveness of the cloud based services includes a shift of the workload and resources of businesses to focus resources onto with data in which they are interested for their own projects.
