Need Another Pair of Hands?

April 15, 2015 Leave a comment

The majority of subscription-based, online business services charge on a per user basis. Ornavi is different. Both of the Ornavi plans include unlimited users as standard – instead we charge based on how many concurrent logins you require (how many users are able to simultaneously access the system). We believe that this pricing method allows businesses to maximise the potential of Ornavi for the lowest possible price. Each plan includes a concurrent login allowance:

Standard – 2 Logins            Professional – 10 Logins

Extra Concurrent User Licences can be added to any plan (excluding Basic) for just £5 per licence, per month.

Existing Customers

Edit Ornavi Users Box

As an existing customer, you have the ability to increase your concurrent login allowance from within Ornavi.

Simply log into your account, open the Account Settings page and increase your users.

And the best news is that an individual login costs just £5 per month.

Future of the Cloud

March 24, 2015

This week’s blog post “Future of the Cloud” is out now. This week we discuss our predictions for the future of our new friend, the cloud.

The Future of the Cloud

March 24, 2015 Leave a comment

cloud icon with timer blueWe have covered what the cloud is, discussed the apparent benefits it has and overcome some barriers to cloud adoption. To round up cloud month we will be looking into the future and sharing with you our predictions for the cloud computing industry.

 

Cloud Adoption Growth

The cloud computing industry has so far undergone exponential growth so it comes as no surprise that our first assumption for the future of the cloud is that cloud adoption will continue to increase into 2015 and beyond.  The cloud is no longer just a capability to businesses, but central to the strategy of many organisations.

By 2016 it is estimated that 36% of all data will be in the cloud (up from 7% in 2013).

According to research, the majority of businesses have now adopted at least one form of the cloud, whether they know it or not. It is predicted that by the end of 2015, 80% of all businesses will be utilising some form of the cloud. Of those already happily existing in the cloud, 42% are planning to increase their spending on cloud computing in 2015. This year, SMEs are expected to spend an estimated $16 billion on online business services.

By 2017 the cloud market is set to be worth somewhere in the area of $250B.

$45.6 billion of the overall cloud computing market is estimated to comprise of Software as a Service (SaaS) market specifically. SaaS has seen a yearly growth rate of 20.2% since 2013. Software as a Service (SaaS) refers to the ability for businesses to consume software products that are hosted by a service provider and are available via the internet. Current examples that are easily recognised are Microsoft Office 365, DropBox or Groupon but SaaS applications are rapidly starting to change the way we do business.

Thanks to the cloud in general and SaaS in particular, entire businesses strategies can be automated, eliminating repetition, data loss, endless man hours etc. and it’s because of this that SaaS applications are predicted to be the largest cloud service category by the end of 2015.

Cloud Development Growth

We expect to huge growth in the development of cloud computing. Out of the 18 million software developers worldwide, less than 25% were developing for the cloud in 2014. This is predicted to increase substantially.

 An estimated 85% of new software being built is for the cloud.

This shift in focus will lead to more business software applications being available via cloud deployment, meaning organisations that are not making plans to integrate the cloud into their business strategies may find themselves left behind. For example accounting packages, collaboration solutions, creative tools, business management software etc. are already showing moves to the cloud.

  • Adobe removed the successful Creative Suite in 2013 after 10 years in circulation and replaced it with Creative Cloud.
  • HP invested more than $1 billion in the support and delivery of their new portfolio of cloud products in 2014.
  • 2014 saw a huge increase in the number of online payroll solutions to coincide with changes in UK legislature.
  • Google is launching a new cloud based cold data storage product this year to replace traditional cold storage methods.

In order to stay current in this competitive market, companies will have to realistically plan cloud development into their exiting strategies if they haven’t already. The next 10 to 15 years businesses are expected to become increasingly committed to moving their operations online.

Goodbye Traditional Infrastructure – Hello Hybrid Cloud

A Hybrid Cloud is an environment in which an organisation provides and manages some resources in-house (private) and others are provided externally (public).

The Public Cloud is owned and operated by a third party for use by others. Public Cloud providers develop highly scalable data centres to house data on behalf of the consumer. A Private Cloud is owned and managed by the organisation for the use of its employees/partners/customers. A Hybrid Cloud environment is one where a combination of both public and private are adopted.

By the end of 2015 it is predicted that more than 80% of businesses will adopt some sort of cloud computing, 65% of organisations will adopt hybrid cloud, so it seems the beginning of the end of the purely private cloud setup is imminent.

More Education & Greater Segmentation

The increased adoption of the cloud is not limited to personal and business uses. New generations are being born into the age of technology. The cloud is changing today’s classroom as it begins to form an integral part of the education environment. Not only in terms of the delivery of lessons (at the most basic level, teachers can set, collect and mark via the cloud) but also in terms of forming part of the curriculum.

77% of school children learned to use cloud tools effectively with little or no difficulty.

Current consumers (not born into the technology era) are already starting to grasp the more complex aspects of the cloud including deployment options of public, private and hybrid clouds. As the consumer continues to become more educated to make crucial business decisions, their expectations will grow.

Greater consumer expectations, teamed with increased competition (due to nature of the lucrative cloud software market) will inevitably lead to the development of more diverse and specialised products to satisfy a more segmented market.

 

Increased Business Innovation

The cloud is widely discussed as a business game changer but little is said about what it is achieving for business innovation. Two thirds of organisations highlight innovation as a business priority but less than 25% felt their company was an effective innovator. However we believe that when utilised effectively, cloud computing offers opportunities that will drive business innovation:

1. Frees Up Resources: It is no longer necessary for companies to invest in complex infrastructure. If your business technology is being delivered and managed by someone else, you will free up in-house resources to focus on innovation. New ideas that normally take months and a fortune to coordinate could be tested and launched at lightening speeds for a fraction of the cost. As well as reducing IT costs, the cloud will also streamline processes, making the business more efficient. All money saved can be diverted to other projects – driving innovation.

Adopting cloud servers is estimated to have reduced average business IT costs by 88%. 

2. Power of Knowledge: The world is saturated with data. 90% of the world’s data has been created in the past two years. Companies estimate that they are currently only analysing 12% of the data they have because they either don’t know how to extract or what is relevant. The cloud has the ability to turn this disconnected information into valuable business insight which in turn can be used to make key business decisions. This increased agility means business processes can be altered as and when the market demands.

3. Connects People: The open nature of the cloud is connecting and empowering people.  Ideas, projects and plans can be discussed and refined by entire groups simultaneously in real-time from anywhere on the planet. Group discussions are no longer restricted to meeting rooms and limited by time-zones. This free-flowing information will allow for efficient and effective communication between employees (and clients) and therefore will help drive business innovation.

 

Before We Go…

It doesn’t take much research to be certain that the cloud will continue on its path of exponential growth. However what we think we will also see in the coming years is a significant shift from cloud computing as a strategic differentiator to a business norm.

Software development is set to focus on cloud applications. Organisations that are not making plans to integrate the cloud into their business strategies may find themselves left behind, struggling with outdated and unsupported software.

We will see a rise in the hybrid cloud because adopting a blend of public and private cloud services offers the best of both worlds for businesses.

Due to current consumers striving to become more educated in the realms of cloud computing, and younger generations being born into this technology saturated world, expectations will evolve. This will lead to the development of more diverse and specialised cloud products to satisfy a more segmented market.

We will see a significant rise in business innovation thanks to the cloud improving business agility and employee communication. Reduced spending on IT infrastructure and savings made from streamlined business processes will also present the opportunity to divert money into new projects.

Cloud Month Continues…
