It’s Time to Shift Your Datacenter to Cloud

posted in: all omc blogs | 0

All are there, isn’t it – meaning the bunches of servers, operating system, infrastructure and network framework, database, business logic, development platform, storage, apps and tons of utilities are just handy over there on the cloud. This is just changing the mindset for this dramatic shifting – your on-premise IT platform to one or more cloud vendors.

Now, there are basically 3 main players in the IT world – Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud. According to the IT critics and veteran systems gurus, Amazon AWS is top ranking followed by Microsoft Azure and then Google Cloud. In my consideration and experience so far, no extravagancies are matters of worries today and could be responsible for delaying decision from the top management part for shifting the whole or part of the datacenter to the on of the giants. The most hopeful things are: the additional unwanted overhead cost are gone. You would have to pay as per what you use out of the resources on the loud – Infrastructure, Platform, OS, Database, Storage etc. These are termed as IaaS (Infrastructure as a service), PaaS (Platform as a server) and SaaS (Software as a service). All you need in the office are user-end Laptops and Desktops and some necessary peripherals but the rest are to be purchased from the cloud vendors and the payment? Easy, just pay as you go and this is and must not exceed the cost it could have been payed at your on-premise system. No unnecessary employment of IT tech guys, getting recurring salaries per month and other benefits and thus unpredictable management worries!

In question of the Office Application bundle, Microsoft Office 365 and the utilities are fabulous collections to serve stunningly all business purposes very smartly and efficiently. And the same application suites are present at other cloud competitors – now it’s your choice. The price here are also very good and favorable to you – monthly or yearly subscriptions for only required applications and the cost is in the reach. One of the most interesting facilities is the cloud-centric storage – which is ‘OneDrive‘ of Microsoft Office 365 Suite, its offering TBs of space with so many features at very easy cost. And you are in fact, enjoying the business applications at any devices, any time and at any where!

The things are changed and being moving towards new phases of usage and IT administration and it is really fantastic and comfortable for all involved in the Organization. The worries are gone – if there is something regarding the risk factors, residual at the management consideration end about the data security and availability, these are resolved. It could a hybrid platform – for instance, services purchased from the cloud vendors and the database hosting at the local organization’s known premises. There are options, which go in favor of the business entrepreneur and management.

sQs (Sustainable Quality Service)

posted in: all omc blogs | 0

Business runs processes and procedures, but in many realistic cases these core driving executive elements could not fulfill the desired purposes and thus the system start becoming sick, events of lose occur. The realities are: there are potential risks reside in processes – sometimes visible but not taken care of, sometimes truly hidden but keep damaging the business, sometimes there are risks unavoidable. Risks could be treated as opportunities which leads to new turning of business processes, Here is sQs (Sustainable Quality Services) – a combination of the core requirements of mother standards of the Quality Management Systems (QMS: ISO9001) and the mostly dependent and significant standards requirements from Information Security Management System derived from (ISMS ISO27001) and the series including the Risk Management and Business Continuity Management integrated.

The reality is, if the Quality Management Systems are not deployed and practiced properly as the most important organizational administrative and operational control objective basis, other processes of the business and industries like the Information Management Systems and the integrated security techniques and the IT governance lack behind the required functionalities. These becomes the problems and piled up with time and yields to a sick or unprofitable business entity. No investors want that but make delayed decision finding out the potential risks and the needed mitigation. I observed the vulnerabilities of the business and IT process are often ignored or not taking timely decision to get rid of. The top management’s should have to have a firm policy and objectives out of the proactive business strategy, allocate required resources, support and guidelines to initiate and run functional operations, evaluates the planned risk assessment and audits followed by the proper improvement processes to the welfare of the organizational processes. These activities required to be monitored and executed all along by the proper skilled personnel.

sQs is designed and prepared as the most effective and sustainable quality standards for Management and IT security technique , which, in fact, could repair any sick or malfunctioned business or industries; keeping mind that all these controls of sQs be deployed, functional, monitored and executed thoroughly and properly thoroughly deployed and practiced.

Once requirements from these integrated Standards sQs are deployed, the result is the total IT governance leading the staffs alignment with Information Security and profit.
