Axway (nyse euronext:AXW.PA), the Business Interaction Networks company, today details the steps IT departments must take to ensure seamless cloud adoption. Cloud computing continues to gain acceptance within the enterprise segment and in turn, software vendors are working in order to meet the need. Specifically enterprise IT has addressed the challenges concerning security, integration with internal applications, and performance and reliability relating to the cloud. With the combination of maturing platforms, generational and cultural shifts, and compelling economics, cloud-based solutions become the undeniable choice for nearly all future non-core technology purchases. Once adopted, the cloud is inherently scalable and can be online within hours, designed specifically on the organizational needs.
One of the more frustrating aspects of being a solution provider is the number of channel programs you have to participate in, even when there are two or more vendors that are selling something that they are mutually dependent upon to deliver. With the rise of cloud computing that’s becoming a whole lot more common because most cloud services generally have to integrate with something that is already running on premise.
