Technology
working for you is our goal

Cloud Solutions Associates (CS-Associates) was formed to bring together information and systems professionals to work collectively and independently as project managers to facilitate the migration to Cloud Computing concepts.

Cloud Solutions offers services ranging from specific IT strategy, planning, development, and implementation capabilities to broader organizational transformation support. In addition to converting traditional services to make them “cloud ready”.

We are already helping clients conduct readiness assessments and diagnostic evaluations based on a data-driven approach.

Our IT strategic planning is ready to assist in uncovering the key considerations and important factors that aid the migration to the cloud or hybrid computing concepts.

 
ICT Infrastructure Assessment

We assess your business and help determine if the cloud concept is right for your organisation and that it fits the company’s business strategy. Some benefits of Cloud Computing are flexibility, scalability, ease of deployment and cost efficiencies to your organization. The business value of SaaS comes from its economy of scale and its ability to give many smaller clients the infrastructure, specialized skills and service levels few companies can afford when compared to on-premise solutions.

Using existing cloud based solutions we are instrumental in bringing about a system to improve communication between pharmacies and health providers. The concept is currently in the advanced "proof of concept" phase. The project has potential for a wider audience in New Zealand. August 2011 - GPs at health care practices prove the concept valuable.

Key Steps to Transition to the Cloud

Read More... This process is essential to the implementation of the cloud concept in your organisation. It is about your business, its security and identifying constraints that may impact operations and the alignment with the business’ mission.

Cloud solutions have certain benefits over conventional network systems some of which are flexibility, scalability, ease of deployment and cost efficiencies. These are often items of interest in business operations today. The ICT landscape is constantly changing and being able to sit down with people who routinely look at new systems, and the most efficient ways of doing things, is invaluable.

The use of tablet and mobile devices to maintain a pulse on your organisation has become increasingly popular.

Why Cloud Computing?

Cloud simplifies your business life by allowing you to focus on your business and not the technology. This has the potential to increase business performance while saving costs on IT consultants, eliminating or reducing in-house servers.

Access your data and applications from anywhere. This means you can deliver accurate and timely information taking telecommuting to a new level.

Cloud offers powerful software which could be uneconomical to run locally within the organisation. It also allows on demand rapid deployment and reduction of applications and services.

Key to business continuity are backups and access to data when systems fail. The cloud concept takes care of these requirements.

Security a point of debate however cloud providers and data centres typically have more complex and secure measures in place than in-house deployments.

Finally a cloud computing solution is more environment friendly by reducing your server footprint and power consumption.

Secondly your business will be dependent on the vendor. What availability does the vendor adhere to and what software is there that best fits the business needs.
Customers ask, "What specifically will we need to look for in a cloud provider"? There are many things to consider here but a quick guide from a customer perspective is to determine the quality of the vendor's Data Centre and what scale or type of customers do they host. This is like asking yourself in what neighbourhood would you like to live in? If government and international businesses are hosted by the cloud provider it is most likely they have met high security standards and expectations.

Thirdly your business has no control over the software as a service (SaaS) features and the upgrades that may take place. Here are
