Cloud computing defined:
Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software)
that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet).*
These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-
Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for
the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.
Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and
computation.

Specific drivers
Learning and talent often not viewed as strategic or mission-
critical targets for IT
- Significantly reduces entry costs and resources
- Reduces IT resource and overall investment
Learning and talent organisation able to control innovation
choices directly
- Not dependent on IT to enable
- Always on the latest version (versionless) with the latest functionality
- Avoids version lock-in

Specific drivers
Cloud/SaaS may be a better fit in a fragmented function 
especially relevant to Learning
- Lower cost of entry for sub-units and in total
- But automatically running on a common system
- Allows a Federated operating model
More than Software
- Pre-integrated 3rd Party e-learning catalogues
- Global distribution infrastructure
- e.g. content acceleration services (such as Akamai)

Questions for corporates
What is the true cost of implementing and managing systems
internally?
What other systems do I need to integrate with to make a
Cloud/SaaS solution viable? Are these located On-Premise or
externally? Are multiple systems in use throughout the business?
Is there unique functionality that is very specific to your
organisation or industry? Which are unlikely to be met by out of
the box (On-Premise or Cloud/SaaS)?

Questions for suppliers
How many customers and users? What is size of customer organisations? Can
you give me examples of similar customers? How long have they been on your
service?
Do you provide a multi-tenant solution or single system per customer?
- If multi-tenant
- How do you handle new releases? What warning do I have of changes to the system? Can I choose not to
activate changes in functionality?
- What configuration limitations are there for individual customers?
- How can I test the changes prior to live implementation?
- What happens if platform updates are incompatible with our client estate?
- If single tenant
- How scalable is each customer instance? What is the largest customer instance you have currently?
- How do you handle upgrading customer instances? Can I choose not to upgrade?
- What settings cannot be changed at individual customer level?

Questions for suppliers
What experience do you have of integrating with my HR System(s), and my
Learning & Talent Systems or content?
How do you handle customised requirements? Is customisation possible and
how? How might I be impacted by customisations from other customers?
What proportion of your revenue comes from Cloud/SaaS? What proportion
comes from Professional Services?
What is your customer retention percentage on a year on year basis? Is this
information independently audited?
What is a likely implementation outline for a customer of my requirements?
What resources do I need to implement and to run the system thereafter?

In summary
Cloud/SaaS is now the de facto go-to model for Learning AND
Talent Management systems
- For all sizes of organisations SME to Enterprise
- High adoption shift
There are many advantages/benefits from Cloud as a
deployment model
- Lower cost of entry, better TCO, less IT dependency, faster and
greater innovation, global reach.
But there are also some barriers and issues
- concerns on data protection and security, lack of customisation
- Also some geographic variation
