Hi there, hello. If we were to go with a cloud service provider, I'd like to know who the top three most used are. Do you know which are the most popular?

An organization debating whether to install a private cloud or to use a public cloud (e.g. the AWS) for its computational and storage needs asks for your advice: What information will you require to come to your recommendation; and how will you use each one of the following items? The description of the algorithms and the type of the applications the organization will run; (b) the system software used by these applications; (c) the resources needed by each application; (d) the size of the user population; and (e) the relative experience of the user population; and (f) the costs involved.

You work for a large craft supplies retail chain that has store locations throughout the southeastern U.S. About twenty years ago, the organization implemented ERP (enterprise resource planning) software to manage its inventory, sales, financials, and payroll. However, the software has not scaled well recently as the number of store locations has increased and customer expectations in the market have risen. For example, cashiers must manually enter prices or item numbers because the system isn't designed to support scanning barcodes. Customers frequently complain of long lines and being charged the wrong amount for an item. You've been tasked with leading a team to spearhead some major upgrades to your company's systems that will improve the efficiency of inventory availability, speed up the checkout process, and feed transaction data directly into the recently updated accounting system. As you begin planning the upgrades and selecting software solutions, you have to make some key decisions. You've been talking with vendors about software and solutions that will meet the needs of your organization. The first decision you need to make is where this solution will be hosted. The current ERP is hosted on-premises at the home office location, but the hardware is old and outdated and would not support a large upgrade. This means you'll either need to purchase new hardware or find a cloud-hosted solution. Answers are: 1. Select a cloud-based provider 2. POS 3. Level of support included 4. Replace the old module with a new module provided by the ERP.
