Abstract

In the last few years, the emergence of cloud computing has been receiving quite some attention. A typical business question deals with how to equip your requirements to utilize the full potential of the market without taking any risk or over-investment in wrong choices. That is why a cloud model solution needs appropriate focus and opportunity in the Indian market. It can also be seen that cloud-based applications are generally becoming a trend in the development of information systems. Cloud computing has revolutionized small and medium businesses for various reasons. This paper aims to demystify cloud computing from the business perspective in India, both in the current scenario as well as in the near future. The objective of this paper is to provide the reader with a look at how cloud computing has rapidly evolved with its effective applications. It begins with a look at how cloud computing has become an integral part of IT strategies for all organizations. This paper focuses on the growth opportunity potential that this amazing technology possesses, to impact a complete positive turnaround for the Indian businesses. We then examine the notion of cloud computing being "on demand", by using SWOT analysis of the services offered by cloud today. This paper also discusses few real life case examples of businesses that transitioned to the cloud by analyzing their requirement as well as the resultant impact of the adopted cloud solution.
