Cloud computing has become an important topic to research because of the value it can provide to the business. In this article, the researcher examined how Business Intelligence (BI) can be offered to the business over the Internet as a solution. BI environments, however, require a large capital layout to implement and support the large volumes of data that needs to be analysed to identify trends. It also requires enormous processing power which places pressure on the business resources. The goal of this article is to show how BI will be offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to the business. The BI SaaS solution will allow companies to reduce cost of having a BI solution and also having access to the latest software which will give the business an edge on their competition. By making use of a literature review the researcher were able gather and present evidence to support the value that the BI SaaS solution will add to the business and how such a BI SaaS solution will look like. As part of this research paper the researcher will also identify the challenges that the business will face when making us a BI SaaS solution.

Cloud computing is a paradigm where tasks are assigned to a combination of connections, software and services accessed over a network. Clouds provide processing power, which is made possible through distributed computing. Cloud computing can be seen as a traditional desktop computing model, where the resources of a single desktop or computer used to complete tasks, and an expansion of the client/server model. The paper describes a model for cloud computing to implement software as a service (SaaS).

Cloud computing suggests that the applications conveyed as services over the internet and frameworks programming in the server that give various services and offers in “pay as you go” trend which means pay only for what you use. The information and services are managed as software as a service (SaaS). Some sellers utilize terms, for example, IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and PaaS (platform as a service). The purpose of cloud computing is quickly expanding in everyday life. Today the use of cloud computing is widespread to the point that it is being utilized even in the medicinal services industry. As the development of cloud computing in healthcare is happening at a fast rate, we can expect a noteworthy piece of the healthcare administrations to move onto the Cloud and along these lines more focus is laid on giving cost-effective and efficient services to the general population all around the world. Cloud these days are turning into the new building pieces of significant organizations spread the world over. They offer assistance in servicing to offer different frameworks. Cloud computing has enhanced its technique and technologies in a better way to provide better services. Existing e-healthcare has many difficulties from advancement to usage. In this chapter, the authors discuss how cloud computing is utilized and the services provided by the Cloud and their models and its infrastructure.

The Industry 4.0 era has resulted in several opportunities and challenges for the manufacturing industry and for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME); technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual Reality (VR) or Cloud Computing are changing business structures in profound ways. A literature review shows that most large-sized enterprises have rolled out investment plans, some of which are reviewed during this research and show that Industry 4.0 investments in such companies exceed the turnover of SMEs in all cases (<€50 million), which makes access to those technologies by SMEs very difficult. The research has also identified two gaps: firstly, the recent literature review fails to address the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in SMEs from a practical viewpoint; secondly, the few existing roadmaps for the implementation of Industry 4.0 lack a focus on SMEs. Furthermore, SMEs do not have the resources to select suitable technologies or create the right strategy, and they do not have the means to be fully supported by consultancies. To this end, a simple six-step roadmap is proposed that includes real implementations of Industry 4.0 in SMEs. Our results show that implementing Industry 4.0 solutions following the proposed roadmap helps SMEs to select appropriate technologies. In addition, the practical examples shown across this work demonstrate that SMEs can access several Industry 4.0 technologies with low-cost investments.

Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. It is a construct that allows you to access applications that actually reside at locations other than your computer or other Internet-connected devices. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software delivery model in which software resources are accessed remotely by users over the internet. Enterprises prefer using SaaS because of its low cost. SaaS requires sharing of application servers among multiple tenants for low operational costs. Several SaaS Toolkits are available and used to develop cloud SaaS applications. However, most of these Toolkits are very complex. This paper aims to build a new simple and easy SaaS Toolkit to develop SaaS applications and to avoid the difficulties and complexity in the current cloud SaaS Toolkits. The proposed Toolkit is based on java virtual machine and the popular web programming languages HTML and PHP. To evaluate the proposed Toolkit an empirical study has been conducted. The result of the empirical study revealed that the proposed Toolkit outperforms the current Toolkits in terms of complexity, understandability and learnability.

Persaingan bisnis yang ketat, mendorong setiap perusahaan menyusun strategi bisnis agar dapat bertahan dari para pesaing. Penyusunan strategi bisnis mutlak memerlukan informasi yang tepat dan akurat, pengolahan hingga analisis data yang menghasilkan informasi yang tepat dan akurat menjadi proses yang sangat penting. Business Intelligence (BI) menawarkan solusi bisnis untuk menganalisis data dan memungkinkan suatu perusahaan untuk mengambil keputusan untuk meningkatkan keuntungan dan kinerja bisnis. Namun, BI mahal untuk diimplementasikan, memerlukan biaya pemeliharaan yang tidak sedikit dan infrastruktur yang kuat. Hal ini mendorong perusahaan mengurangi biaya tetapi masih memiliki teknologi yang tepat untuk memungkinkan mereka untuk membuat keputusan, mengidentifikasi peluang dan proaktif mengidentifikasi risiko yang dapat mempengaruhi bisnis. Konsep Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud Computing dapat menjawab tantangan yang dihadapi BI. Sebelum merancang BI berbasis SaaS perlu diketahui parameter-parameter evaluasi hingga kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

Cloud computing is an architecture. Cloud DBMS is a distributed database that provides computing service to a group of shared resources namely networks, storage, servers, services and applications through the internet on requirement and pay as you use access without physically acquiring them. For resources, software and information over a network the web infrastructure is shared. The database stored in the cloud can be accessed and computed from anywhere and it is used as a storage location. In this paper I have discussed some of the literature review of cloud, the cloud topics and the papers published by the authors in the appropriate years, the existing methodology used with its drawbacks and proposed methodology with its benefits in which we can improve it in future.

In recent times the world has seen an exponential rise in the number of devices connected to the internet. This widespread expansion of the internet and growth in the number of interconnected devices has lead to the rise of many new age technologies. Internet of Things (IoT) being one of them allows devices to communicate with one another that are connected through the internet. It provides a new way of looking towards pervasive computing wherein "things" be it sensors, embedded devices, actuators or humans interact with one another. But currently IoT is facing a number of challenges related to scalability, interoperability, storage capacity, processing power and security which all act as a deterrent for its practical implementation. Cloud computing, the buzzword of the IT industry, suits best to handle all these challenges, thus leading towards the integration of cloud and IoT. In this paper, we present a layered architecture for Cloud of Things, i.e. the amalgamation of cloud computing and internet of things. The architecture provides a scalable approach for IoT as it allows dynamic addition of n-number of "things". Moreover, the architecture allows the end users to host their applications onto the cloud and access IoT systems remotely. Towards the end, the paper discusses a use case that proves the correctness of the proposed architecture.
