Cloud Computing Changing MIS Arena
What is Cloud Computing?
• Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network. • End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. • Rendering your desktops, laptops, palmtops and cell phones merely as a display • Few famous
It can be defined as a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet. Examples include Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Google's Gmail and SPSCommerce.net.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides infrastructure on which software developers can build new applications or extend existing applications without requiring the need to purchase development or production server infrastructure. Salesforce.com’s Force.com, Google’s App Engine, and Microsoft’s Azure are examples of PaaS.
IaaS can provide server, operatingsystem, disk storage, database, and/or messaging resources. The highest-profile example is Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS), but IBM, VMware,HP

SAP’s Cloud Platform
? IBM SmartCloud for SAP Applications
? Benefits of SAP in the Cloud service, includes time savings such as:
• Install time of DB2 or Oracle database cut from 1 day to 12 minutes • Maintain database libraries shrinks from 1/2 day to 8 minutes • SAP systems refresh slashed from 1 – 4 days to 3 minutes
?Other Examples of MIS on Cloud:
? Bromcom's Management Information System (MIS) software for Secondary and Primary Schools is purpose built to manage school data relating to students, curriculum, resources etc.
WHAT ARE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS ?
• DSS serve management level professionals such as staff managers with data analysis for making decisions
IMPLEMENTATION OF CLOUD COMPUTINGIN DSS
? IBM AND AETNA INC.
• IBM and health-insurance giant Aetna Inc. introduced a cloudcomputing offering called “Collaborative Care Solution” that analyses patient data stored in Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and administrative data systems to enable doctors to deliver more complete patient care • The service is a combination of both IBM technologies and analytics software used with the ActiveHealth's evidence-based CareEngine clinical decision support system • Collaborative Care tools allow hospitals and other health care providers to
? share clinical and administrative data through a health information exchange or a health system's intranet ? analyse medical insurance claims, medication and lab data, view data on trends in how patients are responding to treatment for chronic conditions or adhere to drug regimens ? measure, track and report on clinical quality ? engage patients in their care through the MyActiveHealth secure patient portal.
APPLICATIONS USING CLOUD COMPUTING FOR DSS
? MICROSOFT OFFICE 365 • Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud based subscription service providing access virtually anywhere and powerful web enabled tools • Services provided by this DSS include:
? Design and recommendations on the most appropriate on-line offering for the customer based on an assessment of the clients needs and objectives
? Migration of the selected software services to the cloud - for specific software applications (eg Microsoft Exchange), through to migration of multiple software applications at the same time ? Management of the environment and user & desktop support ? DSS Service Desk - manage and changes/amendments necessary to the service
? BLUELOCK PORTFOLIO
• Bluelock Portfolio offers customers deeper visibility into the true cost of IT resources, enabling them to adjust their Virtual Datacentres to best align spending and utilization • It enables customers to break down their cloud costs by region, site location, line of business, application or even by Virtual Datacenter. • It makes monitoring the usage and spending of their resources very easy
Transaction processing system
• Commonly used systems for processing a large number of transactions • Ex: billing systems in malls • These systems serve at the operational level
Cloud computing and TPS
• Turns capital costs to operational costs by adopting “pay as you go” model • Better utilization(~ 100%) of hardware resources • Reduces operational cost by automating it tasks like security patches and fail over
• Classic/ Partitioning/ Replication/ Caching/ Distributed control architecture
Cloud computing and TPS
• Latency issues have arisen as an issue in implementation • Security issues and hassles • Distributed nature of the cloud architecture • Additional layers get added due to virtualization
Executive Support System (ESS)
• Executive Support System (ESS) is a reporting tool (Software) that allows you to turn your organization's data into useful summarized reports • These reports are generally used by executive level managers for quick access to reports coming from all company levels and departments such as billing, cost accounting , staffing, scheduling, and more
• All ESS are not same • They vary with developer and industry application • Ex: ESS build by MEDITECH is different from the ESS version build by Cambridge Systematic, Inc • They can be customized or pre-designed
