See how the principles of Service Science govern the dynamics driving the adoption of cloud computing in the industry.
Cloud as Service shows you how the evolution of enterprise computing platforms to application-specific cloud platforms (ASCPs) have aligned to business needs. You'll also learn processes for developing and building ASCPs. You'll gain insight into how executives, managers, and technologists are utilizing cloud services, cloud service providers, equipment manufacturers, and software and application vendors participating in cloud supply chains.
For business, the appeal of cloud computing must go beyond the notion of convenient, on-demand access of networked pooled access to computing resources. Industry leaders have learned to apply cloud computing to become more nimble, cost effective, and customer engaging as they strive for competitive advantage, regardless of size. These companies define and build cloud platforms customized for their needs rather than using someone else’s. 
This book shows you how to use a holistic, end-to-end view of platform planning, platform development, supply chains and operations to collapse platform development times to a fraction of the original time. You’ll see that strategies for selling to the cloud market are essentially incomplete; and that in order to be successful, businesses must become cloud service businesses themselves, incorporating cloud technologies in their engineering, IT, sales and marketing, and delivery processes. What You'll Learn:<ul>
<li>Historical perspective to provide insight into the dynamics driving cloud evolution today 
</li>
<li>State of the art in IT requirements and cloud solutions</li>
<li>The value of User Experience (UX) driven design principles 
</li>
<li>The crucial roles of Service Brokers and Service Assurance Managers

On Easter weekend, two girls pray "A Moses Prayer" for God to change their Dad's heart and let their family go to church on Sunday."A Moses Prayer for Easter" is a thank you to God for the gift of family. In much the same vein of how Ebenezer Scrooge was tormented by ghosts to find the true meaning of Christmas, so is Robert Jones, the Dad of a family with a wife and two daughters, tormented by the plagues of Egypt to find the true meaning of Easter. Robert, having little knowledge of the Bible or church, has been a yearly fan of watching the 1956 classic film, "The Ten Commandments," since he was a child. This year, the classic Easter film has an unexpected outcome for the Jones family, when Robert's two daughters want to attend church on Easter Sunday. After watching some of the film on the Friday night of Easter weekend, the two girls come upon the idea to pray "A Moses Prayer," to "let our people go" to church on Sunday. With only Saturday to change Robert's mind, God's miracles come to life!
