Evaluation framework for cloud services

With technology advancements, specifically, the development of cloud technologies has created a new delivery method of applications to businesses. The traditional model of physical installing software on a per machine basis is shifting to a centralized hardware/software model accessible through the internet. The current software delivery model is dominated by primary market vendors such as Microsoft; SAP; Oracle and Cisco. The shift to secondary market penetration will require a collaboration between various software and hardware vendors for application development; data analytics through big data; storage and security. This research project will investigate new business model in terms of licensing costs; software application updates; collaboration between vendors and service expectations.
