Abstract

Having coasted on calm waters for decades, the seas are suddenly stormy. With rapidly changing environment in terms of customer expectation, competitors, and market strategies, it is hard time to be a captain of ship. On such tide is the IT industry now afloat. Cloud computing is the fastest emerging and disruptive technology as it satisfy and give competitive advantages to all types of enterprises (Small, medium and large) of each industry and domain like BFSI, Supply Chain, Utilities, healthcare etc.Cloud provides scalability for application by providing virtualized resources dynamically.
