What is Cloud Computing?

In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet. A way of meeting the needs for IT services (applications servers, and storage) through a service provider via the internet.

Some benefits of using cloud to access your applications are;

  • Easy to deploy
  • Easy to Access
  • Easy to Administer
  • Easy to afford and Finance

Transform the way you use Primavera software, move faster, be more productive and achieve benefits never imagined before. With Milestone you define your organisation’s cloud

Why should you use the Cloud?

There are three compelling reasons for using the cloud and choosing Milestone as your Cloud solution  provider: speedagility and cost. Milestone’s Cloud solutions provide access to your Primavera applications in a matter of days, rather than weeks or longer for in-house deployments. They are designed to remove the physical limitations of on premise deployments, in that they can be scaled up or down to meet your needs. We have learnt from over 20 years of experience of providing Project Management Solutions that while the Cloud is for everyone, it is not for everything.

Once applications have been identified as Cloud-viable, the next step is to consider which cloud solution SaaS or Hosting? 

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software". SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser.

Application Hosting

Application Hosting is where the service provider administers the hardware, operating systems and system software. The client usually has administrative access but as a rule rarely uses it, instead interacting with the leased system through a Web-based interface. Typically, the hosting provider is responsible for setting up and configuring hardware, installing and configuring software, technical support, patch management, system maintenance, monitoring and updates.
