Cloud computing's challenges and opportunities coexist with system integrators

The study, published by IDC, points out that cloud computing will bring more than 1.105 trillion yuan of new net business revenue to China over the 2009-2013-year period. Cloud computing technology has become more and more mature, in the market is also deepening, more and more enterprises to move their business focus to the cloud, some traditional models have been phased out, many system integrators have to face the impact of cloud computing. Under the influence of cloud computing's emerging model, more and more industries are beginning to enter the blue Sea of cloud computing. In recent years, cloud computing industry chain pattern has gradually been opened, by the platform provider, system integrators, service providers, application developers, etc. composed of cloud computing upstream and downstream constitute the domestic cloud computing industry chain of the initial pattern.

Cloud computing to the company's changes are obvious, and for system integrators, the inherent pattern of cloud computing will create a conflict in the business of the system integrators, thus hindering the development of the system integrators themselves. There is a view that the advent of cloud computing and SaaS will eventually end system integrators, and that the predictions are based only on facts.

System integrators are facing a transformational challenge as they move into the cloud computing era, such as how to transition from system product sales to solutions and service providers.

At present, it seems that the system integrator has gradually formed the domestic information construction of the force, in the current domestic market, system integrators in the growing ranks, from the initial hardware-led to today's soft and hard both, however, with the development of new technologies such as cloud computing, system integration Services will also be towards product services such trend progress.

However, as cloud computing technology evolves, virtualization technology to the development of the era of cloud computing to add new opportunities, at the same time, system integrators in the future growth will be more in the application development level to reflect, for enterprises, the use of cloud computing does not mean that will lose the traditional mode of operation, For system integrators, it will imply greater opportunities and challenges.

Current cloud computing service providers and SaaS services and other products will be integrated through the solution into their products, which for the system integrators, this will form a new business growth point, to help system integrators to the market in-depth development. Many integrators have turned to software services, from hardware platforms to software applications, especially to tailor-made solutions for specific users.

Cloud computing caused by the response from all walks of life, so that product services, business model, value chain have formed varying degrees of change, which for system integration, cloud computing brings great opportunities to the current industrial chain market brings great opportunities and value opportunities. As a result, integrators will inevitably have to take a cloud-computing express to explore the business opportunities of integrated services in the cloud era.
