Easy innovation in the cloud

Tap into the potential of the cloud with PwC

Acquiring need-based IT resources

Corporate IT is now much closer to the business than it was several years ago. It plays a substantial role in the implementation of new business models. At the same time, however, it is exposed to much greater momentum. Cloud computing helps make this momentum manageable for companies, which can now procure IT resources fully automatically, immediately, and on a self-service basis. Payment for these resources is use-based. In addition to the resources being flexibly scalable, you benefit from invoicing which reflects your actual usage.

Using new technologies immediately – Anything as a service 

The cloud has paved the way for a service economy which companies can specifically use to their own benefit. Nearly all modern technology can now be purchased as a service from the cloud, whether it be Artificial Intelligence applications, platforms for the storage and evaluation of the sensor data of your machinery, or analytics solutions for the analysis of your customer feedback. The broad range of available services enables the direct usage of state-of-the-art technology without being forced to first make investments in infrastructure.

Testing and quickly implementing ideas

Cloud services cannot only be purchased quickly – they can also be discontinued just as fast. They are ideally suited for evaluating new ideas at a high speed with low risk. Thus, cloud computing creates a new foundation for the prototyping of IT-driven, business-oriented processes and solutions. The implementation of a proof of concepts (PoC) helps you assess the opportunities and challenges which new innovations pose for your organisation. In this way, you can clearly identify and purposefully refine promising ideas to move your business forward.
