Delivering Business Processes

Organisations across the globe are in the middle of a great transformation - from building their own software products or using packaged software for their business processes to utilizing cloud-based applications for their business processes. According to economists, business processes that are available on the cloud should have a very large number of users and should be made autonomous in order to manage it and remain profitable.
Productivity: Does delivering business processes through the cloud really impact the productivity of the client? Cloud service providers and organisations that offer business services from the cloud need to think from such a productivity perspective. If delivering the business services significantly reduces the burden on the client or the users and if it allows them to concentrate on more important functions, then cloud should definitely be considered as an option.
Seamless Integration: Does the cloud application or platform have the ability to seamlessly integrate into the existing tools and processes of the enterprise or the user? Does it require very minor changes to be done on the client or user side - for them to adapt? If yes, then it is good to deliver cloud-based business services. Otherwise, if it is going to make life tougher for the client or create more redundant workload for them, then it is better not to deliver it through the cloud.
Technical capabilities of the end-user: Organic chemists across the globe use specific programs and software to develop and simulate organic models and experiments. These tools and software can be delivered through the cloud. But organic chemists are more comfortable using the existing systems and on-premises tools to carry out their work. Neither are they tech savvy nor do they understand much about cloud-based tools as they have very less connectivity amidst forest areas or huge plantation setup. So, it is not feasible to deliver such applications through the cloud. Hence, the technical capabilities of the end-user also need to be considered before delivering the business services through the cloud.
Other Considerations: If you consider an example of a client having a large website with thousands of pages, it definitely requires a dedicated analytics tool installed on-premises and on the cloud to track and monitor the traffic and other user activities in individual pages. Otherwise, if the website has only a few pages, then Google Analytics available on the cloud by default is more than sufficient. There is no need to use any cloud based service or go for any subscription model for ads. So, based on the client requirements or user requirements, it is better to think through and decide whether to deliver specific business processes from the cloud.

TCP/IP protocol

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol):- TCP (Transmission Control  Protocol ) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which  application programs  can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol ( IP ), which defines how computers send  packet s of  data  to each other. Together, TCP and IP are the basic rules defining the Internet. TCP is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) in the Request for Comment ( RFC ) standards document number 793. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means a connection is established and maintained until the application programs at each end have finished exchanging messages. It determines how to break application data into packets that  networks  can deliver, sends packets to and accepts packets from the network layer, manages  flow contro l ,  and—because it is meant to provide error-free data transmi...

What is technical analysis?

 Technical Analysis (also abbreviated as TA) is a popular technique that allows you to do just that. It not only helps you develop a point of view on a particular stock or index but also helps you define the trade keeping in mind the entry, exit and risk perspective.  Like all research techniques, Technical Analysis also comes with its own attributes, some of which can be highly complex. However, technology makes it easy to understand. Technical Analysis is a research technique to identify trading opportunities in market based on the actions of market participants. The actions of market participants can be visualized by means of a stock chart. Over time, patterns are formed within these charts and each pattern conveys a certain message. The job of a technical analyst is to identify these patterns and develop a point of view. Like any research technique, technical analysis stands on a bunch of assumptions. As a practitioner of technical analysis, you need to trade the markets k...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...
