Differentiate as a Cloud Service Provider

As a cloud service provider you have a level of expertise running mission critical systems and this expertise combined with the services you deliver and broker through the public or private cloud make you an invaluable part of the cloud chain. Only you can take the complexity out of the picture for your customers so they don't have to focus on running their IT, and they instead can focus on running their business.

CORDYS GETS YOU THERE- Cordys empowers cloud service providers to bring their customers to the cloud and enable their customers to get the best services available. With Cordys' powerful mashups and application development you are virtually limitless in the services you can create and deliver. Easy customization and personalization allow you to bring more value to your customer with a catalog of low risk, high value, high margin cloud services delivered in a cost effective way for both the customer and yourself.

You know, as a service provider, your best margins come from the value add services that you can offer your customers. As such, it only makes sense that the faster and more succinctly you can develop and deliver these services, the faster you can grow your services business and cement the bond between yourself and your customers. But, in the increasingly competitive cloud services market with SaaS, IaaS and PaaS vendors (as well as customers themselves) creating their own services in the cloud, what is your competitive advantage to beat all this competition?

CORDYS GETS YOU THERE- Cordys empowers service providers to offer a managed service and act as a cloud delivery partner to increase cloud adoption and remove the risks and concerns. This, combined with the powerful mashups and application development of the Cordys Cloud Plaform, makes you a more innovative and relevant cloud service provider. Cordys also enables you to take the best SaaS applications and offer federated services together with any of your customers own cloud enabled products and services. This is a service not offered today by SaaS vendors. The opportunity for innovation to the provider is creating a rich portfolio of value added services focused on a region, industry or specific solution set. These value added services together with the provider's subject matter experts allow them to create their own market with highly differentiated, high margin product and cloud services.

You know, as a service provider, attracting a community or ecosystem of partners and ISVs drives new revenue and also feeds back into the value that you can deliver. You also know that more ISVs and partners who use and build on top of your platform, quickly grows your catalog of services and applications and adds value back into the community. This ecosystem benefits everyone – the provider, their customers and the ISVs that build on top of the platform. But how do you build a vibrant community that brings valuable contributions?

CORDYS GETS YOU THERE- Cordys empowers service providers to implement robust commercial models and revenue sharing so the provider and the ISV can unlock new revenue streams and drive usage of the service and value added services. As such you can provide your customers with the benefits from the continued delivery of new innovation but all delivered as a service by their delivery partner (the provider). The cloud service provider creates an architecture that is "pluggable" and the right commercial models to make this mutually attractive for all concerned.

The big challenge for a service provider is how to manage the complexity of offering new cloud products and services and at the same time get to market quickly. How can new products be created, new value added services be provisioned to a customer and new capabilities deployed. How do you do all of that without creating a complex, hard to manage, and nearly impossible to change and maintain problem. This problem becomes even worse if you want to try and scale to many different customers at the same time. How are these value added services provisioned, measured, metered and charged for dynamically, in real time when they are needed and when they are used? As the speed of innovation increased in the cloud – how does a provider not just keep up but also operate quickly enough to take market share.
