Welcome

Welcome to my blog.

It was created with the purpose of providing me (and you!) a means of communicating with each other.

I shall post information and articles from the world of Information Technology (IT), of which I am a member. I have spent all of my professional life in that arena and I have a lot in my mind that I’d like to pass on.

There will be other subjects too, like everyday issues that concern us as citizens of Greece but also members of the global community.

I want to share my thoughts and experiences with you and, at the same time, gain from your wisdom. If you think that there is something interesting for you in here, then… “stay tuned”!

Oh, one clarification: I selected English as the writing language, since the biggest part of the posts will be of global (I hope!) concern and not just local.

Thank you in advance and I hope that we will spend quite a long time together!

Growth hacking unfolds along two parallel lines.

My intention is to show that SaaS business solutions do not just offer some “technology upgrade” in the organization or solely some cost benefit but can also play a significant role in the growth efforts of the organization .

Data migration to SaaS

Image
In the organization’s journey from an on-premise Business Application setup to a Software as a Service one, one of the key factors of success is data migration . Of course, one starts with basic questions like “do I want or need to move to the cloud?”, “Which is the best SaaS solution for my case?”, “Does it address my special requirements?”, “am I content with the reporting/BI capabilities that it offers?” etc. But having answered all of the above, you should take into consideration the data migration issue. This post will point out some very significant issues around this subject, which you need to address and examine; probably in close co-operation with the SaaS vendor of your choice, before accepting their financial proposal and start the journey.

Reverse SLA

The relationships between customers and providers in the cloud business are generally governed by the Service Level Agreement or SLA. In a previous post I made the point that a really “tough” SLA is probably not the “holy grail” of the cloud business, which every customer should be looking for. In this post I will continue the same line of thought, focusing this time in the impact that a strict SLA has on the customer organization itself. For this purpose, I will use the term “Reverse SLA”.
