Dear Pierce,

Alfa has published a new paper on SaaS and cloud services - the latest in our series on agile implementation.

The increasing use of public cloud infrastructure is a prime example of external expertise that can simplify and accelerate build and roll-out, reducing risk and freeing up talent to focus on higher-value effort that delivers a competitive advantage. 

Our latest paper Cloud Services: Finding Success with SaaS discusses different deployment models, factors technology teams should consider when making deployment decisions, and the consequent evolution of cloud deployment models. It also uncovers the impact of cloud deployments on agile delivery of complex enterprise systems transformation projects.

About the Innovation in Implementation series

Agile working is about eliminating the barriers to getting work done efficiently, with the greatest flexibility and fewest constraints. It's been around for a long time but, when applied in practice to an enterprise systems implementation project, is easy to get wrong.

In the Innovation in Implementation series, Alfas agile experts draw on their talent and experience to discuss ways in which agile can be used to deliver quickly and often. They present the main challenges to consider when operating within a complex systems landscape, with many interdependent factors that arent easy to separate into manageable chunks.

Alongside cloud and SaaS, the series covers other critical systems transformation concepts such as phased implementations, complex data migrations and systems integration.

We hope you enjoy reading the new report, and if you have any feedback or questions, please do get in touch.

Best regards,

The Alfa Team
