Some of the Critical to Success Factors Needed for the Implementation of Cloud-Based Analytics Programs

Success Factors for Operation and Maintenance

Dependability of Service
Competitive edge comes more from combination of high-scale, high quality and low-cost providers
Robust Security Control controls
Agile and Six Sigma frameworks for future processes scalability, reliability and sustainability
Incremental Scalability which allow users to access additional compute resources on-demand in response to increased application loads

Design to meet and exceed compliance requirements
Measured services that include the monitoring and reporting of quantitative and qualitative performance indicators
High Level of service quality with robust support for the users
- Reliability on Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
  - The SLA is achieve through improved reliability with shared redundancy either through expanding computing capacity of a highly scalable single cloud or through integrated multiple clouds. Cloud or pool when more computing power is desired.

On-demand services
- delivered on demand
- which bases cost on actual usage, a pay-per-use business model.
Service-oriented :
- The cloud is a natural home for service-oriented applications, which need a way to easily scale as services get incorporated into other applications.
- Users only pay for the services they use, either by subscription or transaction-based models.
Opportunity to transfer the capital expenditure or CapEx to other parts of the operations which can have more chance of improved return on investment
