Strategy & Business Model Prototyping
On-demand applications have changed the dynamic between IT and business functions forever.
Historically, IT has led the process of selecting and implementing software applications. But today, operational departments such as sales, marketing, technical support, and human resources are selecting on-demand applications such as salesforce.com, Google Enterprise, and SuccessFactors - often going around IT to get them implemented. Business users believe on-demand applications are easier to use because they require nothing more than a web browser to use and even to administer and maintain. Business leaders believe on-demand is easier to implement, and easier to manage and control. However, in the long run, avoiding IT does not serve the best interests of the enterprise.
Appirio believes that IT organizations need to embrace the empowerment that on-demand technology provides to the business, in order to avoid a new generation of stovepipes. At Appirio, we speak the language of both business and IT people. We work to bridge traditional gaps so that on-demand solutions bring both business value and new levels of collaboration to your organization.
For some organizations, the right first step is developing a business model prototype. This unique 4-8 week project is targeted to executives at large and mid-sized organizations who want a better understanding of how cloud computing can radically improve their business processes, help them reach new customers, solve new problems or penetrate new markets. Appirio experts work with an organization's executive team to identify new business models which previously could not be realized because of limitations in resources or IT capabilities. Appirio will then build a working prototype using leading on-demand platforms like Salesforce and Google, providing a concrete way to make that vision a reality in a matter of weeks or months, not years.

Our vision is the serverless enterprise. Our goal is to help you figure out the path to that vision that's right for your business.
