Thank you for inviting me! Computer Measurement Group is a not-for-profit, worldwide organisation of IT professionals committed to sharing information and best practices focused on ensuring the efficiency and scalability of IT service delivery to the enterprise through measurement, quantitative analysis, and forecasting.
Computer performance is characterized by the amount ofuseful work accomplished by a computer system or computer network compared to the time and resources used. Depending on the context, good computer performance may involve one or more of the following: • Shortresponse time for a given piece of work • Highthroughput (rate of processing work) • Low utilization of computing resource(s) • High availability of the computing system or application • Fast (or highly compact) data compression and decompression • Highbandwidth / short data transmission time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance
In technology, response time is the time a system or functional unit takes to react to a given input.

Why Software is Eating the World … More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services—from movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the winners are Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology companies that are invading and overturning established industry structures. Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not.” The Wall Street Journal in August 2011
Enterprises are on a journey to leverage SMAC technologies to upgrade their infrastructureto improve efficiency and to reduce costs.
SMAC driving IT Modernization • Virtualization • Cloud Migration • Application Rationalization • CRM Implementation • BYOD Implementation • Setting up big data warehouse • Setting up internal and external communities Efficiency and Productivity are the main drivers for Enterprise IT Modernization.
Migration to the cloud and IT Modernization has the potential of reducing costs by over 30%.
