Introduction What is Cloud Computing?
Historical Technology Shifts Before the turn of the 20th century, each factory had to generate their own electricity… Centralized power plants and the electrical grid allowed the distribution of electricity, reducing the costs to open and operate factories The technology shifted to a utility model from “Do it yourself”. This shift resulted in enormous economic benefits.
Shift to the Cloud - Music: • Any song or album • Anytime • Anywhere • Flexible pricing • Unlimited monthly pricing • Only buy one song • Instantly available and streamed over a network • The “Solution” (Music) is the same, but it is implemented, delivered, procured, and consumed differently.
We are at the very beginning of a major shift… Adoption Curve Cloud ComputingPublic or Private TraditionalData Centers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2000 2005 2010

Private Clouds and Cloud Technologies Private Cloud: A private cloud is typically secured in an organizations data center, or managed by a hosting organization in a private and secure manner. Shares the same characteristics as any cloud solution would, such as elasticity, charge/show back, high-availability. Private Cloud Optimized Secure Scalable Elastic Optimized Standard Consolidated Rationalized Secure Provisioning Prioritization Recovery Service Driven Managed Proactive Capability Maturity bySolution Private clouds represent a significant growth in the marketplace. Insight already sells many of the Cloud Enabling Technologies, and now will better promote a Private Cloud roadmap for clients.

InsightCloud Success Stories (Insert Microsoft Office 365 Video Testimonial)
InsightCloud Success Stories Client: Investment Company Client Size: 500 users Solution Implemented: BPOS – Full Suite Reason: Divestiture of a Business Unit Need: Speed and Agility The client was splitting the 500-seat company by divesting a 200-seat business unit. As a divested company, this new business didn’t have a large IT staff and wanted to move their 200-seat email infrastructure into the cloud. The challenge was they had to completely separate from the parent company in under 30 days – including setting up the new platform, extracting the 200 users’ 6 TB of email data from the parent company (both current inbox as well as historical archived emails). Insight was engaged and was able to scope the solution and accepted the deployment challenge. Within two weeks of contract signing, Insight and new business were able to successfully deploy / implement BPOS, migrate over all current inbox data as well as implement and integrate a hosted email archiving solution from a third party seamlessly with Exchange Online. The user community was successfully cutover and the client received significant internal praise on the project. The bottom-line was that the company was able to cost-effectively leverage external expert resources to complete this rollout under budget and under the targeted timeframe.
InsightCloud Success Stories (continued) Client: Cosmeceutical Product Company Client Size: 150 users Solution Implemented: Business Productivity Online Suite Reason: Reduction in Force Need: IT Staff Augmentation • Client approached Insight due to challenges they were facing with a significant reduction-in-force and, in doing so, reduced their workforce by over 40%. In that reduction, his IT staff was cut from four employees to one (himself) and knew he was expected to still support and maintain the IT SLAs back to the business. • His first order of business was avoiding any capital expenditure while upgrading his messaging platform. This was a very natural progression for the Microsoft Online Services discussion and after a short demo and proof of concept – 30 day trial -- Insight and client were ready to deploy the solution in stages. By their sales conference a month later, client was ready to deploy the service to all 140+ users. Insight deployed the solution and the Insight technical support team provided training via BPOS LiveMeeting training sessions to the staff. • The rollout and deployment went seamlessly and according to plan and client received significant internal praise on the project. The bottom line impact was that client was able to reduce their costs, deploy an upgraded messaging platform and maintain better SLA’s back to their internal business, completely within 30 days.
InsightCloud Success Stories (continued) Client: Healthcare product development, manufacture and sales Client Size: 30,000+ Employees Solution Implemented: Emails Archiving and Email Hygiene Services Reason: Migrate off Legacy System Need: Greater Functionality and Flexibility while Reducing Costs • InsightCloud delivered Email Archiving and Email Hygiene Services over 3+ year contract term for the entire enterprise. The incumbent solution was not efficient for many reasons, but primarily regarding costs and lack of functionality. After a detailed assessment of global email environment, Insight proposed a best in class enterprise email archiving solution from our partner, LiveOffice. • It was discovered the software solutions filtering email for spam/virus/content/image, as well as for policies came at a large expense with low value benefit and little capability for scale, especially with the company’s continued need to manage fluctuating user base (merger/acquisition activity). Insight proposed Symantec Hosted Services (Email Safeguard/Encryption Services) in a fixed predictable per user per month model, allowing for scalability and providing best in class services and support. • The Insight team was able to pull in best-in-class service providers (LiveOffice and Symantec) and drove the sales cycle through the preliminary evaluation process, RFP response, legal discussions and negotiations to contract execution – and provide a turn-key solution under one umbrella.
Cloud Computing: Insight Benefits In addition to helping clients solve business problems: Client Acquisition • Clients already have established suppliers for hardware and software. • No one has established cloud services suppliers yet. • Cloud solutions help break into net new accounts Client Relationships • Offering cloud solutions to clients entangles and bonds the relationships between Insight and clients at a higher level within the organization • Helps expand outside of Insight traditional client contacts within Procurement and IT
Cloud Computing: Insight Benefits (continued) Gross Margin • Substantially higher margins than hardware or software 20-50% Gross Margin • Over the past six years, the combined portfolio of 600+ clients is over 20% of Gross Margin Recurring Revenue • Established cloud contracts yield recurring revenue and recurring GP. • Clients who purchased six years ago are still buying from Insight every month with no (or minimal) touch Share of Wallet • Hardware, software, and additional services sales follow into cloud-only clients • Incremental cloud sales into existing hardware and software accounts
Profiting from the Cloud: Recurring Revenue Example • One client: 100 seats, $2 in GP per seat per month = $200 GP per month • Sell to 10 clients and now have $2,000 in GP to start every month • Larger field based deal for 30,000 seats is close to $15k in GP every month
