STRENGTHS

Established foundation: Years of experience managing our current IT infrastructure provides a solid foundation to build upon.

Experienced IT Team: Our dedicated IT staff possesses the in-depth knowledge to keep our current systems operational.


OPPORTUNITIES

Cloud computing as a significant opportunity for CVS.

Enhanced scalability and flexibility of IT infrastructure through cloud migration.

Better management of peak periods like Christmas and Easter (Jones, 2023).

Development of a national e-commerce strategy to reach a wider audience and increase revenue (Taylor, 2023)

WEAKNESSES

Outdated Systems: Our current IT systems are outdated, limiting functionality and hindering performance.

Lack of Integration: Incompatibility between different systems creates data silos and complicates information flow.

Data Management Challenges: Our existing infrastructure struggles to manage the ever-increasing volume of data we generate.



THREATS

Staff resistance to change as a potential threat to new IT systems implementation (Davis, 2023).

Shift to cloud-based solutions could expose CVS to data security risks with sensitive information stored on external servers (Williams, 2023)


Slide 3
STRENGTHS

Scalability and Flexibility: Cloud computing offers a scalable and flexible solution, allowing us to adapt to changing demands and peak periods.
Improved Integration: Cloud-based systems can seamlessly integrate with each other, streamlining information flow and decision-making.
Enhanced Data Management: Cloud solutions offer robust data management capabilities, improving data security and accessibility.


Slide 9
What is it? Ready-to-use software applications delivered over the internet on a subscription basis.

Benefits:
Easy to use and manage (minimal IT expertise required)
Scalable to meet changing needs
Cost-effective (predictable monthly fees)

Drawbacks:
Limited customization options
Vendor lock-in (dependence on the SaaS provider)
Data security concerns (data stored on external servers)


Slide 12
The best cloud service model for CVS depends on several factors:

IT expertise and resources

Budgetary constraints

Level of control and customization required

Specific application needs

Slide 15
What is it? BPaaS delivers pre-configured business processes like accounting, human resources, or marketing automation as cloud-based services.
Potential Benefits for CVS:
Streamlined Operations: Automate routine tasks like donor management or volunteer recruitment, freeing up staff for more strategic initiatives.
Improved Efficiency: Leverage pre-built workflows to improve efficiency and reduce errors in core business processes.
Reduced Costs: Eliminate the need to develop and maintain custom software applications in-house.

Slide 16
Reduced Energy Consumption: Cloud data centers leverage economies of scale, potentially using less energy per unit of compute power compared to on-premise IT infrastructure.

Renewable Energy Sources: Many cloud providers are investing in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to reduce their carbon footprint.

Hardware Optimization: Cloud providers constantly optimize their hardware for efficiency, reducing overall energy consumption.

Reduced E-Waste: Migrating to the cloud eliminates the need for CVS to dispose of outdated hardware, contributing to less electronic waste.
