5 TOP 10 TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES © 2013 - Robert G. Parker S-5 10. Managing Vendors and Service Providers Outsourcing and Offshoring are Not New Outsourced Service Offerings are Not New What is New is the Technology- Specifically Cloud Computing SaaS (Software as a Service ) provides users with application software.. SaaS facilitates deployment of applications without the cost and complexity of buying and maintaining the software. PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides users with a computing platform or solution stack. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) a virtualized platform combined with storage and a network. Billing of services is based on the amount of resources consumed. The cost will typically reflect the level of activity

6 TOP 10 TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES © 2013 - Robert G. Parker S-6 Issues & Risks - Security, Privacy, Availability and Continuity Security – Cloud providers’ security practices, co-mingling of data from other users, cloud service providers' business practices, SSAE 16/3416 Privacy – Cloud providers’ privacy practices, location of data, possible breach of Canadian/Provincial laws (e.g. PHI) Availability – Cloud providers’ financial stability, robustness of infrastructure, redundancy of critical components, up-time record Continuity – Business continuity and disaster recovery plans, incident response plans/history Compliance – Ability to comply with legislative, regulatory and industry requirements, e.g. privacy, (PIPEDA) security (ISO 27002), financial (GLB, PCI), Health Care, HIPPA, HiTech, PHIPA 10.
