2. What is Cloud Collaboration?
Cloud collaboration is the ability to use Document Management
functions and applications in a cloud environment –
creation, storage, retrieval, check in/out, version control, records
management, security, search, audit history, etc.
For this presentation, we will focus cloud-based content information
management (CIM) systems that provide the basic functionality of a
standard document management system but do it as a cloud offering.

3. Some Cloud Essentials
 SaaS – A hosted application accessed through a Web Browser.
Provides an user interface with applications, such as blogs, email,
content management, office productivity, CRM, ERP…
 Examples include: Box, Salesforce, NetSuite, Gmail, Yammer...
 PaaS – An in-cloud platform for the development and deployment of
cloud software applications such as development tools/languages,
frameworks, management tools…
 Examples include: Force.com, Azure, Google AppEngine...
 IaaS – Provides virtual or physical hardware resources offered as a
service. Provides virtual machines, virtual storage, virtual infrastructure,
and S/W & H/W assets that can be provisioned for hosting applications.
Typically provides computer resources, networking, storage…
 Examples include: Rackspace, Heroku, Amazon...

4. Deployment Models
 Public Cloud - A public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing
model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications
and storage, available to the general public over the Internet. Public cloud
services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.
 Private Cloud - Private cloud is the implementation of cloud services on
resources that are dedicated to your organization, whether they exist on-
premises or off-premises.
 Community Cloud - A community cloud infrastructure is shared by several
organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns
(e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance
considerations).
 Hybrid Cloud - A hybrid cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more
clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are
bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data
and application portability.

5. Cloud Collaboration Applications
An Attempt at a Definition
 Store and Retrieve – very basic and functions like an FTP site. Typically
no document management capabilities – but can be useful.
 Content Collaboration – offers basic storage and retrieval but also
includes document management capabilities that allow multiple people
to collaborate on content
 Platform – offers a complete environment including storage and
retrieval, content management, and office productivity applications such
as word
processing, spreadsheet, presentations, calendaring, workflow, etc.
 Functional Applications – offers functional applications such as project
management, CRM, ERP, HR in addition to simple storage and retrieval
of documents
 Social Networking – offers the ability for social communities to be formed
in addition to simple storage and retrieval of documents
