INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing is based on the information technology services that provides
computing power and storage away from the company. Cloud is generally just means to remote
data centre which handle the services require rather than the Local IT system. This assignment
will discuss about the ICT innovation and also evolution of applications. Furthermore, This
documentation will discuss about the key benefits and issues that resulting from ICT innovation
application within the business process. At last, It will analyse the case study of company and
regards to the ICT innovation application.
MAIN BODY
Research review on the ICT innovation, discuss the evolution and application.
ICT innovation is a key element in term of growth and development of economic crisis. It
will be game changer which enables for emerging the economies to sustain their growth in the
future development. Apple is a leading organization that work on the icloud that provide the
access to data and information where any people easily connect with the other devices in proper
manner (Al-Hujran and et.al., 2018). It is the new innovation in terms of information
communication technology that support to store the information and also associated with apple
id. On the other hand, the other application are capable of saving the data to icloud which
automatically synchronised.
Apple has builds a truly sustainable competitive advantages due to the current valuation
premium services. It is brining out the New one which is icloud innovation for increasing the
demand in marketplace because icloud is a type of wireless system where all the user easily syn
their files and keep it protect safely. This application is important to transfer the important
information such as pictures, videos at any time.
Evolution of icloud innovation and application
icloud is usually type of cloud storage and computing services which provided by the
apple and launched on 12 October 2011.This service provide to the user with store large number
of data on the remote server and also directly download or share to another users. In 2011, Apple
has announced icloud in market where it become available to use in iTunes update. There are 20
million users in less than a week after launch (Byun, Sung andPark, 2018). It demonstrate the
service at the apple world wide developer conferences.

There are several application which allows for storing the heterogeneous information
such as document, backup, ibooks, contacts, apps, music and photos. This platform is also
providing for apple email servers and calendars therefore, other ios and MacOS application
developer can use to implement the icloud functionality in their application by using icloud API.
Discuss key benefits and issues resulting from the application of ICT innovation (icloud service)
within the business.
Apple has always set the specific high bar when it comes to give its user with gadgets, be
its tablet and mobile phones. Innovations always goes hand in hand by giving the facilitating its
user with the best quality of services. Apple has launched the icloud services in market when it
come to the storage there is no doubt where it stored large amount of data and information in the
server. They can introduce the icloud service which are recently comes in market to operate
various type of hardware devices (Kasemsap, 2018). Apple icloud extends the advantages by
enabling users to track, retrieve, better secure, and erase data and information on lost equipment.
This type of icloud is easily synchronizes appointments, email, contacts and reminders, note
across the people devices, thereby simplifying the daily task of accessing, editing, and
synchronizing critical and commonly used data. It is manually attempt to share, backup , track
and otherwise manage all the devices and datasets in proper manner. There are several type of
icloud benefits which help to understand their usage in terms of ICT innovation.
 Earlier, it was very difficult to keep protect all the iTunes music as well as TV series in
the apple gadgets because it increases the space problems but now icloud services help to
easily download any type of music from the iTunes and other at same time (Van Dinh
and et.al., 2018).
 When user can choose icloud service so that it get free on email id which help to easily
synchronise the email, contacts and calendar in proper manner. It doesn't matter whether
user have an already existing email id. In this way, icloud always keep all the data safe
and secure.
 Streaming images and photos now become easier to transfer from one device to another.
It always maintain the services through DSLR where easily photos get streamed in the
icloud service or view at any time.
 User can connect with their friends and lot of options are available to share the location to
other one. In this way, someone else is easily search the destination in proper manner.

Issues:
icloud is automatically enabled when users are running the devices on other ios 9 and
other services. It cannot connect to the server to generate error messages. In this way, it needed
to check the status of apple's server and identify the problem behind it. It may need to verify the
icloud account in update in proper manner (Khan and et.al., 2018).
Usually application that can use icloud drive to store data and share from one device to
another by default. Sometimes, it is either in the application which doesn't generate an
appropriate results and outcomes.
Conduct a case study analysis on icloud regards to the ICT innovation application.
Apple today introduced the icloud service which break through set of new cloud service
and work in seamlessly with the other application. It is automatically and wirelessly store the
data and push it all the devices. In context of ICT, It is basically type of innovation of
information communication where icloud help to share the data or information from one device
to another (Loukis and Kyriakou, 2018). It is wirelessly services which update instantly. Users
can share the calendars with their family and friends. They have backup service that
automatically secure the backup file in the devices. In today's world, it keep secure and protect
the information and content up to date across the different devices.
As per apple case study, it has reported that the software manufactures website, icloud
allows the acquisition of data stored on the backup online. Moreover, This online backup can
acquire without having any type of ios devices. It needed to access the online backup which uses
the apple id and password therefore, there are 1,000 images store on each devices so that user
can view and move to the album and save (Nanos, Manthou and Androutsou, 2019). The icloud
services was announced on 2011 during the apple world wide developer conference. In this way,
all user were moved towards the new environment to use the icloud services. It help to occupied
the enough space and store or downloaded on all the devices with associated with apple's id of
user. Cloud computing has recently emerged with the ICT innovation to improve the best ways
to business as well their services. icloud is also part of computing to influence the ICT for
managing the services where it operates the central location of ICT to manage data and
knowledge but make them available on demand.
At earlier, It is very difficult task to manage and handle the available data through
different sources such as real time information. In this way, apple was launched the icloud

services can give the right path to the information communication technology to share the details
from one platform to another by using mobile technology. While the objective is communication
and information, Apple can develop the countless innovative application development but which
could not possible to manage all the service without using internet or smart phone. ICT have
influences on the cloud services and emerging with the technologies to operates the overall
business in proper manner (Sudhier and Seena, 2018). Apple icloud which includes the different
type of features and components such as icloud drive, icloud storage plans, family sharing etc. It
is highly cloud file service platform that permits the user to leverage the secure. It is highly
reliable and capable to share the store the variety of files and also synchronize the across the
different devices.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It has recommended to use the icloud service in term of information communication
technology that support the entire business to manage all the sensitive data in proper manner.
This service help for business process to transfer the information from one platform to another.
Cloud computing is the main part in context of information communication technology that help
for enterprise to manage large number of data in appropriate manner. It has builds a truly
sustainable competitive advantages due to the current valuation premium services. It has
recommended to implement the icloud innovation for increasing the demand in marketplace
because icloud is a type of wireless system where all the user easily sync their files and keep it
protect safely. It helps to transfer the important information such as pictures, videos at any time.

CONCLUSION
As per discussion, it concluded that Cloud computing is basically a cloud file storage
service and also share the information from one platform to another. Cloud is usually ways to
secure and synchronize the information across the different devices. It is also remote data centre
which handle the services require rather than the Local IT system. It summarised the discuss
about the ICT innovation and also evolution of applications. Furthermore, This documentation
