Introduction
The use of cloud based system for the management and storage system in any enterprise
is the new trend of managing operations efficiently. This allows to access the information
remotely, infinite space to store data, new functionalities to provide an update of tasks, keeps a
record of the evaluation of performance.
Therefore in the below report the various aspects of cloud-based solutions to implement
in the organization will be discussed, along with its strengths and weakness. The last part will
consist of the comparison of the unified process and the scrum and best-recommended
methodology to implement the new solution.
Aspect of Cloud-Based solution
The cloud-based solution is based on the availability of resources and the storage of data.
It does not require direct management. The data center is the mid-point of all the management of
the operation of the information system (Helo et al., 2014). As it manages all the operations
under one roof it will be beneficial to use the cloud-based system to maintain all the branches of
the cake shop all in one place. As the cloud has infinite space for information storage all the
inventory data of the company such as stock data, requirement of resources, employee’s health
information, managing daily tasks of the stores, track all the transaction, regulate notification for
resources only when required, track store performance, etc. (Chauhan, P., & Harnett, 2018). all
this can be performed by the standalone cloud-based information system.

Strength of the system
The strength of the cloud-based system is as follows:
 Abundant storage space- The cloud service is totally based on the internet and its
storage space has no limit. The cake franchise can keep them all record regarding the
resources, employees detains, store information at one place (Tejesh & Neeraja, 2018).
The possibility of missing or insufficient space of data can be abolished
 Mobile system- The system is totally a mobile system hence it won’t acquire any
physical; space and easy access will accelerate all the operations across the store. The
employees can invest that time in inefficient work.
 Gives automatic update- The information system will have the feature of providing
automatic update when the stock is exhausted and provide the exact number for the
resource requirement (Bhosale, P., & Deo, 2018).
 Keeps track of performance- All the activities of the franchises are stored in the cloud.
It can perform a comparison check with the earlier activities and track the performance of
the stores are providing valuable feedback.
Weakness of the system
The weakness of the system is:
 Security issues- As the system is based on an online platform, the possibility of threats
and attacks to vandalize with the system is possible (Zheng & Wu, 2017). The attackers
can hack the system to extort information of the company and use it against them only.
