Topic: Improving Operational Efficiency of Applications via Cloud
Computing
Introduction
Cloud migration can be stated as the distribution for various activities which is taken
organization in the process of migration. It merely comprises of business elements for cloud
computing environment in speedy way (Chou, 2015). Some of the most important aspects are
low cost, rapid scalability and overall flexibility. Cloud computing will merely help the firm in
having alertness and speed that affects the overall operational efficiency.
Research objective
To understand the benefits of operational efficiency by the help of cloud computing
 Extreme Drop in IT dependence and impediment
 Cutting Cost and Scalability
 Augmented Security
 Facility of remote collaboration.
Literature Review
As stated by Zhou et al., (2018), organization will merely pay for the cloud computing
application, which is used by them. They do not provide any kind of big project for producing
support and management of IT teams. It will merely help in reducing the overall cost of
operation, which will help in improve their IT processes. Providers of cloud service will have
huge number of challenges like electronic hardware keeping the whole thing in workable
environment. This will merely aim in protecting from both cyber-security and any kind of

security hazards. Organization can easily hire IT department, which will merely focus on serving
the overall business aims instead of preservation of infrastructure. Cloud Capacity will ultimately
help in reducing the overall cost of the organization. The given firm can easily scale up and
down as per the given requirement without any kind of financial and time loss. There are many
advantages of development of cloud application (Cui et al., 2017). Cloud services aim to offer
certain number of tools that are just in time for migration. It comes up with certain number of
tools which can successfully duplicate the given data and reduce the required storage space. It
comes up with cost of network bandwidth, which is needed for migration process. It will merely
bring huge amount of having for the firm by making use of cloud computing.
According to Liang et al., (2017), implementation of cloud computing will ultimately
increase the overall security by protecting it from hacking and theft of internal data. This will
merely reduce the overall data that is being used in cloud environment. It can be accessed
irrespective of any kind of hardware issue and breakdown of physical machinery. The given data
will be much secure removing any kind of threat related to lose or even theft (Chou, 2015). The
given data will be stored in the cloud environment; it can be accessed irrespective of hardware
problem and breaking down of the physical memory. The given data will be much secured along
with elimination of threat for any kind of loss or even theft of data.
Research Methodology
The following research will be completed by making use of secondary data which is
needed for fulfilling the objectives of the research. The data will be collected from the journal
articles related to this topic.
