A key differentiator of Cloud is the ability to consume services on a pray per user basis. The paradigm shift enables organisations to change the way they procure, consume and think about designing their services, to continue to reduce their cost to serve the needs of their customers, internal and external to their organisation. In addition, the frequent release of cloud services and cost reductions requires a different behavior to solution design, focusing on driving continuous service review and improvement activities to keep pace over the classic project driven approach.
