The chief information officer (CIO) is pleased with the progress being made with the Software as a Service (SaaS) and Identity as a Service (IDaaS) efforts so far and wants to look at the supply chain program that was custom-written. The CIO wants it gone. An SOA approach may work here, which would involve some on- premise hardware. In the long term, the CIO might consider SOA and Infrastructure as a Service and is presently more interested in a PaaS approach. Complete the following for Section 3:
- Research 3 Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers, and identify why they may be considered as potential PaaS providers for the current supply chain program.
- Identify potential benefits and risks that may be unique to each PaaS provider.
- Include in your analysis a general discussion on budgeting considerations.
- Include a summary that details the PaaS provider that you would select, with justification.
