Description

Strategic Intelligence: Cloud Computing in Consumer

Summary

This report delves into how cloud computing can be used to enhance operations within the consumer goods, foodservice, and packaging industries. The Cloud computing stack covers several different technologies, ranging from physical items like hardware and storage devices to cloud-related services like cloud infrastructure. This report outlines how cloud computing can be implemented by companies within the consumer sector to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve customer relations.

Cloud computing refers to computing delivered as an online service. It encompasses the provision of IT infrastructure, operating software, middleware, and applications hosted within a data center and accessed by the end-user via the internet. At its most basic, it can mean just using a remote server. At its most advanced, it includes everything needed to run software applications, like data centers, servers, and security systems. Over the past 15 years, cloud computing has been replacing the traditional IT stack. The consumer sector can replace its traditional IT infrastructure with cloud computing to help companies organize and analyze data, leading to innovative opportunities such as adopting generative AI (GenAI).

Scope
  • According to GlobalData, the consumer goods sector's spending on cloud computing will reach $28.2 billion in 2028, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% between 2023 and 2028.
  • GlobalData's Tech Sentiment Polls Q1 2025 report highlights that cloud computing ranks just behind cybersecurity as a technology currently disrupting industries.
  • As stated in the AWS sustainability report released in 2024, AWS infrastructure is roughly 3.6 times more energy efficient than the median of the US-based data centers surveyed, and nearly five times more efficient than the average enterprise data centers in Europe, due to a more efficient server population and higher server utilization.
  • According to Accenture, clients transitioning to cloud-based infrastructure see a 30% to 40% reduction in total cost of ownership.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
