CLOUD, NO CLOUD OR
HYBRID?
Depends on the business context and need.
Usually companies moves some or its entire infrastructure to the cloud,

where services are delivered to an organization's computers and devices

through the Internet as an on-demand service.

Some enterprises may also choose a hybrid solution where cloud

applications are integrated with on premise systems.

ENTERPRISE MODELLING
Enterprise modelling is the abstract representation, description and

definition of the structure, processes, information and resources of an

identifiable business, government body, or other large organization.

It deals with the process of understanding an enterprise business and

improving its performance through creation of enterprise models. This

includes the modelling of the relevant business domain (usually relatively
stable), business processes (usually more volatile), and Information
technology.

BUSINESS PROCESS
MODELLING
Business process modelling (BPM) is the activity of representing processes

of an enterprise, so that the current ("as is") process may be analyzed and
improved in future ("to be").

Business process modelling is typically performed by business analysts and

managers who are seeking to improve process efficiency and quality.

The process improvements identified by business process modelling may or

may not require Information Technology involvement, although that is a

common driver for the need to model a business process, by creating a
process master.
