Strategic Intelligence: Cloud Computing in Consumer

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).
