Cloud Computing Gartner: Reading the Tea Leaves, June 2011 The Clients Perspective Gartner: 2011 CIO Priorities Ranking of technologies CIOs selected as in their top 5 priorities:

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing: Client Benefits People Managed and run by a team of experts Free up IT staff to focus on more productive functions Fully managed solution Process Rapid activation and protection Works immediately with little configuration or setup Same or better SLA when compared to internal SLA Technology Always at the current release level No major IT environment changes required No hardware or software purchase required Business Administration Reduce expenses Operating Expense and not a Capital Expense Conserve cash Invoiced monthly (pre-paid annual contract) Only pay for what is consumed (avoid overbuying)

Cloud Computing Business Challenges Clients need help with: Driving operational costs down Improving service quality and reliability Reducing the load on staff to focus on other duties and projects Augmenting in-house expertise and skills Increasing geographic coverage and supporting remote branches Reducing business Impact for outages Increasing business agility and speed Cloud Computing can help!

Cloud Computing InsightCloud Success Stories (Insert Microsoft Office 365 Video Testimonial)

Cloud Computing Client: Investment Company Client Size: 500 users Solution Implemented: BPOS Full Suite Reason: Divestiture of a Business Unit Need: Speed and Agility The client was splitting the 500-seat company by divesting a 200-seat business unit. As a divested company, this new business didnt have a large IT staff and wanted to move their 200-seat email infrastructure into the cloud. The challenge was they had to completely separate from the parent company in under 30 days including setting up the new platform, extracting the 200 users 6 TB of email data from the parent company (both current inbox as well as historical archived emails). Insight was engaged and was able to scope the solution and accepted the deployment challenge. Within two weeks of contract signing, Insight and new business were able to successfully deploy / implement BPOS, migrate over all current inbox data as well as implement and integrate a hosted email archiving solution from a third party seamlessly with Exchange Online. The user community was successfully cutover and the client received significant internal praise on the project. The bottom-line was that the company was able to cost-effectively leverage external expert resources to complete this rollout under budget and under the targeted timeframe. InsightCloud Success Stories

Cloud Computing InsightCloud Success Stories (continued) Client: Cosmeceutical Product Company Client Size: 150 users Solution Implemented: Business Productivity Online Suite Reason: Reduction in Force Need: IT Staff Augmentation Client approached Insight due to challenges they were facing with a significant reduction-in-force and, in doing so, reduced their workforce by over 40%. In that reduction, his IT staff was cut from four employees to one (himself) and knew he was expected to still support and maintain the IT SLAs back to the business. His first order of business was avoiding any capital expenditure while upgrading his messaging platform. This was a very natural progression for the Microsoft Online Services discussion and after a short demo and proof of concept 30 day trial -- Insight and client were ready to deploy the solution in stages. By their sales conference a month later, client was ready to deploy the service to all 140+ users. Insight deployed the solution and the Insight technical support team provided training via BPOS LiveMeeting training sessions to the staff. The rollout and deployment went seamlessly and according to plan and client received significant internal praise on the project. The bottom line impact was that client was able to reduce their costs, deploy an upgraded messaging platform and maintain better SLAs back to their internal business, completely within 30 days.

Cloud Computing InsightCloud Success Stories (continued) 37 Client: Healthcare product development, manufacture and sales Client Size: 30,000+ Employees Solution Implemented: Emails Archiving and Email Hygiene Services Reason: Migrate off Legacy System Need: Greater Functionality and Flexibility while Reducing Costs InsightCloud delivered Email Archiving and Email Hygiene Services over 3+ year contract term for the entire enterprise. The incumbent solution was not efficient for many reasons, but primarily regarding costs and lack of functionality. After a detailed assessment of global email environment, Insight proposed a best in class enterprise email archiving solution from our partner, LiveOffice. It was discovered the software solutions filtering email for spam/virus/content/image, as well as for policies came at a large expense with low value benefit and little capability for scale, especially with the companys continued need to manage fluctuating user base (merger/acquisition activity). Insight proposed Symantec Hosted Services (Email Safeguard/Encryption Services) in a fixed predictable per user per month model, allowing for scalability and providing best in class services and support. The Insight team was able to pull in best-in-class service providers (LiveOffice and Symantec) and drove the sales cycle through the preliminary evaluation process, RFP response, legal discussions and negotiations to contract execution and provide a turn-key solution under one umbrella.

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing: Insight Benefits In addition to helping clients solve business problems: Client Acquisition Clients already have established suppliers for hardware and software. No one has established cloud services suppliers yet. Cloud solutions help break into net new accounts Client Relationships Offering cloud solutions to clients entangles and bonds the relationships between Insight and clients at a higher level within the organization Helps expand outside of Insight traditional client contacts within Procurement and IT

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing: Insight Benefits (continued) Gross Margin Substantially higher margins than hardware or software 20-50% Gross Margin Over the past six years, the combined portfolio of 600+ clients is over 20% of Gross Margin Recurring Revenue Established cloud contracts yield recurring revenue and recurring GP. Clients who purchased six years ago are still buying from Insight every month with no (or minimal) touch Share of Wallet Hardware, software, and additional services sales follow into cloud-only clients Incremental cloud sales into existing hardware and software accounts

Cloud Computing Profiting from the Cloud: Recurring Revenue Example One client: 100 seats, $2 in GP per seat per month = $200 GP per month Sell to 10 clients and now have $2,000 in GP to start every month Larger field based deal for 30,000 seats is close to $15k in GP every month
