AbstrakTeknologi cloud computing pada era sekarang berkembang pesat. Penerapan teknologi cloud computing sudah merambah ke berbagai industri, mulai dari perusahaan besar hingga perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Perambahan cloud computing di perindustrian berupa implementasi ke dalam sistem ERP. Namun, penetrasi teknologi ini dalam lingkup perusahaan kecil dan menengah (UKM) masih belum sekuat perusahaan besar. Penerapan ERP berbasis cloud computing yang masih tergolong baru tentu memiliki keuntungan dan penghambat yang mempengaruhi kinerja perusahaan. Hal tersebut menjadi salah satu pertimbangan UKM masih enggan menggunakan teknologi ini. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis framework yang paling sesuai untuk UKM dalam menerapkan sistem ERP berbasis cloud computing. Framework yang dianalisa yaitu Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), dan Platform as as Service (PaaS). Ketiga framework ini akan dibandingkan menggunakan metode studi literatur. Tolak ukur yang menjadi acuan untuk perbandingan adalah Compatibility, Cost, Flexibility, Human Resource, Implementation, Maintenance, Security, dan Usability. Faktor-faktor tersebut akan diukur keuntungan dan penghambatnya jika diterapkan dalam SME. Hasil dari penilitian ini adalah Framework SaaS yang paling cocok untuk diterapkan pada perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Kata kunci— Cloud Computing, UKM, SaaS, IaaS, PaaS

Purpose The study aims to focus on the present automation status of the college libraries with an objective to offer enhanced Web-based library service on an affordable virtualization on cloud computing model. Design/methodology/approach With Infrastructure as a Service (Infrastructure as a Service) delivery model, this study demonstrates how libraries of colleges/smaller institutes could be connected to cloud Library Management System infrastructure through internet or dedicated point-to-point WAN connectivity. The Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model depicts how college libraries could form library consortium at its own private cloud environment with installation of the required LMS application, database, middleware and other prerequisites. Findings A cloud-based consortium approach for the college libraries will reduce the cost of purchasing hardware equipment and setting up of infrastructural facilities; relieve libraries of involving additional IT skilled manpower; foster collaborative approach with shared environment and minimise duplication in resource subscription. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present study is the first of its kind in the light of shifting of infrastructure, software and hardware requirements of smaller libraries for cooperative sharing in both IaaS and SaaS cloud platform. The study delineates step by step how college libraries could effectively leverage the cooperative cloud architecture for enhanced library services to reach wider user community.

Purpose Although the wind power industry has been booming in China during the last decade, the development of wind turbine aftermarket service is still lagging behind, which seriously affects the operational efficiency of wind farms. If wind turbine manufacturers get involved in the aftermarket, the service pricing policy will impact the profits of both the manufacturer and the wind farm. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss an optimal service pricing strategy in the wind turbine aftermarket and design a method to improve electricity generation efficiency through service contract design. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In order to decide the maintenance quantity and channel effort level, the authors design a normal Stackelberg game and an efficiency value-added revenue-sharing contract and discuss two kinds of revenue increment sharing models under situations, in which the supply chain’s leaders are the wind farm and the wind turbine manufacturer, respectively. Findings The results show that in either case, there exist optimal power generation revenue-sharing ratios that can maximize profit. At the same time, the authors outline an optimal service pricing policy, maintenance demand policy and channel service effort-level policy. The results summarize the influences of wind aftermarket services on wind farms’ and wind turbine manufacturers’ profit, which provides managerial insights into the process of manufacturing servitization. Practical implications The manufacturer’s channel effort level will influence the power generation increments very much, so the authors have developed a mechanism to stimulate the manufacturer improving the efficiency of aftermarket services. Originality/value Taking the power generation increment revenue as the profit increment function, the authors discuss the influence of service price on the profit increment of the wind farm and the wind turbine manufacturer and also consider the influence of service price on the wind farms maintenance quantity and wind turbine manufacturers channel effort level.
