Ats Jamcracker - a Case Study
Q1. What market gap Jamcracker model is trying to address? Jamcracker was inspired by the Application Service Provider concept. It was a web based technology addressing the IT log jams problem for companies. There were many businesses that had the technology, but lacked enough infrastructure or capital to invest on IT infrastructure. There was this market gap which could be filled so that such companies could achieve economies of scale. Jamcracker was an ASP aggregator. There were a lot of ASPs available in the market. However the consumer had to reach out to each ASP individually to meet its requirements. Jamcracker offered a solution in this space by creating an online platform where companies could access various ASPs and select the ones as per their requirement. They were providing cloud services as a broker. So instead of a company having to setup an internal IT capability could save on setup time and money by acquiring cloud computing services via Jamcracker. Also, since all ASPs were now on one platform, the data could be shared or transferred between the ASPs the company wished to access. This form of integration increased the level of service provided to the end consumer. Jamcracker was targeting a wide variety of end consumers whose needs could be disparate. It was providing a single point for access, security, billing, administration and support to both the providers and the end customers. Jamcracker was catering to this gap between the ASPs and the end customers by creating an all in one solution for both. It saved the direct sales marketing cost for the ASPs and provided an all in one platform for the companies. So effectively it was playing on margins at both the ends and also saving cost on data storage and delivery of IT services. Q2. How viable is the business model? Jamcracker worked on a Cloud Service Brokerage model, providing the users with an IT framework for delivering and managing different clour services. Jamcracker's unique advantage over other ASP's was that it brought all possible ASP services under a single umbrella for the benefit of its clients. And the fee paid by the clients was Jaamcracker's primary source of revenue. This was a modest amount which included a per user per month fee for access to Jamcracker's service infrastructure, and an additional per user per month fee for additional services that the clients chose to use. The capital investments were fairly small because Jamcracker was not actually operating the application services (this was done by ASP partners). Only a relatively small investment in hardware was required to authenticate users to ASP partners and generate data necessary for integrated billing. The costs involved in engineering, sales and service delivery and support were considerable, but the overall economics were favourable. If the volume achieved was adequate, the cost reduction made possible by delivering services via the ASP model would result in generous margins. With the ever increasing use of Software as a Service, one would expect the volumes to rise hence making the model very viable in the long run. Q3. What are the critical challenges for the business model to be sustainable? a. Addressing Customer Concerns: Since ASP model was new, many customers were apprehensive about privacy, service levels and security of their data. Jamcracker had to prove the reliability of their model to allay customer concerns. Since, Jamcracker was just an aggregator, they had to ensure that all ASP providers that serve them followed the high security and privacy standards. Any lapse or error from suppliers had the potential to destroy Jamcracker's credibility. b. Achieving economies of scale: Their business model works on the principle that increase in number of customers leads to increase in number of suppliers and vice versa. This allows the company to negotiate better contracts with the suppliers as well as offer better deals to their customers. However, the main problem is to get this virtuous cycle ...
