  • Ats Jamcracker - a Case Study

    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  ...
