Community Clouds: Supporting business ecosystems with cloud computing
Cloud services available so far mainly focus on horizontal solutions and rarely consider industry-specific requirements in terms of functionality or security. While
in this way the cost benefits of cloud-based services can be achieved (by maximising economies-of-scale effects), it is at the same time a major disadvantage in many potential application areas. In various industries such as healthcare or in the public sector, for instance, strict regulations inhibit the broad adoption of cloud computing although the fundamental concept is interesting for many companies.
Community clouds provide the capability to realize business processes “in the cloud“ and at the same time preserve a high security level by means of hybrid
deployment models. Non business-critical information and processing can be sourced to the public cloud, while business critical services are kept in-house or in a private cloud environment at a trusted outsourcing partner.

Understanding Global Sourcing Services - Infosys
Global sourcing differs from internally developed and operated services. Global sourcing requires working with third-party organisations that operate in different cultural norms, and often, at a different organisational level.
