Cloud Adoption
There are many actions enterprises can take that have proved valuable to early adopters of cloud-enabled next-generation infrastructure.
Before beginning any cloud development or migration, take a dispassionate look at the existing IT portfolio to determine what is suited for public cloud platforms or SaaS alternatives.
Involve all key stakeholders in determining whether your enterprise will be an aggressive or opportunistic transformer.
Create a well-defined set of outcome-oriented aspirations for both the short and long term in line with your approach. Ensure commitment and investment from senior management, particularly finance leaders, who must support the transfer from capital to operations and maintenance investments/accounting. A heavily automated agile operating model will require significant shifts in IT behaviors and mind-sets. Invest in both change management and the development of cross-functional skills across infrastructure, security, and application environments.
Measure and reward your technology team for standardization and automation rather than, say, for availability.
By viewing cloud computing as a starting point for IT automation, companies may be able to have it all: scalability, agility, flexibility, efficiency, and cost savings. But that’s only possible by building up both automation and cloud capabilities and we can help you start you on the right track and will be there with you every step of the way
