Meeting Modern Demands
“Cloud is the journey, not the destination. Strategy is transformative, and organisations need to embrace change as Cloud strategy evolves. Not all solutions are created equal, and what might work for one might not work for another.” – Jonathan Kamminga
Negotiables and Non-Negotiables
When establishing which Cloud operating model is correct for your organisation, and how it will fit within your wider processes, current Cloud deployments and existing infrastructure, keeping a clear overview of your negotiables and non-negotiables is imperative. Understanding what your key needs of your operating model are when considering your essential processes, such as where your data is stored, how readily you need access to it, and how secure that storage needs to be considering how sensitive the data is, are all examples of what might be negotiable – or not so negotiable.
Location, Location, Location
“Everyone has a different story, but there’s always an element of adaptability in their tales of success.” – Richard Flooks
A vital part of mitigating potential challenges in Cloud operating model rollout is considering location. While ‘expecting the unexpected’ is a great maxim, preparing for the unexpected is even better. Leveraging your preparation from the right location gives you the greatest chance of successful implementation, as does learning from the collective knowledge and experience from across the industry – handily condensed in this podcast episode.
