Cloud Strategy, Governance & TOM

Building a cloud & platform vision that achieves the required agility & control, aligned to the business needs and strategy​.

  • Misalignment of Cloud Strategies to Business are causing a failure in delivery of the perceived benefits​.
  • Promises of agility, innovation and velocity across a cost efficient platform are not being realized​.
  • Platform engineering and operations is not consistent, standardised or able to deliver required levels of automation to move the bar on maturity and efficiency​.
  • ​The strategy promised business innovation, but this has been eroded by poor data, technical debt and security issues​
  • Migration programme velocity has driven a lift and shift mentality, leaving true transformation and ability to leverage cloud benefits by the wayside​
  • Costs in cloud have accelerated beyond business case parameters due to lack of governance, cost by design or appropriate architectural decisions​
  • Lack of governance across migration planning, design, patterns and assurance processes has meant the programme is running out of control​
  • A one-size fits all operating model has left significant holes in the interactions between Application and Infra/Platform teams and the bi/tri mode operating models within the application lifecycle​

Cloud Pulse Engagement

Regionalised organisation aspires to define and achieve a Digital ambition. The company had few standards for IT. Infrastructure and the desktop were outsourced, complex and unstable. Aging kit & largely ungoverned cloud were causing expense and headache on constant basis. A new CIO had instigated a reorganisation for IT to become a global support capability. In the wake of this change, some key managers were developing a vision of a better way. They needed help to understand their position and the best orientation to succeed.
