Does this Sound Familiar?4

Licenses RequiredHigh licensing costs and number of modules. Maintenance and support costs are excessive

Inflexibility to Market DemandsOur business needs are changing constantly and our applications are incapable of meeting the customer demand rapidly

Scalability Issues Systems do not not adapt to our organization and lack scalability and defined patterns

Unplanned ExpensesOngoing expenditures from customizations, devops and maintenance windows which increases our total cost of ownership

Training ExpensesSpecialized training required for set of applications used for technical and functional teams because you are locked into the pre-defined behavior of the vendor’s application

Enterprise ContinuityWe need our commercially off the shelf (COTS) applications to have a repeatable integration pattern that allows our enterprise to perform required business functions

Gartner Says “by 2020 ‘Cloud Shift’ Will Affect More Than $1 Trillion in IT Spending”

How Cloud First Strategies Will Impact IT Spend6

Shift From Traditional IT Spending to Cloud(Figure 1) The shift from on-premise models to “as a service” is reinforced by looking at how traditional infrastructure will shift to the cloud. Forcing more organizations to adapt their models or get left behind.

Cloud Shift Summary by Market Segment (Table 1) IT spending is continuing to shift from traditional IT to cloud services (cloud shift). Some of the most compelling data in Gartner’s analysis is the aggregate amount of cloud shift in 2016 is estimated to reach $111 billion, increasing to $216 billion in 2020.

Software architecture style composed of small, independent processes

communicating with each other using language-

agnostic APIs

What

• Create functional & technical synergy

• Reduce technical debt • Innovation opportunities • Less COTS application

dependence

Why How

• Private Clouds • Public Clouds • Hybrid Clouds • Government Clouds • Community Clouds

Where

Solution

• 60/40 solution principle • Agile methodologies • Business first approach • Product not project

focus • Continuous delivery

COTS InterfacesWeb Components

Web Components Utilize independent business functions for integration and scale for no more than 20% of business case

COTS and Cloud Provider A minimum of 60% of the business case is

solved by a commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS) application in combination with a cloud

provider such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Compute

20% 60%

Interfaces Create interfaces using web services along with JSON and RESTFUL APIs to limit customizations for no more than 20% of business case

Assessing Cloud Readiness

Assess data sources and governance

Business Solution Architecture How is customer interacting with data?

Understanding their business needs and ensuring business continuity

Technical Solution ArchitectureAssess staffing and technical know how around business processes to determine balance of COTS, web components, interfaces and selection of cloud provider

Business Solution Case- Requirements built around business

functions - Solution created in blocks

- Maps business need to right technology

Choose the Solution(60/40 Rule)Reduces vendor dependence and customizations and allows you to build around your customer’s needs not software’s limitations
