The 2 Modes of IT
Marathon Runner – Mode 1• Mission Critical Systems• Conventional Approaches• Stability• Reliability• Low Risk• Slow & Safe
Sprinter – Mode 2• Take Risks / Safe Enough• Agility & embrace change• Remove bureaucracy• Deliver Value Fast• Fail Fast• Aggressive customer focus

Super Charging Mode 2 IT
![Page 10: Super charged prototyping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5880376d1a28abfd0a8b4643/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mode 2 Architects
“As an architect, the cloud offers me new ways to solve problems and opportunities to excite the business and super charge my mode 2 IT teams”

Example 1 – Staff HR Self Service
![Page 12: Super charged prototyping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5880376d1a28abfd0a8b4643/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Challenge
Business Context• Current State
• SAP is the system of record for Staff• Staff do not use SAP the HR system directly,
only HR• SAP changes are difficult and expensive• SAP is complex to train users
• Desired Outcome• Create a Staff Portal system of engagement• Portal should be within SharePoint based
intranet
Technical Challenge• If we host services in the cloud to increase
our agility can we use hybrid integration to connect to services on premise?

Example 2 - Organisational Telemetry
![Page 17: Super charged prototyping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5880376d1a28abfd0a8b4643/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Challenge
Business Context• Find a free PC
• We have 3 locations and 20+ buildings• In these buildings are 5000+ computers• How can a student know where is best to
go to get a PC to use• Drivers
• Positive Student Experience
Business Context 2• How utilised are our Rooms
• We have hundreds of rooms• How do we know how utilised they are• How do we track how energy efficient
they are• Drivers
• Reduce Costs

Example 3 – Simulating Business Processes
![Page 23: Super charged prototyping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5880376d1a28abfd0a8b4643/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Challenge
Business Context• We have an existing business process
which is reliable and has been around for ages
• We need to feedback status to customers quicker or risk losing them to competitors
• We are not 100% sure the business idea will work but we want to try it
Desired Outcome• Minimize risk to existing process• Avoid extensive re-testing or existing
processes (potentially expensive)• Win or fail fast• Use Reference Architecture to evaluate the
impact of the project

Hold on you cant start the next
race yet…..
Challenges of 2 Speed IT• At some point the Marathon Runners need to look after the thing the sprinters built• Sprinters become too externally customer focused and lose sight of IT Strategy or IT Operations• Sprinters make significant stealth architecture changes• Can the organisation really afford 2 IT departments? We need to be able to do sprint projects
within an organisational journey

Disconnected 2 Speed IT
?????
Its ok we will use DevOps and it will all be fine

Embracing the Cloud
I have a platform with loads of
features to help me build awesome
Apps
I’m comfortable we can govern
solutions because Azure is core to our architecture
Many of our solutions use Azure
so I have lots of reusable
troubleshooting skills
Managing Azure is
Business as Usual
We get great visibility of our
actual costs and have enterprise
agreements
