The Multi-Cloud Approach Lessons Learned and Considerations for your Multi or Hybrid Cloud Project Copyright 2017 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Integrated Multi Cloud Management solution 19

Key Considerations to Take Away Consider the following points as the enterprise moves toward the implementation of cloud services in support of their mission Technology Considerations Understand how new cloud technology will integrate with current architectures and environments Evaluate current technology skillsets and capabilities of current staff and contracts and map proposed technology skillsets where they most appropriately align Evaluate the implications of the cloud platform options Perform IT landscape assessment and risk framework impact The integration of core infrastructure services and providers is critical to automation planning and design efforts Organizational Considerations Understand the Pain Points for 1) The IT service organization 2) The consumers of the services Align to/develop common enterprise framework and taxonomy for cloud service consumption and reporting Build stakeholder consensus across organization through Proof of Concept and Demos of real-life solution Build credibility through incremental enhancement of foundational services start simple and add complexity over time Copyright 2017 Deloitte Development LLC.
