2 The Approach
Readiness: Prepare for Service Automation Achieving the End-state Requires Significant Transformation Enterprise IT PEOPLE Organizational silos of Infrastructure (compute, storage, network) Application & management Security Cloud-based roles and org Workload centric resource models (e.g., e-mail) Co-sourced staff Cloud Little infrastructure automation Automation & self service PROCESS Services allocated to LOB or application owner ITIL-based services frameworks loosely applied Consumption-based charge-back models Mature service framework to manage service-centric model Complex Pervasive virtualization TECHNOLOGY Expensive Inflexible Converged architecture Federated workloads Siloed Pools of resources 3
Speed and Agility Lead to Increased Revenue Time to market is paramount Reduce or Eliminate Labor Based Provisioning of Infrastructure Application backlog is unrealized revenue opportunity New cloud application and infrastructure models accelerate time to deployment Windows of opportunity open and close quickly SAP Cloud Service removes obstacles to establishing early market response Fail faster to win Experiment in the marketplace to validate opportunities and clarify requirements Adapted from Tom Bittman, Gartner 4
