Gregor Hohpe - Cloud Strategist A Resource for IT Decision Makers Enterprise Architects: define and share a balanced cloud strategy Cloud Architects: evaluate cloud architecture trade-offs IT Executives: harvest the full benefits of cloud platforms Business Executives: align organization and technology Deep insight in clear language Connect business and IT with a cohesive strategy, not buzzwords Having seen the technology business from almost every possible angle, I found one thing in common: the giant gap between high-level “strategic” buzzwords and the actual implementation. Sure, you want your business to be digital and agile, but what technologies will get you there? And what organizational changes are needed to realize the technologies' potential? Rather than propose simplistic recipes, my books provide the reader with mental models to find the best strategy for their organization. Mental models instead of simplistic recipes Connecting dots instead of spewing buzzwords Actual experience instead of grand visions Deep insight in an approachable format Cloud Strategy: Transformation, Organization, Architecture, Economics The cloud turns your organization sideways Traditional IT maintains a strict separation between infrastructure and application teams: whereas application teams delight customers with functionality, infrastructure teams procure hardware, assure reliable operations, and protect IT assets. The frequent quarrels between the respective teams might hint that maybe not everything is perfect in this setup. Retain / Re-Skill / Replace / Retire When IT leaders and architects speak about cloud migrations, they usually refer to migrating applications out of their data center. However, a perhaps even bigger challenge is how to migrate your workforce to embrace the cloud operating model and work efficiently in the new environment. Don’t Build an Enterprise Non-Cloud! Many enterprises that moved to the cloud have found that not all of their expectations have been met, or at least not as quickly as they would have liked. Although an unclear strategy or inflated expectations can be culprits, in many cases the problems lie closer to home. The migration journey deprived the enterprise of exactly those great properties that the cloud was going to bring them. Cloud Savings Have to Be Earned Many cloud initiatives are motivated, and justified, by cost savings. Cost is always a good argument, particularly in traditional organizations, which still view IT as a cost center. And although lower cost is always welcome, once again things aren’t that simple. It’s time to take a closer look at reducing your infrastructure bill.
