The document provides an overview of cloud computing concepts and benefits, and discusses best practices for developing a cloud strategy and roadmap. It outlines key steps such as analyzing workloads to determine cloud suitability, assessing infrastructure readiness, and developing a phased approach. Lessons learned emphasize the importance of standardization, starting small, transparency of costs, and network readiness for enabling cloud services.
5. Seismic Shifts: What the Industrial Revolution has to do with the Evolution of Modern IT Industrial Revolution – no single event , but an evolution of events and inventions over many decades Standardized processes in product manufacturing brought about significant changes in labour Cloud is the “Spinning Jenny” or “Watt’s Steam Engine” of its time: an essential part to the history of IT, but only a part of a much wider narrative How this narrative will play out over the next decade really is anyone’s guess There will be winners and losers In just the last decade, we’ve moved from static websites and slow internet modem dial-up to $$$Bn e-commerce, pervasive mobile and “tweeting” the world! In the next decade , we may have witnessed a dramatic transformation in the way IT is bought / consumed, to a highly flexible, pay-as-you-go, standardised model. All bets are off !

24. How we would develop a cloud computing strategy and plan 1 Pre-workshop call Client and IBM have a pre-workshop conference call to review engagement details and logistics and to begin the workshop scheduling process. IBM provides a pre-workshop data collection template. 1 – 2 weeks elapsed time 2 Data collection Client provides IBM with pre-workshop background material 3 Workshop preparation IBM prepares workshop materials based upon client-provided information. 1 week elapsed time 4 Client executive workshop IBM facilitators and client IT leadership members participate in a 2-day structured workshop. The 2-day client executive workshop is the key step within this strategy and planning engagement. 1 – 2 weeks elapsed time 5 Data analysis IBM conducts analysis of information gathered in the workshop and creates a final report presentation. 6 Client presentation IBM conducts analysis of information gathered in the workshop and creates a final report presentation. 7 Next steps
