This document discusses lessons learned from an early multi-cloud journey. It highlights how IT can become more agile and strategic to enable business growth through an IT as a service model and moving to the cloud. Key lessons include standardizing, automating and scaling cloud services; developing a flexible private cloud platform; adopting a holistic multi-cloud orchestration approach; and updating processes and culture to embrace failures as part of innovation. The goal is to deliver an "IT vending machine experience" and become a cloud brokerage service.
8. IT as a Service The Path to Increased Value“You never change things by
fighting the existing reality.
To change something,
build a new model
that makes the existing model
obsolete”
(R. Buckminster Fuller)
9. “The Real Voyage of Discovery
Consists Not
in Seeking New Landscapes,
but in
Having New Eyes”
(Marcel Proust)

11. The ITaaS Journey – Best Execution Venue for Cloud Brokerage
Through 2018,
the biggest inhibitor
to internal CSB success
will be
organizational and
business process challenges,
not technology

Coca-Cola says that it's cleaning house on the
IT front as part of its five-year, $3 billion
productivity push announced in 2014. It tells
analysts at its conference that it had 1,450 IT
applications in 2014. But it expects to
"sunset" 600 IT applications and move another
425 applications to the cloud.
ITaaS and the Cloud Continuum…
“However beautiful the Strategy,
you should occasionally
look at the Results”
Winston Churchill
17. Delivering an
”IT vending machine experience”
will require IT departments to
become
Service Brokers
(451 Research)
18. • Cloud Service Management is still evolving…
• Cloud enables ITaaS, ITaaS is about transformation
• Server Provisioning/Mgmt. ≠ Service Provisioning/Mgmt.
• Software-Defined and Automation are key, but not sufficient
• Orchestration is as important as Choreography
• It “takes a village” to be a Services Broker
• Develop a Holistic Mind-Set, Technology is just one dimension
Lessons Learned…

• Build a Failure-Tolerant Culture-Set, or the Art of the Pivot
Lessons Learned [cont.]
“If you take risks, you may fail.
But if you don't take risks,
you will surely fail.
The greatest risk of all
is to do nothing”
