In addition to the Cloud Maturity Model (CMM), the ODCA team have been working on a practical framework to guide implementation of the CMM, and to guide organisations with actions to achieve an increased cloud maturity level based on the increased business benefits that the increased levels should offer. This session will explore the capability areas, and a framework of actions (and resulting artefacts) leading between the various CMM levels.

4. EXPLANATION OF UPDATED MATURITY MODEL
• Original ODCA Cloud Maturity Model v1.0 represented a Cloud Adoption Roadmap
• End-to-end visualization how cloud typically deploys in the enterprise over time
• As enterprises mature, the use of cloud becomes more sophisticated, comprehensive, and optimized
• The Cloud Maturity Model v2.0 represents an enterprise’s ability to sustainably adopt cloud
based services within defined technical, governance and control parameters
• Enables assessment of current and target maturity levels, within various capability areas:
• Architecture
• Infrastructure
• Information
• Operations
• Administration
• Management
• It guides investments per “capability” to mature from one tier to the next
• It describes five progressive tiers of maturity towards adopting Cloud Services deeply, and defining your
future target state

Potential for

Awareness of Cloud
computing is
established and
some groups are
beginning to
implement
elements of Cloud
Computing. There
is no cohesive
Cloud Computing
plan being followed
Approach has been
decided upon and is
opportunistically
applied. The
approach is not
widely accepted and
redundant or
overlapping
approaches exist.
May be informally
defined, or if
documented, may
exist primarily as
“shelf ware”.
Initial Benefits of
leveraged
infrastructure.
(Capability gains)
The approach has
been reviewed and
accepted by
affected parties.
There has been
buy-in to the
documented
approach and the
approach is always
(or nearly always)
followed
(Efficiency and
Agility gains)
The capability is
being measured
and quantitatively
managed via some
type of governance
structure.
Appropriate metrics
are being gathered
and reported
(Increased
Velocity,
Increased
Quality)
Metrics are consistently
gathered and used to
incrementally improve
the capability. Assets
are proactively
maintained to ensure
relevance and
correctness. The
potential for market
mechanisms to be used
to leverage inter-cloud
operations has been
established
(Cloud based
systems aligned to
and enabling
Business Strategy,
pro-actively)

There is no Cloud
approach being
taken. No elements
of Cloud are being
implemented
Note: Capability, Efficiency, Velocity & Quality and Agility start on the far left, with continual increase to the right, as higher levels of implementation are achieved, as described within the columns

6. BUSINESS LEVEL CAPABILITIES
• Governance & Strategy – Contains capabilities including things as business motivation, expected
benefits, guiding principles, expected costs, funding model, etc. Capabilities such as service selection
and service level agreements gain relevance in Cloud initiatives as well. The Governance part contains
capabilities concerning the governance structures and processes that support and guide the cloud
efforts. These include policy management, risk management, and auditing capabilities. Maturity and
adoption of adequate governance is a leading indicator of the overall success of a Cloud Computing
strategy.
• Organization – Contains capabilities concerning the development of organizational competency around
Cloud Computing including the organizational structure and skills development, as well as executive
sponsorship and organizational authority.
• Projects & Skills - Contains capabilities concerning the planning and building of cloud services, and
management of the portfolio of services.
• Portfolios & Services – Contains delivered offerings and formalised post deployment aspects of cloud
services i.e. the Operations, Administration, and Management aspects of the cloud environment. This
includes capabilities for the delivery of self-service functions, and change management
6

7. TECHNOLOGY LEVEL CAPABILITIES
• Architecture – Contains capabilities concerning the definitions of the overall architecture and
guidelines for various practitioners to ensure adherence to the architecture. Capabilities fundamental
to cloud architectures, such as resource pooling, interoperability, and self service are considered in
the model.
• Infrastructure – Contains capabilities concerning the service infrastructure and tools that provide
the technical foundation for the Cloud initiative. Shared services, provisioning, and model packaging
are particularly important in cloud infrastructure.
• Information – Contains capabilities concerning the information aspects of Cloud, such as data
management, metadata, customer entitlements, data durability and controls for securing data.
• Operations, Administration & Governance – Contains capabilities concerning the post deployment
aspects of cloud service i.e. the Operations, Administration, and Management aspects of the cloud
environment. This includes capabilities for the delivery of self-service functions, and change
management.

9. EXERCISE: CLOUD MATURITY SELF-ANALYSIS
 Perform a (self) assessment on the current status per key capability area
 Identify what benefits a change to that status, in that capability area, should
bring to the company
 Identify the appropriate action/s and the targeted result/s
Then on your own later:
 List and perform the action/s to achieve the desired capability levels (people, process &
tooling levels)
 Audit the control set arising out of the action for the target state (as per an auditors common
approach)
 Monitor your Cloud based KPI’s for improved benefits results.

10. EXAMPLE ANALYSIS
 Represent Business &
Technical status’s against
target
 Identify target investment
areas
 Determine / Measure
resulting benefits
realisation, & KPI’s
 One line analysis is easy
with a single group, vs
Whole Maturity and asking
the same question and its’
sub-sets to multiple
groups!!! CMM 5

11. KEY TAKE-AWAYS FROM THIS UM
Use the CMM to analyze your Cloud Adoption
Use the CMM to plan your Cloud Investments
Use the CMM to evaluate Cloud Offerings
Use the CMM to plan & define your future state

12. SUMMARY: IMPACT & NEXT STEPS
Impact
• Understand CMM Maturity and Progression
• Moving Up: Everyone does NOT have to target CMM Level 5 – pick what’s right
for you in each capability area
• The next Cloud Model: Private vs Hybrid vs. Public – the next generation is right
around the corner
• Business Layer – the biggest challenges to adopting cloud are NOT technical
Actions
• Use the CMM to to assess, understand and support your cloud strategy, towards
achieving your Business Objectives
• Private vs Hybrid vs. Public: Review and validate current assumptions about
cloud and which challenges to select and face
