Cloud Strategy Services—Mapping Your Next Step to the Cloud

Do you have a cloud roadmap?

Enterprise IT is undergoing a fundamental transformation with more and more enterprise technology moving from an enterprise's own infrastructure and platforms to the cloud. The shift has accelerated as the current economic environment has forced enterprises to look for ways to do more with less.  Large enterprises such as Flextronics, Dolby, and Japan Post have led the way to the cloud and realized quantifiable cost savings and rapid-time-to-value, while delivering innovation that drives business growth.

Most CIOs and IT teams are investigating the business case for cloud computing; some have completed cloud proofs of concept. Now, CIOs are looking for the right next step to the cloud for their organizations.  However, cloud computing is a new model for consuming and delivering IT, and therefore raises some new questions.

These questions can be summed up in one big question "What is our Cloud Strategy?"

Appirio Cloud Strategy Services

Appirio brings clarity to cloud computing with three types of cloud strategy services:

1. Cloud Orientation Workshop: A concentrated workshop for IT and business leaders to help build a shared understanding of cloud platforms, the cloud ecosystem, and to identify areas where the cloud can deliver the greatest impact.
2. Cloud Prototype and Business Case: A 2 to 4 week project to help IT leaders quickly build a detailed, concrete plan and prototype a single application to be developed on or migrated to the cloud.
3. Cloud Roadmap and Business Case: A 4 to 6 week project to help IT leaders envision a cloud-based IT strategy and architecture, demonstrate the business case for cloud computing and develop a coherent and comprehensive roadmap to successfully transition their application and infrastructure portfolios to the cloud.
