Cloud Planning & Readiness

From strategy to plan

cloud-planning-readiness

Do you have your cloud strategy ready to hand? Then it’s now time to translate the goals envisaged there into a technically feasible plan, create the operational foundation and build competencies in the cloud environment.

On this page you will find all the important information on how to create a cloud adoption plan and how to get ready for cloud migration, modernization or innovation!

Five steps to the cloud implementation plan

With the cloud introduction, the approach is also changing in many companies: Project teams must increasingly apply agile methods because migration to the cloud requires a certain degree of flexibility. You should consider the following steps when preparing for the cloud transition:

eins

Set cloud planning goals

Determine your baseline in terms of your cloud planning goals and prerequisites, including clarity of objectives, prioritization of workloads, resource availability and skill readiness.

zwei

Define the work packages

Translate strategic goals into work packages & action items to fill your backlog.

drei

Assigning work packages to the right specialists

Determine what resources you need to complete the work packages and action items.

vier

Checking the rationalization decisions

Is the path of migration, further development or innovation the right one? Clarify the requirements and specifications.

fuenf

Time estimation of iterations and release plans

Estimate the time horizons for the various iterations and schedule the various releases.

Cloud readiness: Clarify four questions to be ready

cloud-planning-readiness_02

Take advantage of the Cloud Readiness offer before you start your migration journey. CANCOM has developed a roadmap specifically for this purpose to help you migrate, modernize or further develop your cloud. The following questions are at the heart of this, depending on the focus:

  • Does your staff have expertise to successfully deploy and operate your cloud environment?

  • Have you identified the systems in your IT landscape that are relevant for the migration and aligned them with a future-proof target scenario?

  • Have you deployed a secure zone in your cloud environment where you can move and operate your migrated systems?

  • In addition to operational goals, have you considered financial aspects such as a cost allocation model or budget limits?

No matter what point you are at on your way to the cloud: We support you every step of the way.

What happens in the readiness phase

The readiness phase is about providing a secure, modular and scalable landing zone for your cloud applications and services. As a basis, you use a fact sheet with the results from the planning workshop. With the help of the document, you can compare your IT strategy and governance concept with the current IT situation.

This landing zone meets your governance requirements and creates an operational foundation with hub and spoke networks, firewalls, and security monitoring and alerting, and more.
