Strategy Planning Phase
In this, we analyze the strategy problems that customer might face. There are two steps to perform this analysis:
- Cloud Computing Value Proposition
- Cloud Computing Strategy Planning
In this, we analyze the factors influencing the customers when applying cloud computing mode and target the key problems they wish to solve. These key factors are:
- IT management simplification
- operation and maintenance cost reduction
- business mode innovation
- low cost outsourcing hosting
- high service quality outsourcing hosting.
CLOUD COMPUTING STRATEGY PLANNING
The strategy establishment is based on the analysis result of the above step. In this step, a strategy document is prepared according to the conditions a customer might face when applying cloud computing mode.
Cloud Computing Tactics Planning Phase
This step performs analysis of problems and risks in the cloud application to ensure the customers that the cloud computing successfully meet their business goals. This phase involves the following planning steps:
- Business Architecture Development
- IT Architecture development
- Requirements on Quality of Service Development
- Transformation Plan development
BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT
In this step, we recognize the risks that might be caused by cloud computing application from a business perspective.
IT ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT
In this step, we identify the applications that support the business processes and the technologies required to support enterprise applications and data systems.
REQUIREMENTS ON QUALITY OF SERVICE DEVELOPMENT
Quality of Service refers to the non-functional requirements such as reliability, security, disaster recovery, etc. The success of applying cloud computing mode depends on these non-functional factors.
TRANSFORMATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT
In this step, we formulate all kinds of plans that are required to transform current business to cloud computing modes.
