Section 1The Cloud. What? Why?

How?


What is the Architecture of the Cloud?


• Everyone has their own opinion• One differentiation is Public, Private, Hybrid• Another is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),

Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS)

• One perspective is that the cloud is a new ‘sourcing’ strategy

• Here’s a more independent view: the National Technical Information Service (NTIS)

Enterprise 3.0 Application Architecture






What Should the Cloud Strategy Be?



To answer this, we first need to answer several other questions.o How does it relate to the business strategy?o What capabilities are involved?o How will it affect stakeholder interactions?o What organizational units will be involved /

affected?o What will the costs / benefits tradeoff be?o How will we prioritize a roadmap and plan?

As an architect, how do we go about answering these questions?




Business Motivation Model



The Business Motivation Model answers key business questions:o Why are we doing this cloud initiative?o How will we know if it’s working?

What is the impact on our decisions with the cloud?

Which tactics can best be implemented where? How will they need to integrate together?

Will the cloud make it more or less difficult to measure success?




Section 2Business Architecture


• 66% of HR and IT organizations develop strategic plans that are not linked to the enterprise strategy.

Sources: the first 2 bullets are derived from The Strategy-to-Execution Process: A Critical Component of Transient Competitive Advantage in the European Business Review on November 7, 2013 and the last bullet is derived from various additional studies made by Towers Watson, Harvard Business Review, and McKinsey & Co.

Today’s Business Disconnects


• 95% of employees in most organizations do not understand their organisation’s strategy

• Only 25% to 30% of business transformation initiatives are successful over the long term

Business architecture is defined as “A blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the organization and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands."

Capabilities and the Cloud



Strategic or Direction Setting (Top)o Provide differentiation or set directiono Reflect executive prioritieso Could you run these in the cloud?o Would you if you could?

– What are the decision criteria?

Supporting (Bottom)o Abilities that an organization must have to function as a

businesso Traditional targets for outsourcingo Cloud is a good alternativeo Why would you not move these to the cloud?

– What are the decision criteria?




Core Capabilities



Value Add, Core (Middle)o The heart of what an enterprise does to ensure viability and

thrive in the marketo Can be thought of as a customer facing view of the business

Which ones are critical to success? How comfortable are we with them in the cloud? Could we

do them better ourselves? How do they have to work together?

o End-to-end value streamso Information integration

What are the implications? How do we make a decision?

Organization/Stakeholder Analysis



The interaction with each stakeholder can be expressed in a value stream. There will usually be several value streams for each stakeholder. Analysis of the stages of a value stream provide insight into the

opportunities for new interactions via the cloud (e.g. mobile devices, social networks) and to evaluate the potential value (internal & external).

Having identified beneficial areas for new interaction, we then identify the new capabilities that we need to support them.

Each affected stage of the value stream may require one or more new capabilities.

Of course, many of these capabilities would be common for multiple value streams and multiple stakeholders.

For each new capability, we could identify different sourcing options. Some capabilities may be available from the cloud, some as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, and others as new or enhanced implementations of existing capabilities.




Organization Maps



How will the cloud affect organization structure? What might a new organization structure look like? What will the political implications be? Do the organizations have the skills to source via the

cloud and manage those apps? How do you avoid silos and redundancies?




Section 6Value Maps


Value Streams Diagram





Value Stages to Capabilities





About Value Streams & Value Stages



Value Streams tell us:o ‘How’ things are done for a specific stakeholder and scenarioo How different processes fit together to support a stakeholdero What information must be shared between processes

‘Stages’ of a value stream require specific capabilities Stages of a value stream may be implemented by processes Value Streams identify capabilities that are critical to the

delivery of value (satisfaction) to our most important stakeholders.

Value Streams tell us the integration requirements of capabilities, processes and information. How does this relate to our decisions about sourcing on the cloud?




Section 7Process Maps


Process Model – Internal Activities






Business Processes in the Cloud



Move entire process to the cloud Source some of the tasks from the cloud What does that mean?

o Loss of control– Collaboration versus Coordination

o Data integration and transformationo Visibilityo Activity Monitoring (BAM)o Auditing and Reporting




Section 8Information Maps


Initiatives Diagram


Enterprise Information Concerns



What is the critical enterprise information? How is that information characterized and classified? What information is critical to efficient end-to-end

integration? What information are you comfortable keeping on the

cloud? What information are you comfortable having under the

control of another business? How much integration / transformation will be required for

consistent and efficient end-to-end interactions? What information semantics do you need to own?

Issues with the Cloud



Availability / Reliability Security Incident Management Accountability Semantics Integration Regulatory Compliance Visibility




Lock-In & Interoperability



What happens if you want to move to a different Cloud provider?o Mergers and Acquisitionso Out of businesso Poor performance (cost, SLA, technical)

Can you move to a new platform?o What level of features / functions have you used?o Is everything assessable through an API?o Are industry standards followed? Do they exist?

What about your data?o Can I get my data out at all?o How much is it going to cost to get my data out?o How much of my time is it going to take to get my data out?

Cloud relationships will come to an end. Have an exit strategy!
