Your cloud strategy is a key element in your transforma-tion into a customer-centric digital business. Software AG and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working together to simplify your cloud adop-tion in three important steps.

To open new avenues for innovation in the digital business age, your enterprise needs to tap into on-demand cloud resources for faster time-to-market and elasticity. The biggest challenges you’ll face: the complexity of your current business and IT architectures, lack of transparency, and security and compliance concerns.

Software AG and AWS can help you manage your business and IT transformation so your enterprise gains maximum value from the cloud. We’ll assure your business and IT orga-nizations work closely together to:

• Manage critical integration points and leverage all opportunities for efficiency and effective-ness

• Plan and execute a cloud strategy using a reliable, complete and high-quality inventory of your process and IT landscape, thanks to collaboration across stakeholders

We can help you identify and implement your optimal cloud adoption strategy and architec-ture in three steps:

1. Analyze and planTo gain maximum value from cloud tech-nologies, you need to identify the business capabilities that will benefit most from cloud applications or Hybrid Cloud Integration (HCI), and determine which applications are the best candidates for cloud deployment. To this end, Business Process Analysis (BPA) and IT planning and portfolio management facilitate

transitioning business processes to the cloud and identifying IT assets that can make the most of the cloud in terms of ease of access, cost, compliance and security.

Plan and manage the complexity of your cloud adoption using a joint approach that works for business and IT. Using the best tools on the market, ARIS Cloud and Alfabet Cloud hosted on AWS, you can design an optimal hybrid IT architecture and deploy suitable processes, domains, systems and applications on the AWS cloud.

ARIS Cloud is a full-scale BPA-as-a-Service, powering collaborative process improvement projects around the globe. You can subscribe to ARIS Cloud to collaboratively design, analyze, share and improve processes within minutes.

Alfabet Cloud helps you assess and plan your IT transformation in the cloud. It delivers a framework that contains a KPI-based, step-by-step approach to determining application cloud-readiness. With Alfabet Cloud, you take into consideration factors like cost, business acceptance, compliance requirements, data security aspects and technical fit to assess if an application is a “good” cloud candidate or not. As a collaboration platform for planning, the tool connects the many different and widely distributed stakeholders contributing to the assessment, using a common set of terms and definitions, and fostering a common ap-proach. This eliminates any disconnection.
