TUNI: Business-driven Cloud Adoption
- 1. Business-driven cloud adoption 19.4.2023 | Tampere University Large Scale Software Design Hybrid event | Recording available
- 2. Dr. Tero Peltola Cloud Advisor tero.peltola@solita.fi
- 3. We create value from data in a connected world. Our aim is to create lasting impact by: Utilizing data and IT Combining them with human insight Cooperating with our tech partners Growth per annum approx. 20% Turnover in 2022 200+M Founded in 1996 1600+ employees 6 countries 20+ cities Software development Strategy Data Design Cloud Connectivity
- 4. Trained / Certified experts 80+ Invested in learning 2000+ hours Invested in Product and Service Development 400 000+ Solita Cloud in numbers (2022) Countries operated in 6 170 Customers 50+ blogs posted Continuous Services: represents 40% of our turnover
- 5. Introductions Summary Notes on cloud adoption Practices and processes Connecting Business drives to technical upgrade 1. 2. 3. 4. Agenda 5.
- 6. Focus to holistic management: Most complex part is managing dependencies, stakeholders and schedules. Lead the transformation. Communicate. Set the vantage point to application perspective instead of server perspective. Applications are business enablers. Automate everything. Build Infra as a Code based solutions and have them in version control. Utilize support from cloud vendor(s) & MSPs Engage your management. Migration benefits from controlled cloud adoption in all levels Close cooperation leads to best results. Ensure having relevant combination of competence: business, project management, cloud, tech, database. Focus areas
- 7. Reality touchpoint We have supported dozens of our customers in their cloud adoption projects from variety of industries such as financial, telecom, transportation, and retail. Over 100 migrations. Our customers are mainly enterprises and public sector. Not all our references are public
- 8. Notes on cloud adoption
- 10. Over the valley of death Expectations
- 12. Some of the typical beginnings of cloud journey Organic adoption Reluctant acceptance Miscalculations Business Case
- 13. Some of the typical ends of cloud adoption Success Failure Something between Project success is not necessary mean organizational success, or vice versa Korhonen et al. (2023), How performance measurement can support achieving success in project-based operations Project Organizational Failure/failure Success/success
- 15. Cloud adoption & value co-creation Successful cloud transformation includes typically Collaboration Evaluation of maturity Cloud governance Connection to business case Meri旦 (2022), Maturity assessment value creation in the deployment of cloud computing
- 16. Brief history of migrations World of Migrations Re-<X> From a business perspective, a good migration dont affect business continuity From a technical perspective, majority of the migrations are Lift&Shifts Benefits based on cloud technologies when L&S? many of those remain hidden. Such as cloud-native solutions. *Not in scale
- 17. Reasoning for cloud adoption DevOps Mindset, culture, ways of working Maximal automation, APIs Global Presence Ability to serve Customers and users everywhere easily is built in. Mobile & Web Scalability, global reach Ready building blocks Datawarehouse & Analytics Extracting value from data Dev/Test Environments Start/Stop, Scale up/down Clone, redeploy Developer autonomy Disaster Recovery Minimal costs during normal times - ramp up & scale out if things hit the fan. Cost Transparency Granular visibility to costs Enforce ownership Data Center Alternatives Option for discontinuities. Align with apps lifecycle TRANSFORMATIONAL OPPORTUNISTIC * Adapted from Gartner How to Build a Business Case for Migrating to Public Cloud IaaS (2022) New Infrastructure needs No heavy initial investments Scalability IoT Value creation based on sensor data
- 18. Observations Awareness about possibilities is limited Cost reductions are typically on the table Security concerns Shared responsibility model not well-known Geolocation of data Cloud operation model plays crucial role Organizational structure, processes & procedures
- 20. A Migrate and improve Assessment Design, build and modernize Identify business value and metrics as well as cost estimates Identify migration readiness of organization Identify application posture, dependencies, and cloud fit Design and create cloud infrastructure for applications Implement planned cloud-fitting of applications Detailed migration project plan and strategy of each application Migration waves of applications, with lean communication. Identify obstacles: contractual, licencing, regulatory, security Clarify responsibilities in migration and in operation Operate, optimize and modernize to accelerate business benefits Establish and evaluate metrics, to prove business value promises Migration Competence Office CCoE Business units Platform engineering Partners Owns the process. Collects common practices, tools, metrics, policies (Program level leadership of migrations)
- 21. Application portfolio management Application portfolio Rationalize ~20-30% ~50% ~20-30% To cloud Modernize Replace by SaaS Retire Rehost - Lift and Shift Replatform - Lift- reshape-Shift Refactor Rebuild Retain in data center ~X % Focus on transform! True value is here
- 22. Connecting Business drives to technical upgrade
- 23. Two dimensions of cloud adoption Strategic dimension long-term perceived returns, not focusing only on tangible financial benefits. Application level dimension short-term target, decisionpoint align with application lifecycle. The battle between short-term costs and long-term TCO is always in cloud migration business cases.

- 25. Holistic perspective to business-driven cloud adoption Migration to cloud is more than just technical upgrade. There are more dimensions. Exploring towards expected benefits require holistic perspective and change management. Systematic process in cloud journey will guide towards the impact that lasts. Cloud Discovery Puzzle
- 26. Maturity model in practice Each topic on Cloud Discovery Puzzle is addressed with 4 yes/no questions (36 questions totally) Implications of the results : Talented people but they are lacking of guidance (Vision) and organizational structure that support them in cloud utilization. Innovation is not addressed the same way across divisions (variance not shown in the graph)
- 27. Cloud transformation will deliver value across several dimensions Non-technical: Increased agility is considered* to be one of the main enabler for multifaceted benefits. Technical: IaC tools increase repeatability, automation, security management, disaster recovery. Better SLA. Business: Operator for lifecycle services can be changed. Cloud transformation enables new digital capabilities that should open new business capabilities. Application modernizations. Maintenance of microservices can be separated. * Adapted from re:Invent 2022
- 28. Focus to holistic management: Most complex part is managing dependencies, stakeholders and schedules. Lead the transformation. Communicate. Set the vantage point to application perspective instead of server perspective. Applications are business enablers. Automate everything.
