• 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)

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?

• 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.

• 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.”

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.

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?

Value Streams tell us:
o ‘How’ things are done for a specific stakeholder and scenario
o How different processes fit together to support a stakeholder
o 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?

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 transformation
o Visibility
o Activity Monitoring (BAM)
o Auditing and Reporting

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?

What happens if you want to move to a different Cloud provider?
o Mergers and Acquisitions
o Out of business
o 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!
