  2. 2012 – Cloud comes of age? The year ‘everyone’ got the ‘cloud’….. Benefits Efficiencies Cost Savings ….was the year it became a dirty word.

  3. Data Centers are go! 25% 60% 50% 80% Of all applications run in 2 or more data centers The rate of data growth per year Of current workloads are being processed in data centers A significant proportion of the average organisations IT budget is allocated solely to data center operations (excluding software)

  4. Are we there yet?

  5. How has IT helped me? 47% 60% 84% 78% Have no single unified management platform for their virtualisation/cloud platform Of businesses feel that virtualisation/cloud has not delivered on its key promises Of businesses make technology/cloud decisions without getting IT involved Of businesses feel that their IT strategy isn’t under control

  6. The new customer The Mobile Computing era 3 Core Elements : Mobile, Social, Cloud Changed more than the way we consume music High Street shelves less important than digital shelves Can do, Need to, Right now The ‘power’ has shifted from IT, to user

  7. Is it any wonder? End users in the business see little, or no benefit of virtualisation or cloud “Endless approval forms and processes” “IT still says no” “Why do things take so long?” “We try our best to avoid IT and procurement because of the hassle” They want a frictionless experience

  8. Why?

  9. What’s the hold up? The technology exists You could automate IT You could adopt new controls You could adopt new technology You could do things faster You could do things simpler You will remain in business

  10. Integrate this!

  11. IT perception – this is difficult! What do we do with the legacy software suites we’ve acquired? Consulting costs will be very high We have to rip and replace the kit and processes Our perpetual licenses don’t work in the cloud Our partners are competing with each other Do we build it ourselves or use someone else’s? The business case is weak

  12. Silo Processes Very little integration today between technology and processes Different management consoles, managed by different teams/groups Many authority levels across the business Little automation between technologies

  13. Rip and Replace is not compatible Business needs to evolve existing processes into cloud Not bin them Most new clouds are bolt on services to existing business Forces virtualisation and cloud to play a part at the edge of the business, not at it’s heart
