IBM
today announced the
expansion of its Cloud Consulting Services portfolio with a customizable cloud
strategy offering for industry and line of business buyers, extending IBM's
high value portfolio of cloud software and services. The company is also
developing a catalog of fast-start industry solutions delivered as a service
for cloud-based applications.
"Delivering more personalized services to customers with greater speed is a
significant priority for businesses today," said Sanjay Rishi, Managing
Partner, IBM Cloud Consulting Services. "In the era of cloud, the agenda of
front office decision makers places a premium on flexibility and the ability
to experiment. With these new cloud offerings, IBM will help front office
leaders rapidly deploy business content for business value."
To date, the IT industry has primarily focused on "one size fits all"
approaches to migrating workloads and applications to the cloud – scalable
computing purchased on a usage model. This shift extends the value of cloud to
line of business leaders as an engine for growth that can accelerate business
outcomes. In fact, a recent IBM survey reports that during the next three
years, the cloud's strategic importance to top decision makers, from CEOs and
CMOs to HR, finance and procurement executives, is poised to double from 34
percent to 72 percent – surpassing their IT counterparts at 58 percent.
In order to fully realize the benefits of converting to a cloud environment,
enterprises need to build a solid business-based cloud strategy and clear
implementation roadmap. IBM utilizes a proven methodology and assessment tools
tailored to each client's desired business outcomes. For instance, IBM offers
a unique cloud adoption framework and the IBM Cloud Workload Analysis Tool to
analyze an existing environment and determine the cloud computing model best
suited for the business model. Using the tool, IBM consultants help the client
identify and prioritize the business areas and workloads that, when migrated
to a cloud computing model, deliver the most benefit by reducing costs and
improving service delivery.
To further jump-start a client's deployment to the cloud, IBM is developing a
catalog of pre-integrated solutions that address priority business needs
industry by industry, while making cloud easier to adopt and consume for line
of business leaders.
