Cloud Strategy

Our Approach BearingPoint's customers choose between three main scenarios to start with cloud computing



Companies ask for the right strategy to move into the cloud

DeliveryModel

10 - 20 %

selective

Public

Hybrid

Private

Scenario: public cloud (selective services)

• Use of various public cloud o�ers for test and development environments

• Use of cloud services in order to compensate peak loads while 80-90 percent of IT remains in current mode without cloud technology

Scenario: private cloud (only)

• Private cloud is seen as an innovation of its own IT

• Adjustment of the entire infrastructure to private cloud

• Changes to ITIL processes and operational processes are consistently implemented

Scenario: hybrid cloud

• Most viable model in the market

• Combines the scaling e�ects of the public cloud scenario with data security and data control of a private cloud

• Cloud brokering has to be configured to fulfill individual governance & security requirements

Our Approach BearingPoint starts to build a private cloud with an as-is analysis based on classic IT assessment associated with private cloud requirements



Quality • Which IT requirements are requested by the business areas and are

to be assessed as reasonable?• How are they implemented? • Do these systems correspond to business units demand?

Security• Does standard market practice comply with current regulation?• Is the security of the systems adequately given (products lifecycle,

patch management, backup, disaster recovery)?• Do the human resources and organizational processes correspond to

safety requirements?

Costs• Are resources and funds being used optimum compliant?• Are already existing synergies optimally utilized?• Is the IT organization set up in order to ensure qualitatively superior

services?• Should services, as well as applications, be o�ered de/centrally?

Technical aspects• How many legacy applications is the enterprise dependent on?• How to reduce operational risks during migration?• What best practices have been identified and can be applied to

cloud projects?

Automation and virtualization• What degree of IT standarization does the enterprise have?• Are tools implemented to deploy a new virtual server or storage

extension automatically?• Is the IT already virtualized and which software is in use for the

administration of the virtual environment?

Processes• How does the business request new systems and applications?• How e�ective are these processes in regard to automation?• Which service management processes are implemented and could

be operated through/by a private cloud environment?

Benefits of BearingPoint‘s Navigator

Sound and unbiased management decision driven by business case not by pre-defined technical solutions

Client benefits from the cloud



ReferencesBearingPoint supported one of the largest European retailers in the evaluation of cloud scenarios for a business critical application (Point of Sale – PoS). The project is focused on technological feasibility, economic analysis as well as business benefits and risks.

Business needs

Business driver:• Need for increased flexibility and cost e�ciency• New alignment with partner agencies planned as

part of a strategic optimization program

Challenges: • Very complex system landscape• High security standards and legal requirements

Operational aim: • Transformation of the PoS system from a

decentralized rich-client-architecture to a centralized architecture

• Check the cloud as an option

Our approach

Identify and analyze transformation scenarios:• Optimize AsIs• IaaS • PaaS • Assessment of technical feasibility, business case

and security requirements• Specification of target scenario in 2nd more

detailed phase• Examine the optimization of all connected

applications and systems, such as SAP and individual applications

• Design and evaluate migration and sourcing scenarios

Client’s results

The first step was to develop a sound basis for a go/no-go-decisions after 3 weeks including:• Scenario evaluation• Business case• Transformation impact• Business benefits & risks

Deeper evaluation within phase for target scenario (here PaaS) as a sound decision basis including: • Technical blueprint/PoC• TCO analysis• Benefits & risks• Migration plan• Sourcing scenarios



ReferencesBusiness needs

• Cost reduction in the IT infrastructure by using new technology (e.g. virtualization)

• Variable use of IT resources based on actual business needs

Challenges: • A lot of applications were developed • Timelines for transition of applications is very short

because of 24 hour productivity

Our approach

• Analysis of applications, architecture and software life cycle

• Business case calculation for each application • Building up migration factory • Concept and controlling of migration/transition

using a standard migration plan• Function, performance and integrations tests with

the acceptance of vendor and business • Transition of software and data to new productivity

equipment before shutting down old equipment after a short parallel operation

Client’s results

• Reduction of ongoing operating costs, up to 40% per application

• Only needed IT infrastructure resources are ordered – pay per use

• Reduced release to production time for servers from 14 days to 1 day

• Harmonization of technical platform standards (HP Hardware with VMware) and standard guidelines for software development

• Foster alignment between IT and business due to increased flexibility and speed
