Cloud “feels” like IT plumbing, very tactical. . . • Impact on my overall strategy? • 4. What about Cloud’s risks and “hidden costs”? • 5. Cloud economics: What’s the business case for Cloud?

  3. 1. Why Cloud? Industry changes mean that Banking & Financial Markets Executives need agility to drive growth and profitability Turbulent global conditions are affecting revenue and reducing demand for services. Rebuilding customer trust and marketplace confidence is critical to future growth. Competition is intensifying with M&A, divestitures, and non-traditional entrants Radically increased oversight is driving investment in risk management technology. $ Mature and emerging market segments are focus on optimizing use of capital. Clients have rapidly evolving expectations for offerings and services. Cloud helps address The Boardroom Paradox: “How do we cut costs today, while still investing in future growth?”

  4. Changing Cloud economics: It’s more than just cost savings…Improving Business Agility, too. What is Your Organization’s Level of Cloud Adoption? % of Respondents 91% Piloting 72% Adopting SubstantiallyImplemented +215% Source: IBM/The Economist Cloud-enabled Business Model Survey of 572 leaders

  5. 2. “Hype” vs. realities: Common “hype” About Cloud Computing Cheap Cloud: • Rent vs. own computing • Drives growth while saving money Easy Turnkey Completely Flexible Fast results . . . . . . Can be true – IF you set it up that way 5

  6. Cloud realities: Forward-thinking companies view Cloud as a force that will impact their business models Strategy: Expect significant increase in substantial change resulting from cloud: 13% 41% Customers: Expect to reinvent their customer value propositions with cloud: 10% 29% Business Value: Expect to create / transform value chain through cloud: 16% 43% Transformation: Shift focus to driving substantial impact on customer relationships: 14% 57% *Source: Institute for Business Value / The Economist

  7. Cloud realities: Cloud is already solving many of today’s typical Enterprise challenges • Maintenance accounts for over 70% of the IT budget • Annual operational costs (power, cooling, and management) exceed their acquisition cost by 2-3X • 10 weeks: The mean time to deliver a • new (or expanded) IT Service from • the time of request. Nearly 40% take • more than 90 days. • 2/3’s of companies miss their original • project/solution deployments.

  19. Cloud risks and “hidden costs”: Migration & Applications are ImportantCloud Application Modernization requires a factory model for migration/modernization of applications to Cloud. . . Step 1: How to get there Step 3: Tool Output Strategy Design, Development and Integration Migration / Deployment N-Tier loosely coupled architecture Open standards based (JEE) WebServices with SOAP protocols Data communications through standard protocols (JDBC/ODBC) Remedy latest version capable of running on Cloud / Virtualized Platform Rebuild candidates Migration candidates Migrate Analysis / Implementation Planning Transformation candidates Design Transform Deploy Cloud Deploy Models Step 2: Tools • An analytical approach to decide on “cloudability” and “API”s for modernization of applications: Migrate / Transform / Rebuild • Tools to conduct analysis: Cloud Transformation Tool, Workload Analysis Tool • Methods, processes and tools - allowing the scale of mass migration • A control model for approaching cloud elasticity Cloud Transformation Tool Workload Analysis Tool

  20. Growth: How to reduce time to market for new products, services & segments. . .while also reducing Cost/Income ratio? Efficiency: How to reduce IT maintenance costs (~70% of total IT spend) while accelerating new solution development results? How to reduce infrastructure duplication? How to simplify products and processes? Resilience: How to build an evolutionary architectural framework that induces control and supports growth over the next ten years? Regulation: How to efficiently adapt to regulatory-driven change? Mobile & “Big Data” Analytics Innovation: How to differentiate? How to create a customer-centric view? Lack of Compelling Event More pressing uses of capital Difficult Business case ROI is not sufficient to justify the risk and cannot be realized quickly enough Time-to-Market improvement is not sufficient to justify Business Case Business Case relies on anticipated revenue growth projections rather than “hard” cost reductions Transformation Risk Underdeveloped Business Transformation Roadmap Inexperience with complex projects Risk to Reputation 5.
