Cloud Readiness: A credit card is enough. Nothing more is needed to buy new cloud services – even for corporate purposes. When using cloud services, the focus is on agility. As a rule, the procurers are unaware that an entire IT system landscape can fall apart, and a new form of “shadow IT” is created. The call for an overarching cloud strategy by companies is, therefore, no coincidence. Because of course, the departments should be able to use all solutions – if they offer added value – and thus secure the company’s competitiveness. But not at the price of an IT landscape that is difficult to control and the compliance problems that arise.
Therefore, companies should think about which applications and workloads they should move to the cloud and why. It is also important to develop a procedure that is as standardized as possible as to how potential “cloud candidates” (= applications and workloads) can be identified in the company’s application and infrastructure landscape and checked for their “cloud operability.”
Before the widespread introduction of cloud services, it makes sense to carry out a position assessment to see how far the company is already prepared for the introduction of cloud services. This also makes sense if the first SaaS solutions (such as Office 365 or Salesforce) are already used. This assessment then also serves to identify strengths and weaknesses and to derive recommendations for action. Five criteria should be checked here:
As a rule, companies do not yet have sufficient internal know-how to assess cloud readiness and develop and expand it. Vendor and manufacturer-neutral cloud readiness assessments and best practices as a benchmark can help identify and eradicate the “blind spots.”
