26. Clouds Put IT Spending Back in Balance
Conventional IT model front-loads
capital spending on infrastructure
– Debt service and depreciation charges
persist despite business contractions
– Future capacity must either be bought in advance,
or added later at higher cost with substantial
business disruption
The cloud enables preparation for upturn
– New systems can be built and tested with negligible
up-front investment
– Resulting systems can be rapidly scaled to respond to
improving conditions
– "It has been our repeated experience that business
uncertainty is inevitably accompanied by opportunity“
(Jack Welch, Letter to GE Shareholders, 1997)
27. Clouds Put IT Spending Back in Balance
Don’t think of the cloud as technology
• Virtualization
• Metadata customization
• Multi-tenancy
• 4G wireless
• SOA
– These are enablers, not guarantors
Think of the cloud as a commitment
– Negligible up-front capital
– Alignment of cost with value
– Maximal stakeholder engagement
28. Best Practices and Pitfalls
• Adopting the Cloud does not mean starting over
• Retain what’s working: innovate and add value at Web speed
• Don’t settle for the least unsatisfactory solution:
treat the Cloud as a supermarket of services
• Preserving familiar pain is not a measure of success
• Moving existing complexity into the Cloud avoids short-term pain
• Mastering new developer models is a high-return investment
• Don’t apologize for doing what made sense two years ago
• Bandwidth has grown
• Customizability has grown
• Costs of doing things the old way are skyrocketing
• Don’t mistake the consumer Web for the enterprise cloud
• Expect high availability; robust security; deep customizability
• Demand clear commitments on data ownership and protection
