Enterprise-level Cloud Transformation

The need for complex cloud solutions is rapidly increasing, while the market is ready to introduce not just new products, but also numerous variations based on tiers, sizes, and the number of licenses. With a variety of choices, enterprises today still require specific processes to handle volumes, which means continuous dependencies on vendors and system maintenance.

High volume processing on public cloud becomes too expensive due to licensing costs. It is a direct consequence of public cloud optimization towards economies of scale, where public cloud is designed to provide computing for a large number of small/medium businesses, not to very few large ones. At high volumes, licensing costs can offset operational costs. Enterprises today require immediate cloud transformation as well as the right vendor with knowledge, hands-on experience and a profound understanding of enterprise-level cloud optimization.

Cloud Enterprise Challenges

Fragmented IT landscape and layers of legacy architecture lead to system decentralization and lack of process control

Lack of long-term support for deployed solutions leads to continuous need of maintenance and process re-engineering

Lack of standard “production-release process” support leads to an increase in production and “go live” time

Often cloud vendors without specific industry focus lack a clear vision of process optimization and build up a system which does not work

Outdated system and workflow processes lead to continuous enterprise stagnation, resulting in losing market positions

Excelacom Methodology and Approach

Transformation projects are the most software-intensive engineering projects. They require core competencies and a clear understanding of how software is designed, built, tested and maintained.

Provide methodology to model requirements, capabilities, user stories, and journeys

  • Understand functional dependencies
  • Establish implementation sequence
  • Provide foundation for work-breakdown structure
  • Manage scope
  • Manage ratio between “software depth reduction” and “new feature development”

Establish communication processes and update journey

  • Set the communication process and update schedule
  • Develop cross-team relationships and transparent reporting practices

Establish a branching strategy for implementation of artifacts

  • Method to reduce merge conflicts between code branches
  • Pro-active code quality monitoring process; both automated and manual
  • Provide robust versioning strategy and granularity for software components

Establish a DevOps process

  • Fully automated build and deploy process
  • Provide specific requirements for staging environments
  • DevOps operational reports for visibility
  • Security processes to handle regulatory or internal governance policies
  • Provide tracking for all manual interventions

Establish Interface-First design process

  • Interface coverage model
  • Data flow model across module interfaces
  • Interface versioning process and model
  • UX Prototype-First model

Provide testing methodology

  • Matrices for testing code coverage
  • Mock-up processes and tooling for as-is environment
  • Test case management harness for managing test case suites, testing dependencies
  • Matrices to manage test cases

Provide tooling and processes to generate effective testing data samples

  • Synthetic
  • Based on production data sets (i.e., anonymized, fuzzied)

Establish collaboration toolsets and processes for distributed development

  • Ability to support onshore, near-shore, and offshore development teams across multiple time zones
  • Knowledge sharing and repository
