What is the impact of cloud computing? 21
Our expectations have changedWe expect: » To access services anywhere, any time, on
any device› To be able to work from home, café…
» Companies to have access to all (our) their data
» To have the applications/services we feel we need
» To engage through channels we choose to the extent we choose› Great ‘micro-moments’ in the customer
journey» Real-time solutions to our problems» Companies to look after our data securely

22
Organisations are changing» Multi platform provision, agile development,
rapid release, BYOD› Security around applications, information
and services rather than perimeter› Each interaction as smooth as possible
» Proactive monitoring of social media, marketing as a dialogue…
» IT governance, compliance, privacy standards, best practice, control of external development houses...
» Employee Experience› Making workplace as slick as consumer

Control
Reputation and trust
23
And as for the IT function…» Change in control - consumers have
choice › Who’s signed up to Dropbox? Did
they read the terms?» Change in development
methodologies› Prince? Waterfall? Or Agile and
DevOps?» Change in skill sets and people
› Technical e.g. Docker?› Non- Technical e.g. Contract
management› Specialist e.g. Data management

And as for the IT function…» Change from data to information
› Cloud data lakes, real time integration, data sources, REST APIs
» Change in risk profile› Business continuity for SaaS
products?

IT folks – how much of this picture do you see?» How has your recruitment/team changed?» Have you more, or less, clarity about your IT and Information estate?

Cloud constraints

What is the impact of cloud computing?
Cloud maturity
29
Organisational maturity » Cloud Watchers - developing cloud strategies and plans but have not
yet deployed applications into the cloud. Cloud Watchers want to evaluate available cloud options and determine which applications to implement in the cloud
» Cloud Beginners - new to cloud computing, working on proof-of-concepts or initial cloud projects. Cloud Beginners want to gain experience in order to determine future projects
» Cloud Explorers - have multiple projects or applications already deployed in the cloud. Cloud Explorers are focused on improving and expanding their use of cloud resources
» Cloud Focused - businesses are heavily using cloud infrastructure and are looking to optimize cloud operations as well as cloud costs

Where do your organisations fit on that list?» Watchers, beginners, explorers, or cloud-focused?

Stage 1 - impacts
34
Example early stage impacts» Access to massive compute and storage resources
› Some massively faster computation and research› But unevenly distributed
» Access to so much content and learning› Some new trends – producers, real interaction, access to better quality› New sources, new opportunities, some democratisation
» Access to new platforms and social collaborations› Geographically independent learning and research

Despite all the hype we have mainly kept doing what we’ve always done with new applications and
new titles, the real impact of cloud is only just starting to be visible.

Rethinking…
1. Move service to cloud – result staff/students can access from anywhere, therefore resilience...
2. Suffer outage on campus/on network – but it’s okay, the services are in the cloud...
3. Authorisation/identity management still on campus...
Result: the service is up, accessible and available, but no one can log in as the login requires the your onsite active directory type service!
It only works if you’ve thought it all through…

Stage 3 - impacts
What are the real impacts?
Your dataYour phone profiles what you want to see
You only see what is profiled by the cloud
You store your documents in the cloud
Your company loses its data when you leave
Your data is sold without your knowledge
You can’t get insurance (if it was really your data)
Your data is shared for medical research purposes
Your life is saved by early intervention due to predictive analytics
