Moving to the Cloud at Coursera Course details
- The cloud is taking business by storm. In fact, due to the extraordinary growth of the cloud, it has been described as a tornado, not a fluffy white floating object!
- Commercial research analysts consider cloud as one of the most significant trends with a potential to change the whole global IT industry. Governments, including those in the US, Britain, and Australia, have cloud-first policies now in place which mandate cloud over non-cloud services in ICT procurement. But CIOs and other senior executives, while it's on the majority of their agendas, aren't sure what it really means for their organisations - how to leverage the benefits, control the commercials, manage the business risk, and adapt their organisations.
- While it is important to set requirements, negotiate commercials (terms, service level agreements, and pricing), and sign the contract - it is also critical that we develop a clear plan for ?Moving to the Cloud? which realigns our business architecture, organization and most importantly our people.
- This course provides the answers that management must know to be successful and realise the benefits:
- ? Where should I go cloud?
- ? What are the commercials?
- ? Where is my leverage?
- ? How do I realign my business practices and architecture?
- ? How do I gear up my people and structure my organisation?
