Where you stand today

Assessment and benchmark

Shifting to deliver dedicated infrastructure as-a-Service means you need to adopt all 4 aspects of aaS operations:
Automating or outsourcing day-to-day infrastructure management. aaS operating models deliver a level of agility and responsiveness that manual IT management can’t keep pace with. Automation and managed services are key to delivering aaS experiences to end users.
The ability to scale as needed. Traditional infrastructure planning, procurement, and deployment takes organizations an average 37 weeks for a new workload. Modern IT organizations need to be able to evolve to deliver the scale needed, when it’s needed.
Paying for infrastructure as it's used. Traditional infrastructure planning, procurement, and deployment leads to overprovisioned infrastructure ~53% of the time. As-a-Service payment models help spread your costs over time and can free up capital budgets to pursue other projects sooner.
Focus on outcomes, not products: 77% of respondents agree “the cloud” is really all about operating models. IT organizations need to adjust from a product-centric mindset to one focused on service delivery.
