Cloud Infrastructure Adoption & Advisory
Don’t reinvent the wheel.
You are not the first to adopt cloud – This is a good thing. You have the benefit of learning from other people’s mistakes. From startups to some of the world’s largest companies, organizations are using a broad portfolio of services provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you’re thinking about moving your business to Oracle Cloud but are unsure of what’s available to you, InspireXT will work with you to utilize Oracle’s tried and tested adoption framework and tailor the six conceptual pillars of success to your specific needs.
Oracle’s 6 pillars for success
Business strategy
Helps you document and communicate the business goals that you want to achieve with cloud adoption. Your organization should build a business case to support human, financial, and technological investments. Evaluating the total cost of ownership will ensure that your organization is prepared to shift vendors, or to evolve from an on-premises IT procurement process to a cloud-based investment model.
People strategy
Helps your organization formalize a cloud center of excellence. Its role is to lead your organizational change management process, and to define roles, responsibilities, and training plans for business and technical users.
Security
Helps you define the foundational aspects of security that are needed to protect data and minimize risks in the cloud. The security best practices in this pillar guide your organization to define a secure cloud architecture, identify and implement the right security controls.
Process design
Helps you identify the business and technical processes that your organization needs to achieve its goals for cloud adoption. As part of this pillar, you can evaluate alternative approaches to the cloud, such as a multiple-vendor cloud or a hybrid on-premises/cloud environment.
Technology implementation
Helps you transform the business and technical processes that you identified into a personalized, secure cloud environment that meets your organization’s needs. This cloud environment is called a landing zone. The landing zone serves as the foundation for your cloud deployment, helping you to migrate existing on-premises data center
solutions or to create new cloud-native solutions that address your business goals.
Management & operations
Helps technology teams keep your cloud environment running smoothly, optimize for performance and cost, and position your organization so that it is ready to grow as business demands require.
