15. KPMG have completely transformed
how we produce technology
solutions
AWS is a key enabler for that change
• Innovation - we have reduced the barriers to
innovation by using the cloud and modern, agile
DevOps principles
• Cost reduction was a key business diver, but we
uncovered huge operational cost reductions in far
better reliability & easier management of the
infrastructure through automation
16. One AWS Use Case:
Small Business Accounting
• SBA is KPMG’s accounting services “as-a-
Service” offering, aimed at SME’s
• As it leverages existing SaaS products, was
an easy sell internally; the first real cloud
deployment in production
17. It is really possible to use the cloud properly
in an extremely risk-averse environment
You just need a Project to get started…
• Greater agility, lower cost of ownership and high
security are all achievable
• Follow DevOps principles: work together with Dev
and Security teams to build something better!
• Don’t follow what has been done on premise already
just because its easier, only do so if it makes sense.

26. The challenge SGN faced
• SGN’s capital approach to IT created highly
available, albeit an expensive, inflexible
estate and way of delivering IT services
• High complexity and inconsistency of the
estate introduces cost and security
challenges
• Unable to respond to a rapidly changing
business and high degree of innovation
• Low degree of supplier and technology
portability
27. How are SGN using AWS?
• Enterprise Agreement, Professional Services, Enterprise Support
• Strategic partner for SGN’s virtual data centre – migration partner
tender in progress to deliver..
• Highly rationalised estate – aiming for c2000 server to c200
• Highly automated, consistent patterns of technology
• Zero touch, zero trust for production systems
28. How has SGN accelerated
acceptance
• Sold the benefits, not the technology from the top down
• Security
• Durability
• Agility
• Cost
• Independent Investment Case led to Board approval
for migration
• Invested a lot of time with legal, procurement and risk
management
• Our business has often been a more willing recipient
than IT
29. • Belief in their product
• An ‘agent of change‘
• Collaborative working – they want you to achieve
the best
• Wide IT industry adoption and support
• Continuous development of the platform
• A disruptive personality
The benefits from working with AWS
30. What does the future hold?
• AWS is a strategic partner for SGN
• SGN’s future relationship is based upon an ‘all in’ deployment
approach
• Minimise the risk of managing a hybrid estate
• Reduce costs
• Adopt a new target operating model more quickly
• Get ‘fit’ ready for SGN’s next industry Price Control Period
