Target Operating Model (TOM)
Coordinated
Shared
Isolated
Replicated
High standardization
High integration
“We run it as one”
“We run different solutions by defined output”
“We all do things on our own”
“We run it by many and in the same way”

• Target Operating Model for IT systems created
to standardise and rationalise our applications
landscape
• 220 projects identified to achieve intermediate
targets by 2015, and initiate a long-term
journey towards sharing and replicating IT
solutions across the bank
• Systems to be retired at end of normal ‘life
cycle’ to avoid unnecessary replacement costs
• Today 450 applications were
decommissioned. ING Bank now has
approximately 3,000 applications worldwide.
Another 450 in 2015 and 750 by 2018 to be
decommissioned
• Moving towards a Shared Service Model for
the IT infrastructure across the bank, including
consolidating more than 20 existing data
centres into 2 strategic data centres serving all
of Europe
Evolution of IT applications towards a shared
and replicated Target Operating Model
Rationalising our IT landscape
contributes to efficiencies

Questions & considerations for potential buyers of PURE application system (1)
Who do I need to get senior managers on-board to gain some support to use PureApplication System?
If I go down this route it will disrupt IT. What will my new IT Operations team look like once I’ve implemented PureApplication System and how do I manage the transition?
Testing sounds like a good place to start but how do I get it to the next stage, Production?
When will I start to see a ROI?
We are an existing IBM middleware user. How will PureApplication System reduce my license costs over the next three years?
We already have a large investment in IBM technology and feel PureApplication System puts us in a worse place where we’re even more dependent on IBM. What flexibility do I have if PureApplication System becomes took expensive?

Questions & considerations for potential buyers of PURE application system (2)
How do I prepare my organisation for such implementation of Pure Application System ?
Which key success criteria for implementation can I anticipate on for during the assessment and pre-sales process together with IBM and partners ?
How does a future operating model look like to run the PureApplication System in my organization ?
How do I determine and in what way the configuration, purpose and appliance of such system technology in my organisation ?
What would be the right change and operating governance model for implementation and how to define the transition between phases ?
Which domains and departments will be affected and what kind of ‘internal cultural drivers’ can I expect ? How to approach them ??
How do I determine operational maturity and readiness for implementation ?

The lifetime of systems change, and as a result the types and frequency of administrative actions you perform will change
•For example: WebSpheresystem administrators will have the option on working on more, smaller cells with shorter lifetimes instead of larger cells for a longer time
•Changes to application can now be localized
You'll need people who are good at abstraction to create standard images and patterns, and develop standard script packages and plugins
•Would need people to create and maintain patterns with the latest release, OS patches, images
Implementation requires new skill sets

Integration with Service Management requires planning and forethought
•While you still have a NOC team and integration with existing monitoring solutions, the processes for handling issues will change
•Different ways of handling problems; new mechanisms for changing configurations
•The definition of “steady state” changes as things become dynamic
Changes in Business Continuity (Backup/Restore, HA, DR) approaches cause change
•Different techniques and technologies for handling these problems
•Require different skill sets and different procedures
Integration of the system how, what, … ?
Do we need to do the same things as before?
What about procedures?
20. 20
Deep versus broad?
Can we embrace integrated solutions?
You're going to need more generalists and fewer specialists
•IBM PureApplicationSystem combines all parts of large virtualized system in one simple to use package that can be handled mostly with generalists
•Need specialists to debug and solve problems –improved efficiency with single integrated console
Your organization will become less compartmentalized and more integrated
•Complexity inherent in building large IT environments has encouraged the specialization in IT organizations
•With IBM PureApplicationSystem and its pre-integrated and optimized patterns of expertise, fewer things can go wrong –you will need smaller teams working more closely together on things like problem resolution
General principles: Change and impact

Lessons Learned during the Journey
Begin by understanding the needs that PureApplication System is intended to address
•Ask many questions!
The stakeholder workshop was key to gaining consensus and a shared direction
•Make sure that all the stakeholders are present in order to make decisions that will stand
•That means that all stakeholders from day one will have to complete the journey !!
•The participants are transitional leaders who are transforming their current IT role to desired PURE application system role
Put a mechanism in place to manage the PureApplication System
•For ING, Dev/Ops provided that mechanism
