Executive Summary
It is well known that cloud has now become mainstream and adoption has grown year over year
with the latest figures showing that 68 percent of enterprises have one or more applications
in the public or private cloud. In addition to this, 80 percent of leading organizations with
mature hybrid cloud strategies are reporting realization of the associated business values and
significant ROI from increased cost efficiencies, business agility and productivity.
Leading organizations are also increasingly leveraging mature hybrid cloud capabilities as
the foundation and catalyst for digital transformation. As key product and service innovation
are enabled, market expansion through adoption of next-generation initiatives built around
advanced capabilities such as data analytics, machine learning and IoT result in the creation of
significant competitive advantage for those that can get it right.
However, while cloud adoption is continuing to grow, leading organizations with mature hybrid
cloud strategies only represent 31 percent of overall adopters. Meaning many organizations
have yet to channel cloud investments into full realization of the substantial business value and
return on investment (ROI) that it can provide.
Computer Design & Integration LLC (CDI LLC) aims to help accelerate and de-risk the client
journey to realizing the full business potential of hybrid cloud through the CDI Hybrid Cloud
Automation Framework (HCAF).

Key Inhibitors to Hybrid Cloud Business Value
Strategy:
While the associated complexities and challenges of cloud adoption are specific to each
organization, it spans holistically across the business from people, process, and technology
perspectives. Along with being considerably different for smaller and more nimble businesses
vs. larger enterprises, several key inhibitors have emerged that are commonly found in different
capacities in most organizations no matter the size or type.
Organizations don’t always start with a deliberate business-wide hybrid cloud strategy. In fact,
69 percent of organizations’ cloud strategies are reported by IDC as ad-hoc, opportunistic or
non-existent.
Most initiatives are therefore tactical and driven by individual groups as the need arises, creating
pockets of cloud use across the business: resulting in misalignment between lines of business
(LOB), IT and unplanned bimodal operating models.
Bimodal operating models are essential for organizations not born in the cloud. But without
proper strategic planning, the much-needed modernization and transformation of people,
process and technology around cloud is also implemented in an unstructured fashion.
This limits realization of business value and significantly increases associated operational
costs and complexity.
Defining the right strategy up front is the single most important activity for any company to
ensure maximum business value/ROI. This can be seen with over 80 percent of leading
organizations with mature hybrid cloud strategies reporting significantly greater increases in
top-line revenue and strategic allocation of IT budget.
STRATEGY
69% of organizations hybrid cloud
strategies are non-mature, ad-hoc,
opportunistic, or non-exisistent
SKILLS
Are now the #1 CIO concern
superseding security & compliance
MATURITY
Only 7% of organizations have
implemented DevOps practices,
Containers, and Microservices with
hybrid cloud
LEGACY
Transformation of legacy
technologies, organization structures,
and processes remains a big barrier
to ROI
ALIGNMENT
Lines-of-business & IT groups are
still severely misaligned in many
organizations resulting in lack of long-
term adoption
KPI/KRI
Lack of mature hybrid cloud KPI’s and
measures severely inhibit success
and limit future investment
SECURITY
A lack of cloud ready network and
security models greatly restrict
flexibility and agility of hybrid
cloud solutions
STANDARDS
Lack of standard IT service catalogs,
processes and tools greatly increases
complexity, cost and risk

Alignment:
KPI’s:
Skills:
Misalignment of business and IT is typically a knock-on effect from the lack of a cloud strategy and
legacy siloed operating models. It is still very apparent in many organizations and the adage of
“build it and they will come” has not proven effective in driving LOB adoption of cloud services.
Organizations without a proper definition of success in the form of clear and measurable
business, IT and economic KPI’s defined at the start (with realistic timeframes) struggle to
demonstrate the value of hybrid cloud initiatives.
This in turn limits the much-needed investment for future iterations. Cloud is not a one-time
purchase. It is a new and continually evolving operating model that provides services and
capabilities in alignment with changing business needs.
We are seeing for the first time, CIO’s reporting lack of expertise as the number one cloud
challenge, supplanting security. This relates to finding resources that have the real-world
experience of delivering hybrid cloud and more importantly, transformation in and across large
complex organizations in combination with forward looking skills in the form of DevOps and
advanced Data Analytics.
“IT must run more like a business, for the business. Adoption must
be driven top down and IT need to actively engage LOB as an
integral part of their hybrid cloud strategy formation to ensure
stakeholder and consumer buy in and longer-term adoption.”

Legacy:
Standards:
Security:
Modernization and transformation of people, process and technology around cloud is essential,
but often overlooked due to the time and effort it requires to implement and there being no real
silver bullet. It is however, one of the most significant levers to enabling realization of hybrid cloud
business value/ROI.
Legacy physical environments with only basic virtualization and rigid manual processes and
governance, operated within siloed organizational structures greatly limits the effectiveness of
automation and increases management complexity. This in turn, ultimately inhibits business agility.
This is also where most organizations are spending the bulk of the budget, and cloud will not
“move the needle” in terms of significant cost reduction if a strategic plan to address both the
“brownfield” and “greenfield” is not in place.
Standards are integral to delivering cost efficiency and agility. Rationalization and standardization
across technologies, business/IT processes and services are the key precursors to legacy
modernization and transformation, as well as being essential to delivering a high value service
catalog via self-service and the repeatability required for effective automation.
Security is an inhibitor for many organizations. Firstly, in the form of legacy physical network and
security models, often creating manual steps as part of automated workflows -- severely limiting
the benefits and positive impact of automation in cloud deployments.
Second, without leveraging SDN and modernizing the associated security and compliance
policies and processes, cloud use becomes siloed and restricted -- impacting flexibility and
potential cost efficiencies.
05COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Maturity:
In addition to modernization of legacy people, process and technology, organizations need to
transform and mature their operating models around the twin trends of hybrid cloud and DevOps.
It is necessary to implement mature CloudOps and DevOps organization structures and practices
to, not just maximize business value from hybrid cloud, but also to enable hybrid cloud to become
the catalyst for digital transformation.
Implementing hybrid cloud in conjunction with mature DevOps practices that span the entire
delivery pipeline enable the effective use of containers and microservices architectures, which
together simplify deployment and increase frequency, getting new products and services out the
door faster. Increasing speed to market significantly.
The CDI Hybrid Cloud Automation Framework (HCAF) aims to help clients address these key
hybrid cloud inhibitors and accelerate the journey to realizing hybrid cloud business value.
The CDI Solution:

The HCAF methodology is based on real world experience engaging with clients through the
good and the bad, of complex hybrid cloud and transformative engagements.
The methodology has been designed to be no-nonsense, simple, and as lean as possible and
is centered on accelerating the maturity of a client’s hybrid cloud strategies, driving alignment of
business and IT and reducing risk. Ultimately, it ensures business outcomes are delivered from
hybrid cloud adoption.
The HCAF methodology is broken down into three phases:
PHASE 1: STRATEGY AND ROADMAP
Phase 1 starts with a maturity assessment. This is lightweight and ascertains a high-level
understanding of the organizations current state across infrastructure, applications, tools,
network/security models, processes and organization structures.
A deeper analysis of workloads is then conducted to understand applications and their
supporting architectures, interdependencies, and business classifications. This enables
identification of key gaps and risks early in the process, starts to assess workload suitability,
defines placement for hybrid cloud, and identifies a strategy and roadmap for core or
critical applications.
Methodology:

User centric interviews and workshops are then conducted with business and IT stakeholders
to envision, identify, validate, and prioritize business opportunities for hybrid cloud along with
defining a strategy, target state, roadmap, business case and plan for execution.
The key benefits of Phase 1 are:
• Business outcomes focused
• Aligns the business and IT around strategic initiatives
• Reduces complexities and risk
• Determines use-cases with the best combination of business benefits and
implementation feasibility
• Provides evaluation framework for workload placement
• Provides visibility of required investment and timeframes up-front
PHASE 2: IMPLEMENT DAY 1 HYBRID CLOUD
Phases 1 and 2 are delivered in a waterfall delivery approach. In Phase 2, CDI LLC leverages its
solutions architectures and use case libraries to accelerate the design and build processes and
simplify enablement and support of a day one hybrid cloud solution.
A parallel program of work is also defined to ensure key baseline maturity gaps are addressed
across infrastructure, applications, tools, processes and services. Ensuring infrastructure is
software defined, that target applications are cloud ready or cloud aligned, that core processes
are optimized or rewritten for automation, and that standard services and cost profiles have
been defined. These are key dependencies to ensure hybrid cloud delivers not just short term,
but long-term business value.
PHASE 3: OPTIMIZE AND ENABLE
Phase 3 is conducted under an agile delivery approach. Once the day one hybrid cloud
capability has been delivered, CDI LLC leverages the input, strategy and roadmap framework
from Phase 1 to define future phases in smaller iterations focused on rapidly delivering new
features and capabilities for the cloud solution, and implementing change programs in the form
of modernization, transformation and migration activities. Working in this way enables clients to
embrace change and adapt to business needs as they arise, but instills the necessary structure
to ensure results are delivered, risk is managed and strategic alignment is maintained across
the business.

Executive Summary It is well known that cloud has now become mainstream and adoption has grown year over year with the latest figures showing that 68 percent of enterprises have one or more applications in the public or private cloud. In addition to this, 80 percent of leading organizations with mature hybrid cloud strategies are reporting realization of the associated business values and significant ROI from increased cost efficiencies, business agility and productivity. Leading organizations are also increasingly leveraging mature hybrid cloud capabilities as the foundation and catalyst for digital transformation. As key product and service innovation are enabled, market expansion through adoption of next-generation initiatives built around advanced capabilities such as data analytics, machine learning and IoT result in the creation of significant competitive advantage for those that can get it right. However, while cloud adoption is continuing to grow, leading organizations with mature hybrid cloud strategies only represent 31 percent of overall adopters. Meaning many organizations have yet to channel cloud investments into full realization of the substantial business value and return on investment (ROI) that it can provide. Computer Design & Integration LLC (CDI LLC) aims to help accelerate and de-risk the client journey to realizing the full business potential of hybrid cloud through the CDI Hybrid Cloud Automation Framework (HCAF). 02 COSTS AGILITY PRODUCTIVITY HYBRID CLOUD 68% OF ENTERPRISES HAVE ONE OR MORE APPS IN THE CLOUD ONLY 31% OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE REALIZING THE FULL VALUE OF CLOUD DIGITAL INNOVATION NON-LINEAR MODE TRADITIONAL MODE
  • 4. Key Inhibitors to Hybrid Cloud Business Value Strategy: While the associated complexities and challenges of cloud adoption are specific to each organization, it spans holistically across the business from people, process, and technology perspectives. Along with being considerably different for smaller and more nimble businesses vs. larger enterprises, several key inhibitors have emerged that are commonly found in different capacities in most organizations no matter the size or type. Organizations don’t always start with a deliberate business-wide hybrid cloud strategy. In fact, 69 percent of organizations’ cloud strategies are reported by IDC as ad-hoc, opportunistic or non-existent. Most initiatives are therefore tactical and driven by individual groups as the need arises, creating pockets of cloud use across the business: resulting in misalignment between lines of business (LOB), IT and unplanned bimodal operating models. Bimodal operating models are essential for organizations not born in the cloud. But without proper strategic planning, the much-needed modernization and transformation of people, process and technology around cloud is also implemented in an unstructured fashion. This limits realization of business value and significantly increases associated operational costs and complexity. Defining the right strategy up front is the single most important activity for any company to ensure maximum business value/ROI. This can be seen with over 80 percent of leading organizations with mature hybrid cloud strategies reporting significantly greater increases in top-line revenue and strategic allocation of IT budget. STRATEGY 69% of organizations hybrid cloud strategies are non-mature, ad-hoc, opportunistic, or non-exisistent SKILLS Are now the #1 CIO concern superseding security & compliance MATURITY Only 7% of organizations have implemented DevOps practices, Containers, and Microservices with hybrid cloud LEGACY Transformation of legacy technologies, organization structures, and processes remains a big barrier to ROI ALIGNMENT Lines-of-business & IT groups are still severely misaligned in many organizations resulting in lack of long- term adoption KPI/KRI Lack of mature hybrid cloud KPI’s and measures severely inhibit success and limit future investment SECURITY A lack of cloud ready network and security models greatly restrict flexibility and agility of hybrid cloud solutions STANDARDS Lack of standard IT service catalogs, processes and tools greatly increases complexity, cost and risk 03COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
  • 5. Alignment: KPI’s: Skills: Misalignment of business and IT is typically a knock-on effect from the lack of a cloud strategy and legacy siloed operating models. It is still very apparent in many organizations and the adage of “build it and they will come” has not proven effective in driving LOB adoption of cloud services. Organizations without a proper definition of success in the form of clear and measurable business, IT and economic KPI’s defined at the start (with realistic timeframes) struggle to demonstrate the value of hybrid cloud initiatives. This in turn limits the much-needed investment for future iterations. Cloud is not a one-time purchase. It is a new and continually evolving operating model that provides services and capabilities in alignment with changing business needs. We are seeing for the first time, CIO’s reporting lack of expertise as the number one cloud challenge, supplanting security. This relates to finding resources that have the real-world experience of delivering hybrid cloud and more importantly, transformation in and across large complex organizations in combination with forward looking skills in the form of DevOps and advanced Data Analytics. “IT must run more like a business, for the business. Adoption must be driven top down and IT need to actively engage LOB as an integral part of their hybrid cloud strategy formation to ensure stakeholder and consumer buy in and longer-term adoption.” Gartner Data Center, Infrastructure and Operations Management Conference, December 5-8, 2016, Las Vegas, NV, Gartner, Inc. 04COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
  • 6. Legacy: Standards: Security: Modernization and transformation of people, process and technology around cloud is essential, but often overlooked due to the time and effort it requires to implement and there being no real silver bullet. It is however, one of the most significant levers to enabling realization of hybrid cloud business value/ROI. Legacy physical environments with only basic virtualization and rigid manual processes and governance, operated within siloed organizational structures greatly limits the effectiveness of automation and increases management complexity. This in turn, ultimately inhibits business agility. This is also where most organizations are spending the bulk of the budget, and cloud will not “move the needle” in terms of significant cost reduction if a strategic plan to address both the “brownfield” and “greenfield” is not in place. Standards are integral to delivering cost efficiency and agility. Rationalization and standardization across technologies, business/IT processes and services are the key precursors to legacy modernization and transformation, as well as being essential to delivering a high value service catalog via self-service and the repeatability required for effective automation. Security is an inhibitor for many organizations. Firstly, in the form of legacy physical network and security models, often creating manual steps as part of automated workflows -- severely limiting the benefits and positive impact of automation in cloud deployments. Second, without leveraging SDN and modernizing the associated security and compliance policies and processes, cloud use becomes siloed and restricted -- impacting flexibility and potential cost efficiencies. 05COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC.

  • 7. Maturity: In addition to modernization of legacy people, process and technology, organizations need to transform and mature their operating models around the twin trends of hybrid cloud and DevOps. It is necessary to implement mature CloudOps and DevOps organization structures and practices to, not just maximize business value from hybrid cloud, but also to enable hybrid cloud to become the catalyst for digital transformation. Implementing hybrid cloud in conjunction with mature DevOps practices that span the entire delivery pipeline enable the effective use of containers and microservices architectures, which together simplify deployment and increase frequency, getting new products and services out the door faster. Increasing speed to market significantly. The CDI Hybrid Cloud Automation Framework (HCAF) aims to help clients address these key hybrid cloud inhibitors and accelerate the journey to realizing hybrid cloud business value. The CDI Solution: HCAF FRAMEWORK Accelerates your journey to hybrid cloud business value METHODOLOGY A real world, no-nonsense, proven methodology that accelerates realization of hybrid cloud business outcomes and enables agility to pivot with changing business needs. SOLUTIONS Reference Architectures and use case libraries for private, public and hybrid cloud to reduce cost, risk and accelerate deployment. SERVICES End-to-end holistic portfolio of services built specifically to address every step of the hybrid cloud journey. 06COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
  • 8. The HCAF methodology is based on real world experience engaging with clients through the good and the bad, of complex hybrid cloud and transformative engagements. The methodology has been designed to be no-nonsense, simple, and as lean as possible and is centered on accelerating the maturity of a client’s hybrid cloud strategies, driving alignment of business and IT and reducing risk. Ultimately, it ensures business outcomes are delivered from hybrid cloud adoption. The HCAF methodology is broken down into three phases: PHASE 1: STRATEGY AND ROADMAP Phase 1 starts with a maturity assessment. This is lightweight and ascertains a high-level understanding of the organizations current state across infrastructure, applications, tools, network/security models, processes and organization structures. A deeper analysis of workloads is then conducted to understand applications and their supporting architectures, interdependencies, and business classifications. This enables identification of key gaps and risks early in the process, starts to assess workload suitability, defines placement for hybrid cloud, and identifies a strategy and roadmap for core or critical applications. Methodology: The HCAF framework consists of three parts: WORKLOAD DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS PHASE 1 - STRATEGY & ROADMAP MATURITY ASESSMENT v HYBRID CLOUD STRATEGY & ROADMAP A B STAKEHOLDERS REQUIREMENTS DAY 1 HYBRID CLOUD SOLUTION PHASE 2 –IMPLEMENT DAY1 HYBRID CLOUD REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE BASED DESIGN ACCELERATED BUILD PROCESS SIMPLIFIED ENABLEMENT & SUPPORT WATERFALL DELIVERY DAY 1 MATURITY BASELINE SOFTWARE DEFINED DATACENTER CLOUD READY APPLICATIONS AUTOMATION OPTIMIZED PROCESSES SERVICES ALIGNED ORGANIZATION PHASE 3 –OPTIMIZE & ENABLE AGILE DELIVERY STAKEHOLDERS ITERATIONS TOWARDS TARGET STATE ADAPT TO CHANGING BUSINESS NEEDS NEW FEATURES NEW CAPABILITIES TRANSFORMATION WORKLOAD MIGRATION 07COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
  • 9. User centric interviews and workshops are then conducted with business and IT stakeholders to envision, identify, validate, and prioritize business opportunities for hybrid cloud along with defining a strategy, target state, roadmap, business case and plan for execution. The key benefits of Phase 1 are: • Business outcomes focused • Aligns the business and IT around strategic initiatives • Reduces complexities and risk • Determines use-cases with the best combination of business benefits and implementation feasibility • Provides evaluation framework for workload placement • Provides visibility of required investment and timeframes up-front PHASE 2: IMPLEMENT DAY 1 HYBRID CLOUD Phases 1 and 2 are delivered in a waterfall delivery approach. In Phase 2, CDI LLC leverages its solutions architectures and use case libraries to accelerate the design and build processes and simplify enablement and support of a day one hybrid cloud solution. A parallel program of work is also defined to ensure key baseline maturity gaps are addressed across infrastructure, applications, tools, processes and services. Ensuring infrastructure is software defined, that target applications are cloud ready or cloud aligned, that core processes are optimized or rewritten for automation, and that standard services and cost profiles have been defined. These are key dependencies to ensure hybrid cloud delivers not just short term, but long-term business value. PHASE 3: OPTIMIZE AND ENABLE Phase 3 is conducted under an agile delivery approach. Once the day one hybrid cloud capability has been delivered, CDI LLC leverages the input, strategy and roadmap framework from Phase 1 to define future phases in smaller iterations focused on rapidly delivering new features and capabilities for the cloud solution, and implementing change programs in the form of modernization, transformation and migration activities. Working in this way enables clients to embrace change and adapt to business needs as they arise, but instills the necessary structure to ensure results are delivered, risk is managed and strategic alignment is maintained across the business. 08COPYRIGHT ©COMPUTER DESIGN & INTEGRATION LLC.
