About moving to Cloud
• Why moving to cloud?
• The 3 goals of a company:
• MMN
• MMMNY
• MMMMMMMITLR
• Income
• Costs
• IT helps me to control costs and to enlarge incomes
• Let’s make a computer language to run business
• 1959 – COBOL “Common Business Oriented Language”
4

COBOL – a Déjà Vu
• CODASYL – 1959, the COBOL-60 was introduced
• Charles Phillips, DoD
• The famous COBOL tombstone
• 1960-2023 – 63 years old
• A survey found that COBOL is viewed as strategic by 92% of
respondents.
• Reuters reported in April 2023 that about 95% of ATM swipes use
COBOL code, and that COBOL systems handle $3 trillion in commerce
every day.

Old clouds and new rains
• In 1963, MIT received 2 $M and a requirement to
develop technology allowing for a “computer to be
used by two or more people, simultaneously.”
• One of those gigantic, archaic computers using reels
of magnetic tape for memory became the precursor to
what has now become collectively known as cloud
computing. It acted as a primitive cloud with two or
three people accessing it. The word “virtualization”
was used to describe this situation, though the word’s
meaning later expanded.
• In 1997, Professor Ramnath Chellapa of Emory
University defined cloud computing as the new
“computing paradigm, where the boundaries of
computing will be determined by economic rationale,
rather than technical limits alone.”
• In 1999, Salesforce became a popular example of
using cloud computing successfully. They used it to
pioneer the idea of using the Internet to deliver
software programs to the end users. The software
could be accessed and downloaded by anyone with
Internet access. Businesses could purchase the
software in an on-demand, cost-effective manner
without leaving the office.
6
• In 2006, Amazon launched Amazon Web
Services, which offers online services to
other websites or clients. One of Amazon
Web Services’ sites, called Amazon
Mechanical Turk, provided a variety of
cloud-based services, including storage,
computation, and “human intelligence.”
Another of Amazon Web Services’ sites
was the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2),
allowing individuals to rent virtual
computers and use their own programs and
applications.
• Private clouds were initiated in 2008,
though undeveloped, and not very popular.
• 2011 – The “Hybrid Cloud” concept
appears.
• 2004 – The Solaris Container.
• 2013 – The Docker Container.
• 2014 – Google launches Kubernetes, a
container-orchestration system designed to
automate application deployments, scaling,
and management

It’s cloudy, it will be raining soon
• Usually:
• Yes, they have started a migration
• Yes, it is incomplete
• Yes, the final picture will anyway still
keep datacenters/mainframes
• Reasons:
• Costs
• Resiliency/Availability
• Regulation constraints
• Security
• Sustainability
• Attrition
• Streamlining
• Income
• Enthusiasm!!

Fast move to multi-cloud &
hybrid configuration
>80%
of enterprises have adopted
hybrid cloud
47%
using 2 or 3 public cloud
providers
>75%
of data will be produced and
processed at the edge

Enactment of Change
The Hype of Cloud
Low-cost entry to Emerging
Technology
• Immediate infrastructure availability
• Speed to Innovate
• Circumvent traditional processes that are
slow & seen as legacy
• Adapt to market trends and regions
without heavy investment
We are a cool company!
We’ll do it in 2 months…
• Over-promised benefit without realizing the effort.
• Culture & Mindset doesn’t match the technology.
• Expectation of immediate proficiency in new technology
• Traditional Operating Model will cope with new
technology or at least some tweaks and it will be fine.
No Digital Quotient – Things have to change!
• Aha! We don’t know as much about cloud and technology as we thought!
• My/The leadership don’t know much either!
• Our organization sees us as a resource drain (cost/people)!
• We need to educate ourselves, our leaders and our suppliers!
• Work on PEOPLE is needed
Broad Change Enabler
• If we change our
technology we must
change how we consume
it!
• Upskill/Train our people
• Adapt our processes and
methodologies to avoid “a
data center in the cloud”

The Traps of Legacy
• Migration to Cloud is not the first step
• Minimum one more step of digitalization
• Traps:
• Code bugs in the process
• Hardcoded and half-hard-coded points
• Lack of data curation
• Mess dressed up with order
• Sometimes, seven different steps (layers)
• Bugs among the layers
• “Stones” in the way
• But we don’t have the time!!
• …Nor the resources!!
• Software needs deciphering
• People need deciphering

Legacy Processes
Previous Digitalization
Migration to Cloud

Deciphering Hittite Writing
• Hugo Winckler (1863-1913), German
Archaeologist, unearthed 10,000 Hittite writings
• Unknown language, possibly unknown alphabet
• Nobody knows what happened to these guys
• Winckler died in 1913
• 1914-18 – World War I
• A little Czech soldier, in the middle of a trench…
12

A Little Soldier…
• Bedřich Hrozný, born in Lysá nad Labem, 20 km from Prague
• While in war, he took his glasses and notes with him
• In 1915, while in war, he realized…
• «nu NINDA-an ezzatteni watar-ma ekutteni»
• 1917, back at home, he published his first description of the
language
13

And then… What happened to these guys?
• The last great King, Suppiluliuma II, was the winner of the first ever
known naval battle, against Cyprus in 1210 BC.
• 1190 BC, a large army leaves Hattusa to Egypt.
• The Kaskians attack the city.
• The populations splits.
• Very few survivors, from both sides – the winner is not even known.

The migration to Cloud
One company, many voices
15
CEO & Board CIO
Trying to utilise technology to break into new
markets and demographics
Trying to leverage data and environmental
integration to improve customer experience
Attempting to streamline processes through
automation whilst optimising efficiency and
reducing cost.
Technology initiatives are prioritised based on their
alignment with key business goals and plans
Investments in technology are scrutinised for their
potential return on investment and impact on
bottom line.
Technology is leveraged to enhance business
agility, enabling rapid response to market changes
and maintaining competitive edge
I will be as less transparent as possible when
discussing about processes, data..
I am happy with the previous system, with silos and
legacies. I have managed to become essential &
necessary for the operations
Some colleague of mine, not my friend, is trying to
re-position in the new infrastructure
When Cloud is implemented, I’ll explain to
everyone how difficult it is
I’ll anyway find the way to make silos in the
new infrastructure
This cloud migration process is only trying to kill my
job

What are the consulting varieties
What do the clients ask us?
16
We have identified the following situations:
1. The client does not have complete awareness
of his infrastructure. They need someone
addresses accountability and classification of
servers, services, applications, data, compliance
aspects, performance, security aspects. –
Status Quo Analysis
2. The client wants to learn
information about technology state-
of-the-art and/or market trends. -
Digital Quotient

17
3. Atos is implementing a service for the client. The
project would require a Periodical Assessment in
terms of how the service is evolving, and whether
or not it matches with the state-of-the-art or market
trends
4. The client intends to accomplish a change
in their infrastructure
(migration/transformation) from status A to
status B and wants to learn the best roadmap
for the process, in relation to parameter X. -
Process Roadmap

18
5. The client knows their initial status A but would
like some guidance on which final status B should
be reached. They invite us to propose some
options for B, each one with an accurately
estimated cost, sustainability impact, resiliency,
availability, security impact. – Strategy
Consulting
6. The client know their migration
process. But they want to discuss the
Target Operating Model (TOM)
which will set the way the client and
the implementing company will work
together – TOM Advisory

19
7. The client is, in principle, satisfied with its
infrastructure, but has the impression that new
evolution stages can be reached, upon proposal of
their own team. Hence, they want a consulting
company to arrange a continuous innovation
process, which may include “innovation
workshops”, “strathacks” and multiple-supplier
events, linked to an idea selection stage-gate
process in order to assess if the best ideas raised
in the innovation events should be implemented. –
