5 components.
34
Anandu Anilkumar
35. IT Governance
35
1. Strategic Alignment:
All the strategies in the organization should be aligned with the cumulative
organizational goals.
2. Performance Management:
Performance of the all the employees and other crucial projects should be
monitored and documented.
3. Resource Management:
Allocation of resources in IT should always align with the strategy in hand and
organizational vision.
4. Value Delivery:
Value for money is a key factor in every customerâs mindset. The IT strategy
used for achieving the goals should also be chosen such that it yields highROI.
5. Risk Management:
This includes analysis of the risk ie; risk impact and likelihood. It also deals
with strategies for risk management

36. Risk Management
Risk management is
the process of systematically identifying, assessing, and providing for risks

DOWNTIME MEDIUM HIGH
Anandu Anilkumar
37. Risk Management Strategy
37
1. Avoidance:
Refers to elimination of threat by elimination of the cause. If an AWS service is
not available for a particular deliverable, depending on its impact we can skip
the particular deliverable.
2. Mitigation:
Refers to lowering the probability of occurrence of the risks. This is carried out
by choosing only the AWS provisions that are effective and helps in improving
storage efficiency.
3. Transfer:
Refers to passing the responsibility of dealing with the risk. It includes having a
backup virtual storage or even a physical storage in case of emergency.
4. Acceptance:
Refers to proceeding with the plan knowing the risk might occur. But this strategy
require swift and effective contingency plans.

42. As Is - To Be Analysis
As Is To Be
PHYSICAL SERVERS CLOUD SERVERS
No uptime or recovery time guarantees. If
multiple servers go down, it is a major risk
requiring additional hardware and redundant
physical servers.
Full data recovery could prove very time-
consuming and impactful on systems.
Protected in the data centre. Only the
administrators have access to that area.
Threat of data compromise exists with
thousands of people on the cloud. Can be
requested by the provider for a separate
server.
Offers limited flexibility. Though can be
configured or customized with increased
hardware and cost.
Increased flexibility with infrastructure.
Downtime is very high. Hardware
management requires more time and suffers
huge cost.
Provides increased uptime as server uptime is
part of lease contract and high levels of
service provided. 42

43. As Is To Be
PHYSICAL SERVERS CLOUD SERVERS
Downtime is very high. Hardware

Customers have different types of interactions with organizations whether it is survey, in-person, via web, blog, social media, voice or text. With so many options available for data collection, there is a necessity for information management.
The challenge that every organization has is how to pull all of this together and make sense of the customer experience.
There is a definite value in each of these interaction forms whether data collected if structured or unstructured.
The best form of information collection is via survey, where data is collected in structured form. Here the company encourages the customers to get their opinion and feedback on services, products and experiences. This allows them to get insight on information they value most.
Drawback, is that it does not capture data in its full capacity. The customer is unwilling to provide valuable feedback especially when asked at the wrong time.
The best way to capture the true opinion is when the customers come to the organization, however, the data here is highly unstructured yet very valuable.
Once youâve gathered customer data, make the most of it. Donât limit yourself by over-simplifying data as good or bad. Customers' feelings about products go far beyond simply liking or disliking a product, which means you can learn a lot more from feedback than overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction.Â

MDM usually is needed where there is allot of data overlap and inconsistencies in data management throughout the organization or where a particular department needs to be brought into line with the rest of the organization.
Good data quality will be complete, timely, consistent, valid, have integrity and be accurate.
Master Data is information about customers, suppliers, partners, products, materials, employees, accounts and more, Master Data is at the heart of every business transaction, application and decision therefore Data Governence and Master Data Management go hand in hand and should be developed together wherever data management is important in an organisation and then the strategy should be monitored and tweaked as conditions change and the business develops into the future.

Making sense of the unstructured dataThe team deals with the big data (unstructured), which is generated using the online customer behavior and studying their transaction records. Customer analytics contributes to larger sales and helps in understanding the correlation between delivery matrix and customer loyalty.
They also analyze customer feedback which is unstructured data to understand the sentiment expressed by the customer and the areas on which they are providing feedback. Their big data environment is helping BigBasket analyze structured and unstructured data to draw key insights and upgrade their customer experience.
Analytics helps in driving the personalizationAnalytics team is focused on enhancing and personalizing customer experience by delivering a variety of solutions.âWe identify our customers and enable the targeted customer engagement like offers, communications to/with customers. Second, analyze their buying behavior and design their Smartbaskets using products they need immediately and products they usually buy. Smartbasket reduces the time-to-buy for customers and allows them to discover products that they may need or not usually buyâ Subramanian added.
Predictive analytics reduces flux in the inventoryâWe have developed an array of solutions that help in optimizing the supply chain. And ensures that we are neither over stocked nor under stockedâ he said.The solutions include, forecasting the demand that helps the supply chain team plan capacity like vans, drivers, CEEs, equipment needed in various facilities. The historical analysis of the sales data helps in categorically planning the inventory. It helps analyze types of orders and their volumes to allow the supply chain team to plan suitable delivery options to minimize cost.
Analyzing massive data for visualizing trendsBig data platform and machine learning algorithms are help in analyzing large volumes of data to devise point as well as scale solutions.Point solutions like smartbasket, communication and offers help in personalizing customer experience on the product while scale solutions help in business planning that enhances overall customer experience.

They also analyze customer feedback which is unstructured data to understand the sentiment expressed by the customer and the areas on which they are providing feedback. Their big data environment is helping BigBasket analyze structured and unstructured data to draw key insights and upgrade their customer experience.
Analytics helps in driving the personalizationAnalytics team is focused on enhancing and personalizing customer experience by delivering a variety of solutions.âWe identify our customers and enable the targeted customer engagement like offers, communications to/with customers. Second, analyze their buying behavior and design their Smartbaskets using products they need immediately and products they usually buy. Smartbasket reduces the time-to-buy for customers and allows them to discover products that they may need or not usually buyâ Subramanian added.
Predictive analytics reduces flux in the inventoryâWe have developed an array of solutions that help in optimizing the supply chain. And ensures that we are neither over stocked nor under stockedâ he said.The solutions include, forecasting the demand that helps the supply chain team plan capacity like vans, drivers, CEEs, equipment needed in various facilities. The historical analysis of the sales data helps in categorically planning the inventory. It helps analyze types of orders and their volumes to allow the supply chain team to plan suitable delivery options to minimize cost.
Analyzing massive data for visualizing trendsBig data platform and machine learning algorithms are help in analyzing large volumes of data to devise point as well as scale solutions.Point solutions like smartbasket, communication and offers help in personalizing customer experience on the product while scale solutions help in business planning that enhances overall customer experience.

Strengths
1. A virtualized computing environment allows multiple physical servers to be configured so as to increase or decrease the number of logical servers. This means youâre able to be flexible to the needs of your business without spending on any additional physical servers.
2. Speaking of server provisioning, bootable images and virtual server templates can be kept on-hand for when theyâre needed. This saves you from those ever-so-enjoyable tasks of installing and re-installing Windows, configuring firewall settings, restoring backups, and what have you.
3. To add to the whole flexibility theme, how often have you wanted to test a new configuration or to try out a new sales application, only to discover that you didnât have the necessary hardware? Testing new hardware and software is crucial to the continuity of any business making use of IT. For more elaborate set-ups or labs, a dedicated virtual server environment allows testers to configure and reconfigure various scenarios at the drop of a hat. This saves them time and lots of frustration.
4. Just like testers would boot up a server that theyâve configured for a specific purpose â with relevant applications installed and network settings already done â so your live systems can be made redundant with an equivalent or similar server environment running alongside it. This server environment doesnât have to be active â depending on your business of course â but will provide the necessary backup systems in case of an outage.
Weaknesses
1. A problem with virtual servers is that theyâre still dependent on the underlying physical machine/machines. If a physical server suffers a mechanical fault, and thereâs no redundancy in place, multiple virtual servers will be affected. This can spell serious financial consequences if thereâs prolonged downtime.
2. Separate applications might be installed on separate virtual servers, but these programs are still inextricably linked â they share the resources of their supporting physical server. As more demand from more virtual servers is placed on the physical servers/servers, a serious degradation in performance could be experienced across the board, and could negatively affect service-oriented or real-time business operations.
3. Some applications are not supported on shared environments and could even be in breach of the licensing agreement. Furthermore, depending on which operating system you choose to go with, make sure itâs properly licensed for your environment â there could be a significant cost impact depending on whether itâs installed on a physical or number of virtual servers.
Opportunities
1. Allow business in newer systems that are server intensive and specific to certain hardware.
2. Ability to gain new business by marketing data center standards
Threats
1. Breach or attack on data center, need to increase security
2. Loss of space contract or capital to acquire newer hardware
3. Environmental issues with recycling old hardware
Strengths
No need for onsite hardware or capital expenses. Well-suited to smaller companies that may outgrow storage too quickly.
Storage can be added as needed. Solutions are often on-demand, so you only pay for what you need.
Backup and restore can be initiated from anywhere, using any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Data can be backed up in the cloud as regularly as 15-minute intervals, minimizing data losses in disaster situations. Small data set recovery time is improved.
Weaknesses
The costs of the data recovery could outweigh the benefits for companies that are not as dependent on uptime and instant recovery.
Every organization will have a limit to data that can be stored in the cloud due to storage availability and cost.
If the Internet goes down on your side or on your cloud providerâs side, you wonât have access to any of your information.
Full data recovery could prove very time-consuming and impactful on systems.
Opportunities
Update with newer technologies and virtual machine templates.
Automation and removal of human intervention for certain tasks
Expansion of product offerings with new hardware availability
Threats
Technical failure at host site (cloud).
Identity theft
Economic slowdown causing losses due to dependency
Closure of cloud vendor services
Provider hacks or privacy breach

So large Data that it becomes difficult to process it using the Traditional Systems. In most enterprise scenarios the volume of data is too big or it moves too fast or it exceeds current processing capacity. Despite these problems, big data has the potential to help companies improve operations and make faster, more intelligent decisions.
STRUCTURE CHARACTERISTICS CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud Computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet. Cloud Computing providers such as Amazon Web Services own and maintain the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.
(AWS) is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon.com. Web services are sometimes called cloud services or remote computing services. The first AWS offerings were launched in 2006 to provide online services for websites and client- side applications
