The document discusses the concept of "the cloud" and how it refers to the integration of different cloud types. It presents a model of cloud layers including infrastructure, platform, software, process, and security/identity layers. The cloud types include insourced, outsourced, hybrid, internal perimeterized silos, and external deperimeterized models. Transitioning processes and services to the cloud will require categorizing business needs, determining the required level of abstraction, selecting appropriate cloud types and layers, designing new architectures, and defining capabilities and services.

1. The Big Cube
These slides focus on :
“The Cloud”
The four changes that are hitting us at the same time!
Five, if you count Web 3.0 which is seemingly arriving
in parallel to Web 2.0

“The Cloud” could be said to refer to all the Cloud Types as an integrated whole.
Though we are clearly far from this state of affairs at present.

7. Some basic rules
• Categorise your business processes/outcomes
• Decide the level of abstraction required
1st,2nd,3rd, or Last!
• Decide in which cube(s) and cube colour you
want them to operate in
• Design your future state architecture to
accomodate these changes (if there are any)
• Define the capabilities and services you need
• Define the transformation map
• IMPLEMENT

9. Getting there will not be easy!
WE are hitting 4-5 new S2 curves at the same time..... MUCH CHANGE!!
Will need careful planning
