The document discusses cloud transformation and provides the following key points:
- Most enterprises now use multiple cloud environments and providers.
- Only 20% of enterprise workloads have moved to the cloud to date.
- There are three phases of cloud technology adoption: public cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud.
- Cloud transformation requires multiple concurrent approaches to minimize risk while leveraging new and existing investments.
Welcome to Cloud Expo Europe
We know that technology enabled change is on the boardroom agenda for all businesses.
As this year’s theme is “supercharging your cloud”, I’m especially happy to be with you today and share with you a bit of IBM’s point of view around cloud and what we’re seeing with our clients’ journeys.
Over the past decade, cloud has become integral to nearly every digital, and business transformation strategy, allowing enterprises access the latest technologies like IoT, high performance computing, and blockchain from virtually any vendor to reimagine business processes and ecosystems.
Its allowed enterprises to tap into more sources of data, both their own as well as partner, social, weather, and other data sources, plus new ways to analyze it. New algorithms, machine learning and AI are driving new insights that enable more engaging, personalized client experiences, all while extending the value of existing investments.
Yet even with this ability to source more innovation and data from more from more places, only 20% of enterprise workloads have moved to date.
The question is why?
Because cloud not only creates all these new opportunities, it also creates a new reality for IT leaders. A hybrid, multiloud world.
In fact, 94% of enterprises today have multiple clouds – mixing public, private, dedicated and countless SaaS applications, and that trend will continue, with rapid growth in all three flavors of cloud through at least 2020. All while continuing to make significant investments in traditional IT.
This presents some new challenges and concerns for IT leaders, that must operate and maintain business as usual, even with more complex, hybrid and multicloud environments.
82% are concerned about how they will connect all of these clouds, and traditional IT.
73% need better ways to move apps, workloads and data between these clouds more effectively.
67% worry about how they will manage this new mix of cloud and environments in a consistent way, across vendors, without introducing new security and compliance risks.
Even for those looking to aggressively move more to the cloud today, it will be a journey.
Until now, the emphases for cloud has been on the easy stuff:
Migrating relatively simple apps and workloads to IaaS to lower costs.
And using public cloud to innovate with new technologies and extend existing apps.
And even that has not been without challenges.
Lift and shift everything to cloud and sort it out later models (like AWS) have resulted is massive unexpected costs for complex workloads, sometime as much as 5 times projected (costs: preparing, moving data, integrating to back office, etc).
Developing new apps and taping into SaaS from more vendors has created new tech silos, making it difficult to manage security, compliance, resiliency, and govern across vendors and clouds.
Build 2:
So what’s next? Modernization of existing applications is the next big wave. In fact, according to a recent forrester study, the number 1 priority for enterprises digital transformation is modernizing the up to 80% of existing mission critical apps. And those that successfully do, are seeing real benefits in the form of greater agility and readily accessible data needed to create new insights more quickly.

Increase your delivery velocity along the journey.
Containerized middleware and applications are key to moving to modern development and operations approaches.
An integrated, container-native operations and DevOps platform is a requirement.
Create new capabilities by leveraging APIs.
APIs allow incremental creation of value to extend current application ecosystems.
VM based assets are part of an overall modernization solution.
Establish a cloud strategy to adopt, transform, and deliver value—then turn it into a roadmap you can follow.
IBM is the leader in hybrid, multicloud for the enterprise.
In fact, we wrote the book on cloud adoption -- literally. Based on our extensive experience moving enterprise applications, and workloads to the cloud, the Cloud Adoption Playbook spells out the key criteria enterprise should consider to effectively profile, prioritize and move apps to the right cloud model.
And only IBM gives you a long list of unique advantages to help you journey to cloud:
Migrate & modernize on the best fit model
Consistently develop & deploy on any cloud
Securely integrate & manage hybrid, multicloud
Access more data sources, analytics, AI/ML
Unmatched industry expertise, methods & tools
Emerging tech: IoT, blockchain, HPC -60 datacenters
These are just a few European clients with whom we’ve worked to accelerate their digital transformation with the cloud
Some clients like Ilmarinen Insurance moved to Cloud first by containerizing monolithic applications providing a path for modernizing and leveraging befits such as faster releases.

Another client in the financial industry, Alior Bank, first moved to the cloud to better adhere to changing regulations – often times security and compliance are stronger in the cloud
https://www.ibm.com/case-studies/alior-bank
One commonality I see across many of these clients is that once they get to the cloud with a specific use case, their journey speeds up by leveraging innovation services available on the IBM Cloud
For example: Kone Elevators integrating IoT capabilities on the cloud to remotely monitor and optimize management of more than 1.1 million elevators and escalators in buildings worldwide.

There are many healthcare examples, one right here in the UK, using process management in the cloud to optimize organ donations. And other leveraging Watson and IoT to improve heart stress levels

Other companies such as Assima, Osio University and Caixa Bank are implanting AI with chat bots and machine learning to create smarter employees and enhanced client / student experiences.

OSRAM looked to digital transformation in the cloud as a way to take advantage of changing market conditions. They really needed cloud to enable their innovation and transformation agendas.
First, they chose IBM Cloud because of it’s global footprint, security and complicance record.
Next, for them they wanted a managed service to begin with to free up their resources – IBM SAP Cloud expertise. Moved all of their SAP workloads to IBM Cloud.
As their Multicloud strategy evolved, they worked wit IBM to migrate all of their non-SAP workloads to IBM Cloud, leveraging our Vmware technology and expertise and bare metal servers.
Some of their benefits include savings of7 figures annually – and ability to be more nimble in the marketplace and react to trends.
