World Wide Technology has developed and validated a program to accelerate the implementation of cloud centers of excellence at the enterprise level. Our CCoE Accelerator program is split into three phases, the length of which is determined by each client's level of cloud maturity and business goals:

Phase 1: Planning

The initial stage focuses on discovery and education, organization and charter creation. Activities include:

• Educating stakeholders on CCoE principles.

• Developing a baseline understanding of your current state of cloud maturity.

• Establishing a CCoE core team structure, plus identifying an executive sponsor and the core team members of the CBO and cloud engineering teams.

• Creating a CCoE charter that includes your vision, mission, objectives, scope of operations, and key policies and processes.

• Determining a staffing plan and RACI chart.

• Defining metrics to measure CCoE progress and success.

Phase 2: Establishing

This stage focuses on building the CCoE and cloud knowledge transfer. Activities include:

• Establishing CCoE meeting schedules and agendas.

• Establishing a CCoE knowledge repository.

• Developing CCoE policy, procedures and standards.

• Creating an actionable high-level CCoE roadmap.

• Documenting, guiding and advising on work that enables your CCoE to assume ownership and responsibility.

Phase 3: Reporting

The final stage of our CCoE Accelerator program focuses developing and reviewing agreed upon engagement deliverables and presenting them via executive briefing. As always, our goal is consistent client collaboration that provides execution transparency closely aligned to the achievement of business goals and engagement objectives.
