The Cloud market in Australia has become a USD $20b market in just 10 years. It has successfully moved from the edge to the core; and is now considered a strategic imperative and a board level topic.

But adopting Cloud is far from simple. In fact, around 63% of Cloud projects fail to deliver expected or desired value. And in our experience, when this occurs one of three core scenarios play out:

Scenario 1: Struggling to realise the full value of cloud

Historical cloud migrations and projects have struggled to deliver against the original business case. There may be some negative sentiment and/or a lack of confidence from technology leadership towards cloud, but the business continues to seek cloud orientated solutions.

Scenario 2: Struggling to drive cloud adoption and scale

Historical cloud migrations and projects have delivered value in specific pockets of the organisation, however cloud centric “ways of working” are not being scaled across the broader business – with application teams reverting back to data centre centric and legacy practices.

Scenario 3: Need to uplift cloud governance and compliance

Historical cloud migrations and projects have been successful, acting as a catalyst for organisational wide adoption of cloud. However, limited standards or controls have been defined, leading to a growing challenge regarding cloud governance. Common examples include increasing and uncontrolled cloud spend, limited standards and repeatability and minimal compliance insight and reporting.

If your organisation relates to one or more of these scenarios, Versent can help.
