Organize I&O for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service

CIOs demand cloud capabilities for digital business; however, current legacy infrastructure and operations organizational structures are often insufficient. I&O leaders with technology-centric structures should reorganize I&O for the cloud, starting with a virtual team approach. I&O leaders who want to organize for the cloud to optimize IT operations and drive business value should: Create a cross-functional, virtual team to build I&O cloud skills by including staff with well defined specializations who have the interest and aptitude to learn new technologies. Make I&O organization functional changes by redeploying virtual team members once they achieve versatilist status, and the workload justifies FTE-level efforts. Scale staffing across cloud and non-cloud teams by adopting an I&O product orientation that reduces cost and time-to-value for application development and lines of business. Request Free!
