Enhancing Cloud Measurement and Metrics: Key Insights and Best Practices
Dive into the critical role of measurement and governance in cloud services with Steven Woodward of Cloud Perspectives. This overview explores unique pricing models, the impact of consumer needs, and the importance of metrics in improving time to market, reducing costs, and enhancing customer experiences. Learn how effective governance can drive innovation and support sustainability goals. We also discuss the benefits of using established frameworks like ISO/IEC 20926 for quantifying service capabilities in cloud environments.

Price and Costing Models are Unique By provider By a potential broker Additional cost considerations (carrier, insurance) By the consumer needs (levels, geographic locations, “additional requests”) www.cloud-perspectives.com
Many Objectives Require Measurement and Governance Improved Time to Market Reduced Costs Improved Security Embrace Innovation Improve Customer Experience Improve Privacy Support “Green” Objectives www.cloud-perspectives.com
Cost vs Functionality New Deployment (Enterprise App) $2000 Cost $ Per Function/ Service $2 1 2000 Functionality/ Service Volume Deployed www.cloud-perspectives.com
Schedule vs Functionality New Deployment – EA 600 Days to Deployment Traditional SaaS 10 1 1 Functionality Volume Deployed 2000 www.cloud-perspectives.com
Ottawa “PRONTOFORMS” Example http://www.prontoforms.com/att/res/downloads/ProntoForms-WhitePaper-Buy-vs-Build.pdf • Workflow and forms management supporting multiple devices • 400 User deployment costs with some customization and first year maintenance • Evaluated vs traditional development environments such as Java • Evaluated equivalent functionality using ISO/IEC 20926 (functional sizing standard) • $1 million reduced to less than $100,000 (equivalent to development & deployment) • Time to deployment 12-16 months reduced to 5 to 60 days www.cloud-perspectives.com
Metrics and Governance – Key Considerations Help identify and categorize service inventories Quantify from different role perspectives Goal – Question – Metric The consumer responsible to collect needed measures/ metrics (SLAs, Rationalize) www.cloud-perspectives.com
“Wisdom” is the ability to discover alternatives; there are many ways to reach a solution. • Steven Woodward CFPS, CSQA • steve@cloud-perspectives.com • www.cloud-perspectives.com • 613-823-7573 www.cloud-perspectives.com
