The challenge of adopting cloud

Adopting cloud is a tough challenge for communications service providers that typically have complex IT stacks with hundreds or even thousands of monolithic, legacy applications. CSPs also must adhere to rigid security and regulatory requirements, and manage vast amounts of personal data. And as large companies, they face substantial challenges undertaking the organizational change and mindset change that cloud entails.

Amdocs Cloud at Scale™ approach

Cloud at Scale™ is a proven methodology that was designed explicitly to help large, complex enterprises to adopt cloud and operate successfully on the cloud.

Cloud at Scale™ accelerates the time it takes to transform traditional data center-focused businesses into innovation-driven cloud-based enterprises. It drives automation without compromising on security, governance and compliance. It is founded on the realization that there is no practical alternative to massive automation to achieve the business and technical agility enterprises require.

Cloud at Scale™ achieves early wins and lays the foundation for an ongoing cloud adoption journey. We have helped over 40 large scale enterprises transform and experience the benefits of cloud.

At the heart of the approach is a common core infrastructure foundation and a pre-built secure and compliant, enterprise-grade virtual data center in the cloud, along with an initial set of pre-defined consumables (templates) that contain the enterprise’s security, compliance and deployment opinions. This virtual data center becomes the foundation on which the entire cloud journey is built. A streamlined migration process enables a migration factory approach to rapidly migrate hundreds and even thousands of apps to the cloud in a standardized manner.

A cloud at scale approach is led by central IT. A Cloud Center of Excellence determines tools, best practices and standards, and disseminates them through the organization. This enables employee mobility and prevents accumulations of technical debt.
