Smarter benefits. Better health.
Cloud: A Matter of PerspectiveLonnie EmardAVP and Executive Director, IT-oLogy
ECC Conference June 12, 2012
Smarter benefits. Better health.
Promises of Cloud:» dizzying array of Applications Management options:
• Rapid provisioning of functional applications• Ability to adopt greater functionality
» A material change in the cost of technology that will change the way we use and employ IT
• Ability to rapidly ramp up or down resources• Lower capital requirements• Faster time to innovation
» Better security The problem is
» different definition, especially cloud vendors who tend to shape the definition based on their offerings.
» hope for a “silver bullet”
» increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing – too good to be true?
» doesn’t replace existing power horses And in the end, it is not about technology, it is about a Business Model.
Cloud Computing: “the phrase du jour”
Cloud Computing is based on improvements in “virtualization” technology, not on the entrance of a revolutionary technology
Real Life Example
Results # Physical Servers are shrinking # VM Servers are shrinking Almost half of Virtual Servers are
ZLinux Results:
» Lower Management Cost» Lower Power and Cooling Cost
Virtualization
No Cloud Required
Physical Server Installed Base
Cloud Computing is a business choice, not a technology choice

BEST PRACTICE FRAME WORK
EVALUATION METHOD MATURITY LEVEL SCORE
ITIL Self-Assessment 2006: 56% ITIL Levels Passed 2009: 80% ITIL Levels Passed
CMMI External Assessment Level 3 – Defined: processes are well characterized and understood, and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods.
CoBit Self-Assessment High Level Objectives Detail Level Objectives
Internal: 100% 97%
External (*) 100% 96%
(*) External Assessments are based on the number of CoBit Control Objectives considered in external audits because our reviews have found only 79% of the High Level Objectives and 82% of the Detail objectives are found in external audits. Therefore, a 100% rating on External Audits would be based on the 79% and 82% objectives respectively.
EAMM Self-Assessment Level 5: Indicated BCBSSC demonstrates the highest level of vitality through its current use of a combination of structured process, templates, and organizational fluidity.
ISO 9000 External Assessment Certified
