When planning a new cloud initiative, there are several readiness issues that need
to be addressed. An essential knowledge set and specialized proficiencies must be
demonstrated as your organization sorts through the confusing terminology and marketing
“fluff” surrounding cloud computing.
The SHI Cloud Power Start ensures that you have the comprehensive framework and
proficiency needed to start a cloud initiative.

Through this pre-planning engagement, we assess enterprise cloud readiness and provide
the following reports:
- Mapping of findings into a Cloud Maturity model that provides a single view
of gaps/issues
- Heat map highlighting the gaps/issues in cloud readiness that should be addressed
first
- Scorecard on cloud readiness in the areas of People, Process, Technology
and Business Management
- High level recommendations on how to address major gaps/issues of cloud readiness

- Gather information using automated tools, interviews and available documentation
- Review gathered information with customer and validate findings through optional
second round of interviews
- Analyze cloud readiness and create scorecard, heat map and cloud maturity
matrix
- Provide high level recommendations and timeline to close major gaps in cloud
readiness
