Complexity, New Tech & Model Stall Progress“By 2025, more than 90% of enterprise cloud infrastructure
and platform environments will be based on a CIPS
offering from one of the top four public cloud hyperscale
providers.1”

Public Cloud IaaS is Complex• ~100 decisions need to be made to create a
unified, secure, scalable and extendable cloud
foundation• Missteps in set up can lead to serious security
risks, unscalable systems, and inefficiencies thatslow processes and progress“By 2026, 61% to 62% of organizations will use external
service providers to establish a net new cloudenvironment.2”• Each organization has unique needs: there is nostandard framework

Reduce Risk and Time to Value For Cloud Initiatives
Increased Speed and Security•••

Five-day engagement- Accelerate deployment of high-value applications with a ready-touse landing zone
Automate self-service - Reduce risk and time to create compliant new subscriptions withgoverned automation
Establish best security practices- Create a defensible security posture and reduce therisk of security breaches and vulnerabilities

Reduced Maintenance, Long-Term Agility•••

Azure managed & Landing Zone factory – Lower management burden to enable more
focus on strategic goals and reduced technical debt
Knowledge transfer – Save time with ready to use documentation. Gain long-term teamagility with training
Automate Deployment of Azure Security Center and Log Analytics - Reduce humanerrors and ensure consistent and secure account creation and operation© 2022 NTT DATA, Inc. All rights reserved.

Samples of Optional Work to Enhance Build Cloud Foundations

Set up Azure DevOps as the code
repository

Configure Azure DevOps pipeline togain a platform for improved businessagility, reduced maintenance, and lessrisk

Deploy hub virtual network for VNet toVNet communication and hybrid
connectivity to customer networks:
Supports a hybrid cloud model designed
and implemented to meet requirements

Deploy infrastructure for new application(Serverless, AKS) to ease the processof creating immutable infrastructure
automation, accelerating new
application development

Deploy Azure resources to support inscope applications such as IaaS, PaaS
and serverless functions, enabling newtechnologies to create competitive
differentiation

Migrate existing applications, and use
Azure managed services where it
makes sense Systems of innovation &differentiation are more nimble to thebusiness, while decreasing risk
