Transforming business models and processes can yield
substantial, measurable value to both business units and
IT organizations. Leveraging the cloud can help you:
– Focus on your core business and worry less about
day-to-day operations
– Enable next-generation IT delivery models such as
agile software development, continuous delivery,
and DevOps
– Drive new cost efficiencies and reduce capital
expenditures on technology equipment
– Leverage top technical talent increasingly attracted
to cloud providers
– Rapidly adjust IT capacity to meet business demand
without the burden of capacity planning
– Deliver highly scalable and transparent IT
– Expand globally and in new markets at a lower
initial cost
– Rapidly deploy disruptive technologies—such as
mobile, data and analytics, Internet of Things, and
cognitive computing—at a lower entry cost
The cloud changes the way businesses:
– Innovate and experiment
– Generate new revenue
– Access technology
– Manage IT finance
– Build IT operating models
– Compete for talent
– Enter new markets
– Mitigate risk and comply with regulations
– Interact with vendors.
KPMG LLP (KPMG) and Microsoft can help
you harness these opportunities and transform
your business.
Cloud is a reality today, and its adoption is rapidly accelerating. According to
International Data Corporation (IDC), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and
Platform as a Service (PaaS) will increase at a five-year compounded annual
growth rate of 27.0 percent and 30.6 percent, respectively.

Strategy
What business problems can the cloud solve? Which
business processes and technology services should I
move to the cloud, and is it economically feasible to do
so? Will the cloud impact my existing operating model?
If so, how does my company transform?
Successful cloud adoption starts with a broad strategy
and road map, and a successful cloud strategy requires
a broad analysis of the business and technical drivers
and outcomes. Through a cloud strategy consulting
engagement, KPMG and Microsoft professionals
can help clients better understand the use cases for
cloud technology, the business case and financial
impact of leveraging cloud, the impact that adopting
cloud services can have on the organization, and the
target operating model required to help maximize the
transformation opportunity.
Compliance & Security
What are the regulatory, compliance, and security
requirements of moving to the cloud? Is my cloud
solution in compliance with industry regulations such
as HIPAA, FINRA, FedRAMP/FISMA, and SOX? How
do I architect security to protect against cyber threats?
The Cloud Compliance & Security engagement
addresses your concerns about security, compliance,
business, technology architecture, and operations.
It provides detailed planning to advance your cloud
transformation journey. At the end of the engagement,
you can expect to have frameworks for governance
and compliance as well as a plan for cloud security
architecture and design.
Architecture & Integration
What are the business and technical requirements for
the cloud? How do I architect a hybrid cloud? How do
I select a vendor from the cloud ecosystem? What are
the impacts of cloud transformation on my enterprise
architecture and information management?
The Cloud Architecture & Integration engagement
can help you define the specifics of your cloud
solution including enterprise architecture, application
integration, process automation, data security, and
information management. It considers the legacy
environment and leverages Microsoft Azure, Office
365, and other technologies to deliver improved
scalability and agility, location and technology
independence, resiliency, security, financial flexibility,
and business innovation enablement.
Cloud Management
How will I manage a hybrid cloud environment? Will it
affect my existing environment and resources? How
do I ensure that my company realizes the operational
benefits of the cloud? How and when should I migrate
application workloads to the cloud?
The Cloud Management engagement eases your
move to the cloud with foundational IT management
capabilities and tool sets. Whether you are moving
to a public, private, or hybrid cloud environment,
this engagement will help you determine how to
implement and migrate to the new environment; how
to manage the new IT architecture, services, and
financials; and how to ensure security and governance.

common goal, KPMG’s detailed, methodical Cloud

you from strategy and high-level solution design
all the way through solution implementation and
continuous improvement.
