| With these offerings, HP intends to help customers source, secure and govern cloud services as an integral part of an IT strategy to meet business goals.
New cloud-related consulting services
The HP Cloud Discovery Workshop is designed to help enterprise IT organizations learn about the cloud as a strategic service delivery option and how to leverage it as part of a broader IT service delivery strategy. Expected to be available in July, the workshop is designed to:
• Educate customers on the cloud and multisourcing service delivery strategies;
• Outline promises, risks and implications of the cloud within the business; and
• Provide recommendations on people, process and technology for using the cloud as part of an IT and business strategy.
The HP Cloud Roadmap Service offers customers a service for planning and adopting cloud as part of their service delivery strategy. As a follow-on to the HP Cloud Discovery Workshop, the service will:
• Provide specific recommendations for how customers should use cloud delivery and deployment models as part of their service delivery strategy;
• Recommend the right service strategy, governance and program model to include the cloud in the customer technology environment; and
• Deliver a roadmap for cloud adoption, including a set of recommendations and benefits for what customers can achieve in practical and incremental steps.
