Responsive
Technology Objectives - Enhance service delivery, improve resource utilization, remove redundancy, improve productivity and responsiveness
Leverage Wikis, Blogs, Social networks, Mashups, Video tools and related SERVICES for jobs, campaigns, fund raising, education, marketing, payments etc.

4. Technology Strategy and Vision
CIOs, CTOs and Leaders should enhance the flexibility and efficiency of infrastructure and applications
CIOs and CTOs must create value and realize cost savings through Lean Technology
IT operations should be transitioned to HIGH VALUE, AGILE solutions by effective Change Management, Governance and Innovation

5. Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture
Enterprise SOA is a blueprint for a flexible, open IT architecture and for developing services-based, enterprise level business solutions
Enterprise SOA results in higher efficiency and reduced cost due to a higher degree of modularity and decoupling
SOA achieves interoperability and provides the basis for integration between applications
SOA promotes reuse, agility, adaptability, manageability, increases productivity 5

6. Enterprise Cloud Computing
Standardized, scalable, elastic capabilities delivered dynamically as services that can be measured
On demand self service, broader network access, resource pooling
Ability to scale computing power dynamically  
Cloud computing can result in
Reduced cost
Increased storage, automation
Enhanced mobility and flexibility

8. SOA and Cloud SOA – Leverages loosely coupled integrated services
Cloud – Delivery mechanism for services
SOA and Cloud are Complementary
SOA focuses on architectural principles , Cloud focuses on deployment principles for the organization
SOA is a KEY enabler for CLOUD deployments

9. SOA Cloud Orchestration
SOA enables an effective transition to the Cloud
External Cloud data can create complex connection issues
Orchestration manages complex cross domain processes and components
The objective is to develop Flexible, Modular, Agile Services based on Open Interfaces

10. Cloud Orchestration
Integration is a key element in a hybrid Environment where services are invoked from many sources
Cloud applications have to be effectively integrated with non-cloud deployments
The Cloud Lifecycle includes the following:
Set up cloud services
Assemble components
Monitor and scale
Chargeback

11. The Federated Cloud
Federation brings together different cloud services and internal resources
Provides Convergence of services
Provide interfaces to other cloud services and management of the interfaces
Organizations can select services based on requirements, workload
The key to Federation is openness and interoperability 11

13. Lean Technology
Lean Technology is supported by Agile, SOA, virtualization and cloud deployments
Lean Technology promotes value enhancement and waste reduction
Value streams are services supported by Technology
The focus is on cost savings and reuse

15. Enterprise Services Platform with Cloud and SOA15

16. 25 Point Implementation Plan
The 25 point implementation plan includes Cloud and SOA
Shift to a “Cloud First” policy
Cloud Strategy
Migration to Cloud technologies
Develop a strategy for shared services
Benchmarks on usage
SLA’s
Launch a Best Practices collaboration Program
Sharing Best practices

17. Federal Cloud Computing Strategy
The Federal Cloud Computing Strategy focuses on the following aspects:
Utilization of a decision Framework for services – Select, Provision, Manage
Leaders can facilitate cloud adoption by - Leveraging Cloud Accelerators, Ensuring a Secure and Trustworthy Environment, Streamlining Procurement processes, Establishing Cloud computing standards, Recognizing internal dimensions, Laying down a solid governance foundation

18. The Agile SOA and Cloud Environment
Agile SOA and Cloud environment is based on the following:
Fast paced environment
Shifting priorities, Changing requirements
Quick delivery required
Constant changes within and outside the team
Agile Management is based on the following:
Evolutionary, Time based
Incremental Change, collaboration
Process adaptability

21. Program Success for SOA and Cloud
Planning – Business Case, Operational readiness, Architecture, Security, SLA’s chargeback
Design and Implementation – Technology, Tools, Security, Orchestration
Monitoring – Process enhancements, Architecture and Security reviews

22. Program Success for SOA and Cloud
Establish a Vision that aligns Business with Technology
Collaborate extensively with Business Owners, Business Analysts, SOA Architects, Architects
Define the SOA, Agile, Cloud Computing Roadmap
Conduct detailed analysis of the business domain, functions, processes, interactions, events
Measure results and implement continuous improvements

23. Program Success for SOA and Cloud
Develop Standard Operating Procedures and Service Level Agreements
