which scalable, IT-enabled capabilities are

delivered as a service to customers using

Commitments on KPIs often

become part of contracts

KPIs are available for

customers in real time

During definition phase

specific KPIs for

performance, scalability,

etc. need to be defined

The specific KPIs need to be the leading

paradigms for software architecture.

KPI measurement needs to be an integral

part of the service.

Testing service needed to meet KPIs

before release of service to customer.

KPIs are monitored continuously.

Recommended actions (or better

automated steps) for threshold

passing are available.

Learnings will lead to new

requirements for development.

Again - What is cloud?

surprises. “

Stranded capacity things that are paid for, but not really used …

IT leaders should learn to focus not just on uptime and availability,

but also on capacity, utilization and density
