助力云转型成功的企业云战略秘诀

Pluralsight 的2023 年云状态报告发现，大多数组织正在迁移到云。然而，70% 的领导者缺乏明确的云战略，这可能会阻碍他们的云转型并阻止他们通过投资创造价值。

Pluralsight 首席云策略师 Drew Firment 与 Evertz 工程副总裁 Jeremy Blythe 进行了交谈，探讨了他们为实现组织成功而采用的云策略技巧。

• 成功云转型的 3 个层面
  • 高管：迁移到云时应使云战略与业务目标保持一致
  • 计划：创建具有策略和成功指标的云采用框架
  • 个人：提供云资源和技能计划，为学习者提供支持
• 助力组织成功的云培训

Drew 和 Jeremy 从三个层面讨论了云端的组织成功：执行、项目和个人。

成功进行云迁移的第一步是将云战略与总体业务目标保持一致。否则，几乎不可能获得高管的支持并实现整个组织的云转型。

Jeremy 引用了他在 Evertz 进行数字化转型的经验。在开始云迁移之前，他们需要知道他们可以安全地进行实验和犯错。“[云转型] 涉及大量研发和大量实验以及来自高管层的支持，因此我们可以尝试，也可以失败。如果没有这种级别的高管支持，我们就不会取得今天的成就，”Jeremy 解释道。

当团队从定制硬件解决方案转向云软件解决方案时，领导者为他们提供了所需的支持。这使该组织能够处理高质量的实时视频并始终处于创新的前沿。他们在云技术方面的开创性努力甚至为他们赢得了艾美奖，并展示了云对大型企业的潜力。

执行层涉及制定云战略，解决您想要做什么以及为什么这样做的问题。计划层侧重于如何在实践中利用云计算实现您的目标。 

Successful cloud adoption requires best practices, governance frameworks, optimization processes, reporting mechanisms, and comprehensive learning programs. Organizations need these elements to measure their progress, report back to leadership, and sustain executive buy-in when they move to cloud computing. 

The heart of the program layer is the people. Since Evertz began their cloud adoption journey in 2015, their experience with cloud services like serverless computing and microservice architecture has allowed them to continue to grow. This has created more demand for cloud skills within the organization.

To address this need, Evertz creates cross-functional teams to learn and work together. “We’re creating cross-functional teams where we mix in core folks and people from learning groups working together with the same combined mission,” said Jeremy. “The ultimate goal is that the ownership goes back to the team that’s learning so you can go around again, and they can train the next team.”

Ultimately, the success of any cloud strategy lies in the individuals who use the technology. At the individual layer, teams need access to the right learning resources to drive personal career growth and organizational success.

Consider curated learning journeys personalized to individual goals and hands-on labs, modern tech leadership programs, boot camps, and sandbox environments to foster experiential learning. 

Evertz works to address skills gaps through its Hello World project, which teaches someone how to build a serverless microservice that fits the company’s event-driven architecture. Leveraging platforms like Pluralsight Skills, they provide training that accelerates the onboarding process and reduces pressure on senior engineers.

Success in the cloud isn’t just about adopting the latest technology. It’s about aligning cloud strategies with company-wide goals, building executive buy-in, and providing opportunities to learn and grow. As the cloud continues to drive digital transformation and innovation, industry leaders who embrace these strategies will push their organizations ahead.
