Economic Application Portfolio Management offering on AWS

Mastering the old to move to the new

When it comes to formulating a move-to-cloud strategy, having a clear picture of the full IT landscape, its current state, how its serves the business and associated costs are essential to unlock the full business benefits of such a move. A well orchestrated migration to the cloud will not just reduce IT costs but also deliver greater value to the business in terms of increased agility, flexibility, security, and performance. In addition, migrating to the cloud is also being recognised as a key contribution of enterprises toward a greener planet, thanks to the better utilisation of computing resources and greater energy efficiencies of hyperscalers like AWS.

eAPM offering from Capgemini See a smarter path forward and elevate your cloud strategy

eAPM (economic Application Portfolio Management) is a cloud assessment and data driven decision-making framework that delivers a solid foundation on which you can base your cloud strategy in as little as 8 weeks. eAPM allows an analysis of the full IT landscape in order to help you shape your cloud strategy. The offering aggregates the relevant data from various sources and provides different lenses to analyse it in order to model and secure a transformation scenario addressing a CIO’s primary needs. eAPM is powered by a SaaS analysis and decision-making platform that brings together business, technology and cost dimensions in an integrated, visual way so that you can better analyse the impact of the cloud transformation and on-board stakeholders. It has been recognised by Gartner and Forrester as a unique asset in the market.

eAPM incorporates a powerful AI-enabled rules engine based on decision trees to determine the best migration path (or not) per application, incorporating your decision criteria. Using a structured, data-driven approach to optimise the migration process will help you simplify the complex decisions and find the right balance between “lift-and-shift” and redeployment to maximise business value.

eAPM together with our cloud migration experts build the migration waves and the business case. We support you through the process of migration preparation and migration leveraging our Cloud Migration Factory offering.

Case Study: Global Business Information Services Company

Challenges The client had divested its financial and risk business segment which required them to move their software products and applications and exit the datacentres of the divested entity within 24-month period. In parallel, the client was pursuing a cloud-first strategy for all newly developed products with AWS being its preferred cloud platform. Client had complexities of a highly federated organisation in which the technology could not fail because the technology was its business, and there was a complex supplier ecosystem that mapped to several hundred market products and software applications.         Solution Capgemini took data driven cloud assessment and migration approach with eAPM and performed a thorough Discovery exercise across 14,000 servers and almost 1000 applications using an automated discovery tool that provided the required data and did not impact the operational network latency. The solid foundation of data helped in modelling the migration planning exercise working with the product owners using decision tree simulations. This approach allowed us to reach consensus across the federated organisation on a migration plan detailing the migration pattern for each Product silo and how Capgemini, also running the migration program office and assurance services, would work with various Application Partners to validate and drive the completion of the program. Capgemini was also responsible for lift & shift and replatform patterns. Results Migration was successfully completed 3 months ahead of the schedule, thanks to our data led migration approach. In addition, the success of this program was also due to our client relationship, our experience in large scale cloud transformation and a pragmatic and collaborative approach. Capgemini’s cloud migration capability is a highly automated process which sped up deployment, testing and teardown of Infra thereby resulting in 30% faster turnaround in the migration cycle. The programme has been a great testimony to team working between Capgemini, AWS, customer and other IT partners.
