Capgemini\u2019s Ryan Murphy weighed in with his own contrarian thinking and commented on  grounding your hybrid cloud strategy in business realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-environment approaches \u2013 such as hybrid cloud and multi-cloud \u2013 should be fueled by business goals, talent, and technology, says Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe focus needs to be on business objectives and approaches to achieve their vision,\u201d Murphy says. Is the company looking to do acquisitions, spin off a business, start a new business unit, or save money? Answering these key questions lays the foundation for making technology decisions that are unencumbered by legacy assets. Different objectives have different business attributes, and therefore different technology attributes are needed to support them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking a business-centric approach to major technical and architectural decisions (such as hybrid cloud) can also help seed the agility that today\u2019s IT teams increasingly need from the start \u2013 rather than just demanding teams \u201cbe more agile\u201d after the fact to keep up with significant changes to technology strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery business is different and has different requirements, but start with the \u2018art of the possible\u2019 \u2013 what are the desired business outcomes? This lays the foundation for the applications, infrastructure, and personnel,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cThis also enables the business to be more integrated and connected, which is what separates those who are fast, agile, responsive, and efficient from those who aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
