Respond to growth or change

A Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) or a Cloud Team can help to express and manage the cloud strategy you are following based on your governance policies and will assist to coordinate across different teams to set up governance, and assist in architecting the cloud environment and new workloads that will be deployed on the cloud. A CCoE or a Central Cloud Team, will drive the established standards across your organization helping to drive cloud adoption within your organization. Additionally, the CCoE can perform the function of a training and certification enabler for the teams across your organization.

Thinking about your home region is not always something that is done once at the start of your cloud journey. Situations can arise such as a merger or acquisition of another company, or an expansion of your company into other geographic regions that may cause you to revisit the regions where you operate and run cloud workloads. To respond to these kinds of events, there are external vendors, partners, and products that can be used to help unlock your journey. However, processes to procure products through marketplaces or establishing relationships with preferred Partner(s) or Professional Services will allow you to quickly use industry standard and backfill the skill sets you need to deploy and operate your environment. A CCoE can help coordinate these relationships for your organization, and help make the right products available to the necessary teams.
