Setting the ground work for transformation
EDUCAUSE: Develop an IT architecture that can respond to
changing conditions and new opportunities
• One of the key challenges and opportunities facing IT leaders is
how to optimize the mix of technology services delivered from
on-premise, cloud, or hosted sources.
• IT leaders are challenged to integrate these discrete services and
systems into a holistic environment that is usable and secure,
scales to meet demand, provides for multiple integration points,
and can be integrated back to provide useful data for decision-
making.

Somebody who’s got 100,000 square feet under

cost-effectively than I can manage 10,000 square feet.”
- Barry Libenson, CIO, Safeway
There is no better time to be in IT than now. I think its in
the midst of a dramatic reformation or transformation.”
-Ranga Jayaraman, CIO Stanford Business School
A CIO has to simplify their architecture, change the way
that they react to business problems and become almost
an app shop themselves and get out of their own way.”

What is a Cloud Services Broker (Cloud manager)
An internal or external function that manages relationships across
technologies and providers and is responsible for delivering a unified,
integrated experience across them.
Gartner: Estimates annual spending of over $1.5 billion1
– Roles include: aggregation, integration and customization brokerages
Forrester: Cloud management is different from traditional IT
management. As cloud manager, you will be
– a broker, orchestrator, and administrator of cloud services,
– some of which will run on infrastructure you own, but most of which won’t
– Developers are a key focus
