Our proven methodology: Cloud Foundation Maturity Model (CFMM)
Build your cloud foundation along a clearly structured roadmap
The biggest problem with cloud transformation is the immense complexity. To master these, we developed the Cloud Foundation Maturity Model. Its tried-and-tested solution modules implement common organizational and technical requirements for a cloud foundation.
We assess your Cloud Foundation maturity against over 50 building blocks in five Pillars. With the Pillars, we cover all the important topics relevant to building a successful Cloud Foundation:
- Tenant Management
- Identity & Access Management
- Security & Compliance
- Cost Management
- Service Ecosystem
In addition to the pillars, the building blocks of the model bring further structure to your cloud roadmap:
- Maturity level: Which expansion level of a topic is targeted in the next step (Essential, Recommended, Best Practice, Advanced, Industry-Leading)?
- Scope: Is this a cross-cloud issue? Does it need to be solved specifically for each cloud platform (e.g. Azure, Google)? Or even for a group of use cases (e.g. artificial intelligence, health data or similar)?
- Automatisierungsgrad: Aktueller und angestrebter Automatisierungsgrad: Manuell, semi-automatisch oder vollautomatisiert?
A cloud strategy based on the CFMM thus leads to a very precisely specified and yet scalable cloud governance.
