What is a Good Organizational Structure in the Cloud?
Outline
Without a well-thought-out organizational structure in the cloud, businesses risk sacrificing efficiency, security, and digital sovereignty. It’s a topic we often touch on in our conversations with customers. Blindly following the recommendations of cloud service providers isn’t always the best approach. When you try to mirror your company’s hierarchical structure – departments, regions, business units – into the cloud, you can face serious downsides. Through our experience, we’ve seen how a flatter hierarchy can help unleash potential, which might be trapped under layers of complicated hierarchies.
Crafting an organizational structure in the cloud can be full of challenges. This is why we’ve put together this whitepaper. It’s your map, meant to help you steer clear of pitfalls and show you what an effective structure should look like.
Summary
- Dig into the basics of cloud organization, understand how cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud structure their resources, and get your hands on a tried-and-tested model for organizing your cloud resources, whether it's AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions or Google Cloud projects.
- Discover why we don't strictly adhere to the organizational structure proposed by cloud providers, and see for yourself why our approach could be the right one for you.
- Finally, we walk you through an example – a real-life case study of Likvid Bank's mobile banking app. Here, we'll showcase how meshcloud can help build a streamlined organizational structure in the cloud, independent of the specific cloud service providers.
