While much is written about choosing the right cloud infrastructure and platforms, it is just as crucial for enterprise IT managers to understand how to deliver customer-facing services once that cloud is built. By creating turnkey cloud offerings services targeted at a variety of functional and business units in the enterprise, it empowers these groups to better serve their own customers and create products faster. From application developers to marketing to engineering, each business group has their own specific usage requirements for self-service and ongoing utilization of cloud environments. By developing an ongoing, cohesive customer-centric cloud management strategy, IT will drive both adoption and increase your return on investment.
