Appirio Cloud Enablement Suite

Feel like your cloud solutions are being developed the same old way?

Cloud platforms are fundamentally different than on-premise technology. Rapidly evolving cloud platforms enable you to move quickly. They are multi-tenant and have stable APIs. What you learn from one project can be applied to future projects. And, cloud platforms make it possible to tap into development talent anywhere in the world. Yet, most cloud projects are run like traditional projects with waterfall plans, limited reuse, few metrics, and heavy onsite teams. Do you ever wonder how much more efficient and innovative you could be if you started with the knowledge of thousands of cloud projects, could tap into a global developer community, and could optimize your solution using diagnostics and metrics from other cloud innovators?

Solution: Appirio's Cloud Enablement Suite

Appirio's Cloud Enablement Suite is an integrated suite of applications, assets, analytics and a crowdsourcing community to implement, manage, and measure enterprise cloud initiatives. With the Cloud Enablement Suite, Appirio's cloud experts and customers can get started quickly with assets from thousands of past projects, tap into the talent of a global developer community, and measure themselves against the best in the industry. This means we can deliver high-quality, innovative solutions, quickly and consistently.

The Cloud Enablement Suite has four components:

• Cloud Management Center (CMC) is an application that enables agile development and is the control panel for the rest of the Cloud Enablement Suite. CMC provides templates that capture the collective knowledge of thousands of cloud projects, tools to manage agile development and resourcing, easy ways to find relevant assets from past projects, and metrics to monitor progress and quality.
• Cloud Assets include cloud connections (such as CloudFactor, which brings together Google and Salesforce), reusable components, development tools and utilities, and best practices and methodologies from past projects.
• Cloud Metrics provides consultants and customers with access to benchmarks, diagnostics, and development trends from across our customer base and cloud community.
