The advent of cloud computing is impacting every facet of the enterprise landscape. From the core infrastructure to the client-facing applications, the enterprise landscape is seeing the impact of the forces of change. Some enterprises are the leading harbingers of these transformations, while others are still trying to figure out where to start and what to do. Depending upon the maturity of the industry domain, the transformation journey can be very different. Some domains are the first to adopt technology trends (such as BFSI), while others wait for technology obsolescence to adopt new technology (manufacturing, utilities). In this chapter, we will cover the following:
- Mapping the application portfolio for digital transformation
- Breaking an existing monolithic application into a distributed cloud-native application
- Changes required at the process, people, and technology levels
- Building your own platform services (control versus delegation)
