Tony Chan | June 25, 2009 | 0 Comments

HP unveiled a series of consulting services to help enterprise customers considering the adoption of cloud computing capabilities in their IT infrastructure. The new offerings, including the HP Cloud Discovery Workshop and HP Cloud Roadmap Service, are part of a larger portfolio of HP consulting services for enterprise customers looking at cloud services.

“While many organizations understand the core benefits of the cloud model, there remains a level of uncertainty to strategically leveraging the promise of cloud,” said Frank Gens, senior vice president and chief analyst, IDC. “HP’s consulting services are aimed at helping organizations evaluate cloud as part of their overall IT service delivery strategy to drive business results more efficiently.”

The HP Cloud Discovery Workshop will help enterprise IT organizations to learn about the cloud as a strategic service delivery option. Available in July, the workshop will educate IT managers on the cloud and multi-sourcing service delivery strategies, outline the benefits, risks and implications of the cloud within the business, and provide recommendations on people, process and technology for using the cloud as part of an IT and business strategy.

The HP Cloud Roadmap Service offers customers a service for planning and adopting cloud as part of thier service delivery strategy. This service provides specific recommendations for how customers should use cloud delivery and deployment models as part of their service delivery strategy, recommend the right service strategy, governance and program model and deliver a roadmap for cloud adoption.

“Despite the promise of cloud computing, organizations still need help in understanding how to leverage and enable the cloud as part of a service delivery strategy,” said Anand Eswaran, vice president, Software and Solutions Professional Services, HP. “HP cloud consulting services can address this knowledge gap by helping chief information officers optimize sourcing investments, develop strategies to deliver services faster while meeting service levels, and enable multichannel service delivery to align IT and the business.”
