DXC’s approach includes data analytics tools and methods to support business and technology change. We have led more than 1,000 cloud journey workshops focused on building, executing and managing enterprise plans. Our Hybrid Cloud Blueprint consists of six deliverables, delivered in 6 to 8 weeks:

• Application transformation recommendations. Make informed decisions about how applications should be transformed to magnify the benefits of the landing zones.
• Application/workload placement recommendations. Reliably predict the best options for workload optimization in private, public or hybrid environments through a cloud-agnostic landing zone evaluation. We assess service level, security and compliance parameters, technology fit and return on investment.
• IT operating model considerations. Maximize the benefits of transformation and avoid pitfalls by understanding the IT operating model changes required to effectively support your future hybrid state.
• IT policy considerations. Ensure that required security, controls, governance and placement rules are properly considered.
• Business case. Compare current- and future-state run costs, and application transformation/migration costs, to determine the most appropriate landing zones.
• High-level execution plan. Provide documentation to convince stakeholders of the need to change by providing a clear roadmap and timeline to execute hybrid transformation.
