Customer Success Matrix • The Customer Success Matrix (CSM) has been created through our extensive experience with large global enterprises adopting AWS, to provide a programmatic framework for customers and AWS to partner around to: § Accelerate enablement activities § Establish the organisation, processes and governance required, based on the stage of adoption § Ensure adoption of AWS is successful in achieving the businesses goals.

One Day CSM Workshop Output – Key Takeaways While solid cloud development, deployment, and run action plans are in place for ensuring a secure, performant, cost optimized, reliable, and well-operated AWS environment, current EC2 and cloud native workloads require an AWS Well Architected Review (WAR). Governance Business Cost optimization and cost management improvements for the current AWS environments are necessary. The ROI and TCO for re-platforming existing on-premises customers to AWS needs to be completed. Training not consistently tracked, designed or executed across organizations. Business and field sales engineering focused AWS training needs to be delivered by AWS.People Opportunity to leverage AWS standardized/best practices run time environments (AWS Landing Zone, AWS Control Tower, AWS Quickstarts). Opportunity for co-development with AWS service teams regarding edge computing, serverless, integration, and IoT. Platform Security Solid vision with several initiatives underway. However, full deployment, including integration with the application pipeline, will occur in the future. Additional application security controls are required. Operations Many solutions are being considered to provide an operations single pane of glass. A unified management and operations platform, with showback and chargeback capabilities, is needed.

Discussion and Next Steps § Can the the CSM Matrix question be helpful during a pre-transaction TDD ? § Is CAF Envision useful post-transaction to identify migration projects or potential disruptive initiatives ? § Can CAF Alignment be used to overcome impediments to cloud adoption in post-transaction ? § Is the 2 day post-transaction workshop interesting as a post close next step for AWS and partner ? § Are there companies you are engaged with today that could benefit from the 2 day workshop ?
