Cloud Operating Model

Balance existing operations with cloud innovation to unlock value and minimize disruption.

Cloud Chaos is Costing You - But It Doesn’t Have To.

76% of cloud initiatives stall due to siloed teams, unclear ownership, and poor governance.
Without a structured cloud operating model, organizations face ballooning costs, inconsistent performance, and constant firefighting. CNET Global’s Cloud Operating Model Services bring structure, agility, and control to your cloud operations—so you can scale confidently, innovate faster, and operate with precision.

Why Build a Cloud Operating Model?

Core Components of a Cloud Operating Model

Strategic Vision

1. Align cloud adoption with business goals (e.g., digital transformation, customer experience).
2. Define outcomes like operational agility or cost optimization.

Operational Balance

1. Integrate cloud services with legacy systems to maintain continuity.
2. Modernize workflows incrementally (e.g., automate processes, adopt serverless architectures).

Governance & Compliance

1. Implement policies for security, cost control, and regulatory adherence.
2. Monitor performance through KPIs (e.g., deployment speed, uptime).

Cultural Readiness

1. Upskill teams to operate in hybrid or fully cloud environments.
2. Foster collaboration between IT, DevOps, and business units.

The Cloud Operating Model Methodology

Assess Current State

1. Evaluate existing processes, tools, and skills.
2. Identify gaps between current operations and cloud-ready workflows.

Define the Model

1. Set a vision for cloud adoption aligned with business priorities.
2. Prioritize capabilities like automation or FinOps.

Implement & Iterate

1. Pilot modernized workflows in low-risk environments.
2. Refine the model based on feedback and metrics.

Scale Sustainably

1. Expand successful pilots across the organization.
2. Continuously optimize using data-driven insights.
