A core value of the CBO is to provide industry best practices for cloud
migration, development, operations, security, and governance, ensuring
the success of your cloud transformation. This means we have a set of
shared processes that take place to solve common cloud problems. For
instance, leveraging an enterprise-wide security framework that lives up
to best practices, as well as a standard set of enterprise-wide security
mechanisms.
The CBO’s ability to provide a decision-making and governing body for
cloud use within the enterprise eliminates the need to go through layers of
leadership and organizations each and every time we need to make a decision around the use of cloud-based resources. For example, the ability to
select a public cloud provider for a set of workloads in just a week, versus
having scads of meetings that may take months to get to the end state
decision. The CBO also alleviates the issue of non-qualified personnel
making decisions they are ill-equipped to make.
The CBO is often confused with a Center of Excellence or Program Management Office, which are common within enterprises these days. The
CBO provides a resource for best practices and project control, and it has
the ability to integrate these concepts into actual execution of cloudbased migrations, and system development. One can compare the concepts of a CBO with those of Agile and DevOps, which focus on doing
rather than understanding and planning.
