What Resources and Tools Do You Need to Build and Manage a CCoE?

A Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) is a centralized team responsible for developing governance frameworks and best practices for company-wide adoption, improving cloud outcomes, managing risk, and optimizing usage against costs. To build or manage a CCoE, it's essential to recognize that cloud adoption is a continual transformational process requiring a change in mindset and acceptance from stakeholders. Assessing current cloud operations, establishing a mandate, building a team with strong technical expertise, promoting cloud best practices through education programs, and leveraging KPIs and reporting tools are key resources to consider. Cloud resource automation tools can help maximize CCoE support for continual transformation by continuously improving tasks and optimizing cloud strategy, outcomes, risk management, and spend.
