Moving to the Cloud in Regulated Environments
A Value Engineering Approach
Dale Curtis - President
Laboratory Informatics Summit 2016
Enterprise workloads are rapidly moving
to the cloud …
“34% of enterprises will have 60% or more of their applications on a cloud platform within two years.”Source: 451 Research: Beyond Infrastructure – Cloud 2.0 Signifies New Opportunities for Cloud Service Providers (April 2015)
“By 2020, packaged software will shrink to 10% of new enterprise installations. In 2012, 60% of SaaS providers delivered services from do-it-yourself datacenters. By 2020, that number will be less than 50%. SaaS will begin to “live” in the cloud.”Source: IDC 50th Anniversary, Transformation Everywhere
But what about the lab?
What are the priorities?

It’s only a matter of time before your enterprise cloud adoption strategy finds its way to the lab.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED.

“The Cloud is more than ready for mission-critical
applications, but the majority of the applications
are not ready for the Cloud.”
-Les Pounder, Tech Journalist
….And the FDA’s lack of guidance on cloud
computing standards results in fear,
uncertainty and doubt.
MYTH. ALL APPS SHOULD MOVE TO THE CLOUD.
“Clearly, there are some use cases where there is a great fit. The cloud fits where value is placed on flexibility and the business has the ability to consume and pay for only what is
needed when needed. However, not all applications and workloads benefit from the cloud. Unless there are cost savings, moving a legacy application that doesn't change is not a good
candidate.”
-The Top 10 Cloud Myths, Gartner, October 2014
The Good News. Many apps (including laboratory apps) can run in the cloud. It’s just a question of how much time
and how many resources you’ll invest to get it there.
#1. You need a strategy and plan.
#2. That plan needs to drive value.
Changing our mindset
• This requires a mindset shift away from being overly fearful of regulatory demands to proactively seeking ways – like cloud solutions ‐ to drive quality.
• Migrating services to cloud solutions does contain regulatory risk, if done incorrectly. Although operations are outsourced, the responsibility and accountability for GxP compliance remains with the life sciences company.
Bottom Line: Quality is an investment, andcloud computing done right cancreate a sustainable competitive
advantage.
Benefits of the Cloud for the Lab
• R&D and compliance functions can gain tremendously from the integration of cloud‐based IT and data solutions.
• The impacts of developing these efficiencies through cloud solutions typically include better cost controls, faster cycle times, and increased data access. And in the long run, this drives reduced regulatory friction.

What that might look like
Making decisions about:
• Which apps should be rationalized and consolidated
• What standardized technologies should be your platform
• How can VM technology may you more nimble
• Where can you leverage public cloud
• What needs to remain on-premise
Some questions to consider
• Will this app require the high availability?
• Are there on-prem environment requirements?
• Should we re-write the app for multi-tenancy?
• Can we lift & shift to the cloud?
• How much compute does this app use daily?
• Does its performance SLA match up with the cloud?
• Can we expect the same results from this app in the cloud as we’ve seen on-premise?

At the end of the engagement, you will understand:
How to align your application and services cloud migration strategy with your business objectives
How to determine which applications and services are prime candidates for the cloud and which are not
How to map those applications and services to the right deployment option and service model
Which migration technique (e.g. rehost, refactor, replace) makes the most sense for each application
What should the order/priority of the application and service migration be and why
