The Weolcan Cloud Governance Framework

The Weolcan Cloud Governance Framework (WCGF) is developed by Weolcan. The framework uses existing frameworks such as The Open Group Cloud Governance Framework, ITSM for Cloud or the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework. With the framework we not only limit ourselves to the adoption of new cloud services, but we explicitly focus on the entire life cycle, from Plan, Build and Run, up to and including the Exit phase.

On this website we share all our information and knowledge about our cloud framework so that as many companies as possible can use it. Our goal is to make it the standard for every company that wants to make the transition to a digital enterprise. You will find all the information in our knowledge base. The topics are divided into the 4 phases that most companies go through: strategy, transformation, migration and operation.`

Strategy

The Strategy phase facilitates the structured approach to cloud adoption. It answers the following questions: how does cloud contribute to realizing the business objectives. What does the business case look like; what does the future operating model look like.

Transformation

The Transformation phase focusses on the new way of working; how does the organization share experiences and exchange knowledge about their cloud journeys. What are ways to share knowledge between the teams and how do you facilitate the continuous learning?

Migration

Large scale migrations require a thorough preparation and planning. With the help of technical application assessments the migration processes runs smoother. But also: how to optimize the procurement procedure for the rapidly growing number of SaaS selections?

Operation

With Cloud comes a new operating model; the Shared Responsibility Model which requires organizations to adjust existing processes for Change Management, Incident Management but also new processes arise like Cloud Budget Management and Financial Forecasting.
