If you build a private cloud for your enterprise, would everyone come to use it? Have you thought about the keys to broad adoption and use, not simply within IT, but extended to Business Unit users across the enterprise?

Successful adoption of cloud-based services depends on more than just a self-service portal and orchestration of underlying IT resources. In fact, it goes far beyond infrastructure concerns and extends to the use of policy-driven governance controls all the way out to the Business Units. Robust, comprehensive policy and governance controls are actually the key to end-to-end automation once you’ve decided how to orchestrate your underlying IT infrastructure. And it’s this high degree of controlled automation that enables the agility benefits that will attract Business Units to use your cloud in the first place.
