Digital Engineering: Cloud Based Organizational Transformation for IT and Engineering Agility

Most MBSE solutions are based on on-premises siloed solutions - or partially use the benefits of the cloud. Indeed, using cloud technologies is a journey, rather than a binary approach.

Enterprise Transformation Journey with Cloud

The above figure shows a typical journey for an enterprise. We typically see customers start with a project phase where they start testing the cloud implementation. Then, the foundation stage has been setup with employing frameworks such as Cloud Adoption Framework such as building Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) and working on Well-Architected Strategies.

The next stages of migration and innovation are when the value of the cloud becomes evident. These are the stages where our customers benefit from differentiated experience.

With migration, customers start utilizing scalability, elasticity and cost savings; generally, via hybrid solutions gradually moving applications from on-premises to cloud. In time, customer start to utilize cloud native technologies via the experimentation culture which is enabled via the IaS and IT agility of the cloud.

This kicks in the innovation phase, where customers modernize their applications and add extra features such as AI/ML technologies, analytics, serverless, and more.

Hence, in the following section, we divide the MBSE with AWS into two categories; Migration of MBSE and Innovation with MBSE.
