- How the planning service works
- Glue Reply has extensive experience of planning for Cloud adoption and the associated technical, data migration and user preparation. Our planning is guided by our Business Outcomes Driven Enterprise Architecture approach, listed by Gartner in their Market Guide. The Approach is deployed with major high street names as well as Government Departments, Agencies, Local Authorities and Housing Associations. Starting with Business Analysis we capture requirements maintaining a focus on the Business Objectives and develop supporting processes (L0-L5). Within the Business and Enterprise (Future State), Application and Solution, Information and Data, Integration and Service, Technical, Infrastructure, Cloud and Security Architecture(s) we develop transition and migration states and roadmaps to include to ensure the business and its customers face as little disruption as possible, ensuring disruption is positive. We can provide SQEP and experienced ISPMs/Scrummasters to manage transition, evolution and migration at Programme, Project/Scrum and Work Package levels, building in compliance with ITIL and GDPR. Planning can be formal APMP or PRINCE2 but we are also experts in Agile working and partner with Mulesoft, Matsoft, Boomi, Cleo, Kony, Kong, Talend, APIgee and others to integrate, so we understand their products and technologies to ensure effective and efficient integration and data flows.
