Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
The PMF is founded upon the APM and Agile project management methodologies and then enhanced for the implementation of cloud services to encompass the following cloud specific planning considerations: suitability against customer needs by identifying the information types, services and associated business processes involved and assess the impact of moving them to the cloud; timing and triggers by assessing the architectural roadmap and project portfolio to identify the timing & trigger points for the use of cloud-based services; financial aspects by considering the financial and budgetary impacts of implementing cloud services at a variety of levels; organisational capability by considering skills required/available in P3M, relationship management, procurement and contract management, and services provisioning and management; management of change by planning for comprehensive stakeholder engagement to inform and address concerns; review and governance by reviewing the governance model to ensure the structure, guidance and controls are adequate.
Raptor works closely with its customers to establish their detailed requirements and constraints, based on the above considerations and then to tailor and agree a comprehensive plan for implementing cloud hosting or software services solutions.

Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Raptor’s ISO9001:2015 certified planning service has been enhanced to help customers migrate to cloud services by considering the following: building a business model to provide the business context required for candidate cloud-based services including gathering requirements to form the basis for the business case; assessing the risks and identifying the appropriate risk-based approach, particularly with respect to security; capturing requirements using the business model and risk assessment (standard descriptions such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) are useful tools to ensure coverage); building a business case with the business rationale, benefits, costs, risks and options; preparing an exit strategy documenting the contingency plan to migrate records securely, while maintaining business continuity; determining contractual terms to ensure the final contract will meet business requirements, security requirements and adequately address the risks; approaching the market for the most appropriate model (for example, cloud computing, managed services, outsourcing, in-house delivery or hybrids of these); selecting a provider and verify that the business needs and security requirements are fully addressed and that the outcome is based on value for money; planning for implementation and on-going operations by developing an internal project to manage the implementation.
