Chapter 4: Preparing Your Organization for an On-Demand Enterprise Implementation


Overview

Constructing an on-demand enterprise requires extensive planning and resources. In addition to the technical challenges, political and cultural factors inevitably play a part in a server-based computing implementation. This chapter covers the steps involved in building an on-demand enterprise infrastructure. We start the process with a small proof-of-concept pilot program to ensure application compatibility with Terminal Services. We then look at putting together a feasibility committee to define the project's scope and objectives as well as to seek executive sponsorship and determine financial justification. A guide to performing an infrastructure assessment is followed by a project-planning outline. The steps involved in planning an enterprise SBC environment are as follows:

  1. Establish a non-production proof-of-concept pilot program.

  2. Establish a production proof-of-concept pilot program.

  3. Assemble a feasibility committee.

  4. Recruit an executive sponsor.

  5. Justify the project financially.

  6. Assemble a project planning team.

  7. Create a project definition document.

  8. Perform an infrastructure assessment.

  9. Generate a project design plan.

  10. Expand the pilot to beta stage.
