1. Scope of our Services
This document describes Accenture’s Cloud Platform Implementation Services for AWS Beanstalk, and should be read in conjunction with the associated Government Cloud II Services documentation, specifically Appendix 5 – Award Questionnaire.
Accenture has included “Accenture Cloud Platform Implementation Services for AWS Beanstalk” as part of the G-Cloud II Framework.
These services include processes to support AWS Beanstalk adoption and implementation and development services required to migration existing or develop new application on AWS Beanstalk.
The “Accenture Cloud PaaS Implementation Service” will be tailored to the specific G-Cloud II requirements but may include any of the following Platform as a Services (PaaS) components:
PaaS Strategy: help define a strategy for transitioning development towards PaaS, whether for applications,
integration or security. The strategy would include identifying specific opportunities and possible roadmaps. This can include a suitability assessment of migration to cloud for an application portfolio as well as help compare and contrast PaaS vendors for a particular PaaS area (application, integration, security, etc.).
PaaS Pilots: helping to setup parallel pilot projects as well as doing actual cost comparison analysis based on the
different pricing models as part of the pilots.
PaaS Implementation / Setup: provide resources to help setup and configure the AWS Beanstalk environment
and deploy this into the organisation. An implementation can further include the migration of existing applications or in-flight development of new applications onto AWS Beanstalk.
PaaS Governance: define processes for AWS Beanstalk provisioning and usage. Ensure controls are in place and
roles well-defined to help manage the AWS Beanstalk environments and ensure cost effective usage.
PaaS Application Migration: provide resources to help migrate existing applications to AWS Beanstalk. In
particular java applications that need to be modified to ensure compatibility with AWS Beanstalk.
PaaS Application Development: provide resources to support application development on AWS Beanstalk,
either as the core development team or as Subject Matter Experts.
Accenture have been cross skilling numerous infrastructure resources as the AWS Beanstalk offerings have matured over the last few years. These resources have already delivered numerous projects for clients globally on AWS Beanstalk. Accenture’s deep industry knowledge and deep cloud computing expertise together with our infrastructure expertise and a growing expertise on AWS Beanstalk provides the ideal balance to ensure a thorough assessment and implementation of applications.
