Overview

Security is an important issue for your organisation. Like numerous companies, you are susceptible to security breach related risks that could affect your activity as a whole. To this effect, you have already implemented several structuring measures to develop this process. This approach could be further reinforced in order to ensure a completely secure environment. In this way, you could consider data protection in a mobile environment, the securing of business applications

Infrastructure administration is an important issue for your organisation. Thanks

to new consumer trends in I.T, infrastructure administration offers new potential

to I.T departments in terms of efficiency, added value, etc. You have identified

these new opportunities. Logically, the first necessary steps for efficient

infrastructure management have been taken within your organisation. Why not

go further using complementary technologies: datacenter(s) migration to the

cloud, hybrid environment management

Data management is an important issue for your organisation. You have already assessed the potential that intelligent data analysis can bring to your activity. However, to date, few concrete measures have been implemented to make this a reality within your organisation (processes, technologies). Yet, in an environment where technologies and practices are evolving rapidly, it is important to take concrete and structured steps. You can begin with/by more embedded computing systems, remote monitoring, that is to say the monitoring of data in remote environments that would allow a smarter management and exploitation of your data . We can also considerthe use of bots

Application management is an important issue for your organisation. The development of

modern applications has become a real factor that increases the activity and the

customer value proposition of companies. These new applications must be reactive,

mobile and intelligent. You have assessed the issue and have already taken steps aiming

at developing this domain. You can potentially go further with the implementation of

agile and DevOps methodologies. the integration of mobile applications in a

multiplatform environment, the implementation of intelligent and reactive applications.

Overview

Security

Security is an important issue for your

organisation. Your main objectives concern data

security and confidentiality, equipment security.

Steps have been taken to develop this issue. This

approach could be reinforced further.

Your strengths

- Mobile device management is in place

- Data protection in a mobile environment works efficiently.

Your challenges

- A business application security plan is being explored.

- Identity and access management is in the planning stages.

- Protection of the company's data is insufficient.

- Infrastructure security is to be reinforced.

Good security practices……

Security has become the key issue for IT infrastructures as a whole. In fact whether we are talking about

the increase of data exchange or new user methods (mobility etc), the support of a finely-tuned

infrastructure is becoming crucial, an infrastructure which takes into account the different levels of

security: prevention, detection and appropriate response.

At the same time and in a context whereby there are multiple environments (on premise infrastructure,

hybrid cloud, public cloud), it is extremely important to use infrastructures that guarantee the best

possible confidentiality. To this end, it is advisable to rely on existing standards. As an example, the

ISO/IEC 27018 standard proposes a code of good practice regarding the protection of personal

identifiable information.

Prevention must be based on security

strategies that are adapted to the

context of the systems and the users

(devices and mobile equipment

management, identity and access

management). It must also be based on

a set of recommendations and market

practices (the security of business

applications). Once in place, the

deployment must be assessed

continuously by the monitoring systems.

The aim of Detection will be to

provide constant monitoring in

order to reassure you that the

systems comply with the

defined security strategy.

To this end, the Technical

Management team must set up

data collection and automatic

analysis systems.

The Response to incidents

procedure will require the

setting up of tiered

notifications, precise

information on both the

source and the affected

resources and finally, it must

suggest solutions to stop

the current attack and

prevent future attacks.

Secure access and identity

The solutions for identity access management help IT services to

protect company applications and resources. Microsoft’s

approach with regards to identity, spans both locally and in to

the cloud, creating a unique user identity for authentication and

authorisation of all resources, whatever the location.

End to end security

In 2015, 90% of large organisations were victims of security breaches and 74% of small companies

suffered a similar fate. Security is a primary concern for your organisation and therein lies the

importance of having an end-to-end security approach.

Good practices with regards to infrastructure

management.....

In order to achieve digital transformation

successfully, organisations must use, more than

ever, an agile, secure and efficient infrastructure.

Used increasingly closer to applications, it not only

guarantees performance and becomes the driving

force behind efficiency, but it also becomes the

foundation on which the new practices and offers

will be built.

In this context, the cloud establishes itself as a

relevant means to address multiple issues

simultaneously in the digital era, such as: the

flexibility of resources, cost control and open

collaboration. Today, infrastructures based on the

Cloud (IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service) are

becoming common in numerous domains: test and

development, web site hosting, storage, back up

and recovery, big data analytics, etc.

This fundamental component of the cloud is no

longer just a virtual machine service. The service

offering is much more powerful and requires

accurate analysis.

Here are some characteristics that are decisive

in the choice of an IaaS solution:

•Ready to use solution: an efficient solution must

offer an extensive catalogue of ready to use

applications and complete workloads.

•High availability: for applications and critical data,

it is necessary to implement high availability

mechanisms. An IaaS infrastructure must in this

way offer load balancing mechanisms to

effectively balance the load, as well as offering

orchestration and security management systems

and even anticipation of security breaches

systems.

•Expand the services: the services offered should

not be set in stone. It is also important to have the

option of switching off service functions.

Use an open and flexible cloud service platform

Azure handles a broad range of operating systems, programming

languages, infrastructures, tools, databases and devices. Run Linux

containers with the integration of Docker. Create applications with

JavaScript, Python, .NET, PHP, Java and Node.js. Create core servers

for iOS devices, Android and Windows. The service cloud Azure

handles technologies that millions of developers and IT professionals

already trust.

Your infrastructure, your application, your platform.

We accept everything!

The Cloud is not simply a place, it is a model.

Maintain innovation management

Microsoft Operations Management Suite, (the very recent

innovation born in the cloud, for the cloud) allows you to manage

and protect Microsoft Azure or AWS, Windows Server or Linux and

VMware or OpenStack with an IT management solution. It allows

you to collect and analyse log systems in real time and to

orchestrate and automate complex operations, to protect your

Datacenter against downtime, detect security breaches and reduce

reaction times.

Develop your existing IT environment

Certain providers push you to choose between your Datacenter and

the Public Cloud. This is not the case with Azure. In fact you can easily

set up private secure connections, storage solutions, hybrid

databases, and advanced data encryption functions. Furthermore,

Azure Stack lets you use the same development and deployment of

applications model in your Datacenter, as that used in Azure. The

hybrid cloud Azure solutions allow you to benefit from the

advantages of two environments with more services, less complexity

and at reduced cost.The hybrid cloud

Data management is an important issue for your

organisation. Your main objective is advanced

data analysis (Big Data, etc.). Yet, few measures

have been implemented to valuate data.

Data intelligence

Your strengths

- You use data bases

Your challenges

- A remote data monitoring project is under consideration.

- You have not promoted embedded systems.

- A big data project is planned.

- The implementation of a business intelligence solution is in the planning stages

- Predictive analytics is part of your data exploitation processes.

- You are considering the use of bots

- You are exploring the use of machine Learning for your activity

- You are exploring the use of cognitive service for your activity.

Good practices regarding data exploitation

At a time when data has an economic value, holding it and being able to analyse it is a differentiating

factor. In different sectors, data management will be at the origin of profound transformations in

businesses and in the organisation of companies (for example: breakdown prevention and maintenance,

new products design etc). This practice must be prepared quickly in order to reap all the benefits from it.

By valuating the data, you can for example:

Provide a personalised

experience thanks to Big

Data: Every consumer wishes

for a different experience. The

valuation of data can give the

client a personalised

experience. It changes

according to the behaviour of

the consumer and recommends

products including dynamic

discounting for a unique

shopping experience.

Create a more efficient

supply chain: the integration

of data coming from the

company’s value chain

optimises performance with

regards to supply and cost

savings. Taking proactive

measures, accessing stock

levels, predicting product order

needs etc.

Become more efficient in

daily tasks: Whether it is in the

context of the organisation of

human resources, of supply

chain management or of the

anticipation of clients’ and staff

needs. Understanding the

factors that affect operational

efficiency is essential for

streamlining the company.

Manage your data and your applications with built-in intelligence

With the SQL server, benefit from a platform and coherent tools for

better mobility of usage scenarios between your Datacenter, your

private cloud or Microsoft Azure. You can create strategic and

intelligent applications for online transaction processing (OLTP) with

scalability, in-memory performances and high availability. With built-in

intelligence that learns the behaviour of applications and adapts in

order to optimise performances, reliability and data protection, SQL

Database is a hybrid database in response to the needs of developers.

Good practices regarding the development and management of applications

Today, the essential driver of innovations and technological breakthroughs is defined by mobility

and cloud computing. In this environment, the development of applications is particularly important.

In this context, the optimisation of Agile DevOps methods becomes crucial: continued integration,

automation of tests with API, reduction of release size , elimination of waiting time, improvement of

results based on regular comments, etc.

The optimisation and development of applications must also involve an efficient IT platform

(PaaS) that allows for:

•Natural integration with on-premise environments and SaaS solutions

•Access to web applications to create web Apps that are critical for high availability

•The possibility of deploying mobile apps everywhere and on any terminal

•The creation, management and hosting of simplified API’s

•The automation of company processes, of SaaS services and on–premise devices in order to

integrate them into analytics tools and business intelligence

Reactive applications

The success of applications development lies in the capacity to plan, carry

out and develop the projects in an agile, collaborative and productive

way. You must accelerate innovation and launch into market by

modernising the development cycle of applications. Whatever the service,

environment or platform, transform your ideas into applications

constantly and move on to integration, test and deployment using

DevOps processes. In a word, enter a world where you are made aware of

your user feedback in real time!
