Simulation Details

Company Overview
Nimbus Solutions is a rapidly expanding IT company, boasting an annual growth rate of 20% over the past five years. The company specializes in advanced technological solutions, excelling in the implementation of hybrid cloud infrastructures and providing cloud migration consulting services. Nimbus Solutions has successfully managed over 150 cloud migration projects using platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The company serves sectors like finance, healthcare, and retail, enhancing data security and optimizing operations. It has a dedicated team of over 50 certified experts managing migration projects.

Challenge
The main challenge of the simulation is to present a cloud migration proposal to a group of non-technical executives at Nimbus Solutions. You will need to address the specific concerns of Ananya Joshi, the Technical Director, regarding data security and regulatory compliance, and those of Omar Ben Youssef, the Financial Director, regarding hidden costs and ROI. Additionally, you will need to manage the resistance of the internal IT team, led by Sarah King, who fears losing control over the infrastructure and redundancy of roles. Finally, you will need to reassure the executives about the project timeline by presenting a well-structured and realistic migration plan.

Mission
As a Cloud Architect at Nimbus Solutions, your task is to propose a migration plan to the company’s executives. You will interact with Ananya Joshi, Omar Ben Youssef, and Sarah King to identify the company’s key needs, determine the specific technical requirements for the migration, and evaluate cloud service provider options. Subsequently, you will develop a clear and comprehensible migration proposal, including a detailed cost-benefit analysis. Finally, you will manage expectations regarding technical timelines and address risk concerns, working closely with Sarah King to establish realistic timelines and mitigate technical risks.

Expected Outcomes
To complete the simulation, you must obtain approval for the migration plan from the executives. The final document must include:
– Analysis of Business Needs and Technical Requirements
– Migration Proposal with benefits, costs, and ROI
– Expectation and Concern Management Plan

Once completed, save the document in PDF or DocX format and send it to Ananya Joshi, the Technical Director.
