SPEAKER: As organizations transform to better serve their customers, it's clear there are some key imperatives they need to deliver, whether that's innovating in a new business domain or service, or simplifying the application estate. It could mean enhancing customer experience using applied AI, or unifying data to gain a single customer view. Whatever the need, there's a good chance they're dependent on being able to rapidly move forward on cloud, which is why Publicis Sapient created CAP, the Cloud Acceleration Platform.
As its name suggests, it's designed to get your cloud projects up and running faster. CAP contains all the foundational elements required to create guided pathways for development. It also provides users with their own internal developer platform, or IDP. This gives users access to all the guidance, documentation, accelerators, monitoring, security, and financial control needed, all in one place.
CAP is configurable for multiple stakeholders. So, for example, platform engineers like Ryan can easily see which cloud services are already approved and available to him. He can set up a new instance, define where the source code sits, set up approvals, access, and budgetary controls. The whole process is much simpler, faster, and he doesn't have to compromise on risk.
Once the environment is up and running, CAP also allows Ryan to monitor the health of his cloud environment, letting him check container status, merge code requests, etc., all in one single pane of glass view.
Erica is the project owner, and also wants a clear view of what's going on across the development lifecycle. With CAP, she has visibility of everything, from ownership of services to what the status is at any point. She can even see ongoing and predicted costs that are normally hidden away. CAP's comprehensive dashboard and reporting features even lets her view how the budget breaks down as number of engineers, or even doughnuts.
And for developers like Kai, who aren't too bothered about the finer details of cloud, CAP's simplified onboarding and self-service features allow him to set up the infrastructure and access pre-existing templates and code, so he can start designing his app in record time.
Everyone in the organization can benefit from CAP. Faster build times, greater efficiency, reduced costs, and time saved all whilst remaining compliant. The business gets to meet its objectives around data, AI, innovation, application modernization, and cloud adoption. And the customer gets a better experience as a result. Now that is a cloud with a silver lining.
