Understand the estate
Users, workloads, sites, dependencies and the current operating environment.
What does the business need to achieve?
Outcomes before equipment.
Solutions connect products, services and delivery around a business challenge. They are deliberately separate from the product catalogue.
Six connected practices
Choose the outcome. See the whole system.
Each practice can stand alone or connect with others when the environment demands it.
