14 14 2 KBC s Public Cloud Journey

15 Why changing the environment to Cloud? Cost High Cost / user Fixed cost in downsizing market condition User experience Existing Tools made by engineers for engineers Multiple outages during 2011 Little integration Support Existing tools are loosing global market share drastically Support is scarce in market, therefore expensive The New way of Working Steer on Results Leading based on trust More freedom on time & location Supporting facilities 15

16 Initial Risk assessment Concerns of Cloudcomputing: Will my data be save, no steeling, hacking Can I live with standardized service & unpredicted change management Will the selected provider as a service partner survive on long term Can I step out migrating back to the on premise situation if poor service Opportunities of Cloud- Computing: Offers many compelling advantages, including security advantages, due to higher specialization, better technology and economies of scale KBC's current infrastructure is not perfect: risks also exist today Limited scope of data (no customer databases or financial transactions) Assurance received from reputable third party auditors & standards Commercial incentives for service providers to take into account KBC's concerns, even when not explicitly set forth in contract 16

17 Main issues to be addressed upfront Risk assessment agreed with CRO Group: Shift of control, focus on standardisation and lack of transparency represent risks impacting outsourcing, bank secrecy & privacy rules Extensive risk assessment: evaluation from a compliance, legal & security perspective Positive advice of Group Value & Risk management Validation by National Bank of Belgium (NBB) No known examples of EU banks who have moved to the public cloud with prior regulatory approval NBB Circular on Outsourcing applies (letter 2012 all cloud computing qualifies as outsourcing A number of topics to be clarified and negotiated (KBC - NBB - MS) mainly addressing: auditing, data protection and security Rules for foreign regulators are very simular cloud computing is now possible in the financial sector, but an in-depth risk assessment and strict controls are mandatory 17

18 Legal rules for the financial sector Operational requirements - outsourcing policy - in-depth due diligence & risk analysis during selection - monitoring service provider s performance - maintain in-house knowledge and expertise - solvency & concentration risks of service provider 18 Contractual requirements - limited duration & easy exit (transition of cloud data to new provider) - audit possibilities - difficult to reconcile with cloud (number of customers) - control over subcontracting - written service levels - government access requests - Belgian law, compliance with future legislation? 18

19 Legal rules for the financial sector Service provider requirements - notification of security breaches - disclosure of data leakage - business continuity measures - use of sufficiently common and well-known technologies - maintain sufficient documentation - define responsibility matrix (alignment of operational processes) Lessons learned: involve legal, compliance, risk and audit from the very beginning

20 20 3 O365 Transition & Migration Approach

21 Critical success factors Limit duration of the migration because of limited coexistence possibilities 13 Months of prep no impact to end-users - On-Premisse infrastructure setup (Authentication, DDOS mitigation,..) vs. cloud infrastructure setup 5 Months of actual migration (8 waves + 1 pilot for mailboxes shared mailboxes) impact to end-users Limit size of data to be migrated Focus on core functionality first Emphasis on change management moving to the cloud is mostly a business change, not a technical change adapt to standard services mindset, instead of customization take care of internal compliance & security changes Do not forget legacy applications and end user computing solutions! 21

22 Legacy applications: Clean your attic before you move Microsoft Best Practices Light Assessment Detailed Assessment 100+ Original Notes Databases: Scope of detailed analysis: 400+ unique Lotus Notes application Final number of target apps: 100+ KBC 4652 Initial application assessment inventory 384 Applications to be considered for survey 111 Migration estimation basis Total databases scanned across 8 servers Reduction through analysis of application portfolio data Applications to be considered for Detail Assessment or Application Migration 22

25 Why investing in Managment of Change? Objectives Increase Adoption Rates - Provides User Satisfaction - Secures Business Case and ROI Reduces Adoption Time - Reduce Time to Productivity with new solutions 25 Implement New Way of Work (NWoW) - Introduce more effective ways of doing things - Introduce new capabilities - Influence and change work patterns - Support new work styles: work@home, mobility, flexibility

26 Additional cost savings not considered in the Business Case Quantification Knowledge worker productivity gains Based on results Forrester research Methodological assumptions for application to KBC Conservative assumptions 50% of total population is impacted half of them identified as most impacted Information workers Sample calculation for year 1 based on current roll-out plan Assumed efficiencies Average efficiency increase of Information worker Average efficiency increase of Mobile worker Decreased travel cost/time loss due to online collaboration, conferencing 26

27 Benefits in reach: 15 mio /year based on results Forrester research potential KPI s to define: efficiency increase of Information worker efficiency increase of Mobile worker decreased travel cost/time loss due to online collaboration, conferencing 27
