What is IBM Cloud for VMware:
VMware is an enterprise-grade compute virtualization platform driving many mission-critical applications for Fortune 500 companies across the world. IBM Cloud is one of the largest VMware operators in the Cloud Computing space enabling companies to migrate their on-premises workloads into the Cloud to take advantage of cost savings and increased operational efficiency. IBM Cloud for VMware enables you to seamlessly migrate and modernize VMware workloads to the cloud, allowing you to leverage your existing investments for a consistent VMware experience—retaining the same level of access, security, and control. What’s more, we give you the flexibility of managing it yourself or having IBM manage it for you.
What are the impacts & outcomes of our User Experience designs:
Clients are seeing a 209% return on investment coupled with $1.2 million operational cost savings over a three year period when migrating to IBM Cloud for VMware vs their traditional on-premises VMware environments.
The Design team has streamlined the IBM Cloud for VMware experience to reduce the friction of migration onboarding by 700%. Reducing a typical cloud migration from 32 weeks to only four weeks. We have also increased the efficiency of our VMware configuration pages so that clients spend an average of 53% less time which has increased digital sales conversions by 271%.
Radically changing how we co-create:
Our VMware Solutions are the collaborative result of IBM’s cross-functional expertise. They span over 200 people dedicated to the VMware practice. To bring unity and clarity around user-centric thinking, the design team iterated their process, using IBM Enterprise Design Thinking. Through personas, studies, and workshops, they have expanded our understanding of user’s different journeys. To align the broader team on intent, they have crafted user value statements for each epic. They continue to prioritize the product roadmap to reflect features that the market wants, rather than starting with technology. To make the experience simple, unified, and delightful, they test new concepts, iterate, and validate our ideas by engaging directly with users – both internal and external, and with VMware. Through these changes, we have increased our sprint productivity by 15% while raising the sense of co-creation of the future together.
