About this template
This OKR titled "Optimize cloud transition expenses" aims at managing and reducing the costs associated with transitioning to a cloud-based infrastructure. The first objective is to set up a cost-monitoring dashboard to effectively track the expenses involved in the cloud transition. This is accompanied by several initiatives including training the team, choosing suitable dashboard software and identifying key metrics.
In addition to the initial set up costs, on-premises infrastructure costs need to be reduced by 20% as a second objective. This is achieved with measures such as streamlining operations by consolidation, negotiating better vendor pricing contracts, and implementing energy-saving measures. The goal here is an efficient spend on the existing setup while transitioning to cloud.
The third objective seeks to achieve a 30% cost saving from the cloud transition itself. Initiatives under this objective include several key strategies such as identifying and eliminating redundant applications prior to cloud migration, optimizing cloud storage usage, and utilizing automated scaling for cloud resources.
Overall, this OKR is a strategic approach to manage the expenses involved in cloud transition by tracking, reducing and optimizing costs at various stages. It not only addresses the direct costs but also indirect savings from streamlining the cloud transition process.
