It all started with a small band of disruptors, determined to do things differently

Project transparency via Slack, mailing lists;

ability to track changes & contribute via github,

Well defined & documented processes for

contributions & for becoming a committer

Openly governed meritocracy with multiple levels of

participation: dev, project lead, board member2

The community shared that vision, made the technology real, and others gravitated to it

Since the foundation was established,

over 50 members have joined & 6 dojos

were opened to train contributors

Full-time dedicated committers have

increased to 100, with over 40 new

graduates of a Dojo

Self organized Cloud Foundry user &

developer groups have been established

in 105 cities in 48 countries across 6

continents

3

Over the past year the ecosystem has exploded, as orgs of all types have adopted Cloud Foundry

7 leading commercial offerings

have been certified &

governments around the world

have built on Cloud Foundry

Thousands of organizations are

using Cloud Foundry globally, and

more than $455 Million have been

invested in Cloud Foundry via shared

development

4

There are many reasons to be involved: for us the bottom line is about providing a platform for innovation

Choice: IBM offers infrastructure, runtime &

service options, based on open technology

Flexible Deployment: Consistently leverage the

capabilities of IBM’s cloud, where you need it

Systems of Engagement (SOE) — Value Propositions for Kaiser Permanente

Drivers for Change

Time-to-market: Requires

an immersive adoption

of agile and continuous

delivery models to break

down silos between business

and IT and within IT

On-Demand: Timely

provisioning and

de-provisioning of compute

environments / capabilities

across development, test

and production

Integration: Ability to

develop and launch holistic

services (web services,

APIs) to access the wealth

of capabilities and data in

our ‘systems of record’

Digital: Delivery of

omni-channel digital

experiences –

seamlessly accessible

on mobile, web, social,

video, voice, etc

Affordability: Reduce

operational costs and

increase efficiencies is

further enabled by ‘systems

of engagement’ delivery

model and platform

Increased dynamic engagement with consumers, care team

and workforce: Integration across multiple channels such as

web, social media, mobile and wearable technology devices

Shortened time-to-market: Infrastructure, security and

services managed externally enable development and

deployment of applications in continuously agile manner

Maximized investments in existing systems of record: Ability

to access data from traditional backend systems without

rebuilding or retrofitting (e.g. KP HealthConnect, Membership)

Consumer

Care TeamWorkforce

will help deliver new

capabilities quicker for

our members, providers

and workforce.

Why PaaS and why Bluemix for Kaiser Permanente

Based on CloudFoundry, Docker, OpenStack open source technologies

Rapid Application Delivery (Removes infrastructure and platform/software barriers — runtime

environments are readily available to enable developers to focus on functional implementation)

Cost advantage pay for actual resource usage; application teams do not need to buy servers,

get licenses in advance and can release resources on as-needed basis

Rich library of services catalog (some of the existing tools we already use on-premise) and

third party add-ons

DevOps support

Utilizes existing skill set of developers
