# Deck Outline - BT Success for CSM
## Challenge / Scenario
* BT is making a strategic move to GCP
* Initial timeline has accelerated
* QSEoK is paused
* Need to realize cloud-native gains with move to GCP
## Initial Proposal
* Leverage Sense APIs for automation
* GCE nodes can be resized with a reboot
* Proof-of-Concept to test, proceed to adoption
## Kick-off
* BT had no existing starting point
* GCP expertise outside team (still learning)
* No Sense deployment in GCP to test against
* Only available environment is empty project
* Not representative of Production
* Create architecture for QSEoW on GCP
* Use advantages of IaC.
* Off-load to managed services where possible
* Offers increased agility, reduced operational overhead and higher availability SLAs.
## Roadblocks
* "Build it and they will come"
* GCP environment, policies and procedures are still in-flight.
* During engagement, BT had 2 resource departures
* Authentication ==> `¯\_(ツ)_/¯`
* Data Cloud Hub team is fully engaged elsewhere
* BT loses 2 key teammates
* Timeline for first Prod Sense in GCP moves up.
* Team already impacted by pre-scheduled GCP training.
* Workload and knowledge transfer need to occur.
## Collaboration / Partnership
* Qlik performed initial draft development and testing independently.
* Communicate, Challenge, Create, Collaborate
* Understand our direct customer's needs and how that fits with account goals
* B U G S 🐛 ♻️ 💩
* Assist CDH team in adapting to BT ops
* Modular @ TF layer
* Stepped Execution
## Measures of Success
* Outcome focused delivery
* Cost of losing an employee is 1-2x salary
* Unmeasured costs
* Loss of velocity
* Loss of undocumented domain knowledge
* Capacity for execution is impaired
* Wrong time to add new technology to learn/support
* Familiar operations
* New services/technology in background
* Less nodes, better performance
* Can create cluster on demand
* Do More with Less
* Team shrinks and timeline jumps ahead
* Outcome focused mindset allows Qlik to pivot to assist
* Utilize PoC capabilities and remaining budget
* Magnify BT's existing force projection
* Will continue to recoup direct value
* Customer Succeeds - Everyone Wins
* BT success strenghtens relationship/partnership
* Competitor considerations lose any value
* Confidence in Qlik drives up retention and new opportunities.
* NPS and ARR going 🠉 as a result
## Questions
* What measures to include?
* What important points am I missing?
