Building an Enterprise Cloud Center of Excellence
Industry: Energy & InfrastructurePlatform: Azure, AWS, OCIScope: Enterprise CCoE Design & GovernanceDuration: 2025 - Ongoing
The Challenge
Quanta Services, a Fortune 250 infrastructure leader, needed a Cloud Center of Excellence to govern their expanding multi-cloud footprint. Operating companies worked independently with no unified governance, creating 6-7 month security review delays, inconsistent architecture standards, and uncontrolled cost exposure across Azure, AWS, and OCI.
Approach
✓ Governance assessment across 9 OpCos to establish maturity baseline
✓ Designed federated CCoE operating model with 3 Lines of Defense framework
✓ Built enterprise policy definitions for Azure and AWS with Terraform pipeline
✓ Created interactive assessment tools for self-service cloud adoption
Solution Delivered
✓ 120+ governance standards across 7 domains: governance, architecture, security, FinOps, operations, modernization, onboarding
✓ 20 interactive tools: naming generators, LZ wizards, maturity scorecards, security checkers, cost calculators
✓ Self-service CCoE portal with onboarding guides and developer enablement
✓ Stakeholder communications: newsletters, onepagers, infographics
