7. Some key questions to ask when defining your cloud
strategy are:
Step 1: Strategy is Key
Does your
organisation have a
clearly defined cloud
strategy already?
Do you understand the true costs
of operating your current
infrastructure?
What is the IT
operating
model-in-house or
outsourced?
Do you have a
defined budget for IT,
or is it as-required?
Are there any compliancy or
governance concerns around
moving to the Cloud?

Moving everything over to the Cloud at once can be
overwhelming and impractical
Take a hybrid approach:

To make this decision, it’s key that you understand the cost
of your current systems versus the cost of moving to the
Cloud.
