The document discusses considerations for moving to the cloud. It notes that the cloud offers possibilities but requires planning. Specifically, it recommends having a clearly communicated plan that is realistic about where benefits can be gained. Not all cloud providers are equal, so total costs include cloud charges as well as internal costs. The key is to find suppliers that can help reconnect disconnected areas and support organizations as they determine their best cloud path.
