This document provides a step-by-step guide for organizations moving to the cloud. It outlines that while many organizations understand the benefits of the cloud, they are unsure how to begin the transition. The guide recommends first defining a cloud strategy that addresses key questions about current infrastructure costs, IT models, and compliance needs. Organizations then need to understand their existing IT systems before deciding which applications to gradually move to the cloud. This will involve assessing infrastructure, storage, applications, and disaster recovery. With the right planning process and expertise, organizations can simplify their journey to the cloud.
