It all starts with a single document:
the cloud strategy.
Your business architecture defines
the current organizational state vs.
the desired future state.

Real-world tips
● Cloud adoption is not a single engagement or a one time
process; it is a never-ending cycle that must continually be
evaluated for efficiency and alignment to the business.
● Your people are your most critical assets. Don’t neglect them.
Encourage innovation through experimentation.
● Foster an environment of continuous feedback.
● Be as agile as possible. Limit each foundational step to a
sprint.
● A TCO analysis only provides a snapshot (in time). Your real
world numbers will be different.
