The document discusses how to maximize the value of a hybrid cloud approach. It recommends standardizing on VMware's vCloud ecosystem to create common management, security, and networking across private and public clouds.

Organizations should shift from silos to a Cloud Center of Excellence and automate processes to simplify governance and provisioning for hybrid environments.
