Options Open
2
Some Questions You Should Ask Yourself To Ensure
You Migrate To Cloud
3
Strategic Alignment
To be sure your cloud goal ties to your business
strategy and vision. Do you want to be an
innovator or your focus on safety, cost saving or
CAPEX (Capital Expenditures) to OPEX (Operating
Expenses) cost model?
4
Mindset
By holding to the past you can't get future. Are
you prepared to do things in distinct way then
you will need a change in mindset.
5
Be Prepared to Change
Some companies are unable to shift their
enterprise workloads to public cloud services due
to data security, compliance or latency concerns.
Other organization may choose to take a hybrid
cloud model for development and testing to
validate the business case of using public and
private clouds. In most cases, it will be a bit
of this and a bit of that, and the mix will most
likely change over time.
6
Find the Perfect Partner
Business is complex. Can you get a vendor,
managed cloud provider or broker that can help
you understand the full range of opportunities
that cloud provides? Ideally, they need to also
offer various routes that enable you to extend
your existing structure and embrace cloud rather
than go for radical chance.
7
Must Take Centre Stage Security Feature and
Governance
The conversation around cloud should start here
rather than for these areas to be bolted on
solutions after the main architecture is
decided.
8
Business Moves fast, Can your Cloud Portfolio?
Portfolio has to be able to pivot with you and
have the flexibility to change to take you to the
future. You need to able to switch forth and back
between on premises and cloud.

Are You Prepared to Be At the Cutting Edge?
One of the best benefits of cloud is its capacity
for quickly adding in new feature and
capabilities in weeks or month rather than year
long release cycles.
10
Governance Will Be Your Best Friend
Down the NIC level, when you need to audit and
when you need to attest to exactly what and where
your data is, then will your provider itself be
part of your problem and solution?
