Step-by-Step Instructions and Guidance:
The toolkit includes the 5-step cloud migration strategy process. The cloud migration strategy process is a systematic 5-step approach to formulating a cloud strategy. The step-by-step cloud strategy process looks at everything from defining the organizations' cloud objectives, assessing the current state and the readiness to move to the cloud, designing the target state, understanding the cloud benefits, and formulating a cloud migration plan and roadmap.
The 5-step cloud migration strategy process:
- Define the organization's cloud objectives and desired outcomes from migrating to the cloud.
- Assess the current state of the organization's technology and operating model to determine its readiness for migration to the cloud.
- Design the target state cloud architecture and cloud operating model.
- Identify the potential benefits the organization can expect from adopting cloud computing services.
- Formulate a cloud migration plan and roadmap that outlines the specific activities and timeline for the successful execution of the migration.
Complete set of Documents, Templates, and Reference Models
The cloud migration strategy toolkit comprises eleven essential resources, including documents, templates, worksheets, reference models, and step-by-step instructions, carefully designed to simplify your cloud migration journey.
Cloud Migration Strategy Template
This document contains all the necessary sections and guidance to create an actionable plan for migrating an organization's applications and workloads to the cloud. Key sections in the cloud migration template include cloud objectives, current state assessment (technology readiness and operating model readiness), target state assessment, cloud benefits and risks, and cloud migration plan and roadmap.
Cloud Migration Strategy Process
The 5-step cloud migration strategy process describes step-by-step instructions on formulating a cloud strategy for organizations of all sizes, whether small, medium, or large. The cloud strategy process looks at everything from defining the organizations' cloud objectives, assessing the current state and the readiness to move to the cloud, designing the target state, understanding the cloud benefits, and formulating a cloud migration plan and roadmap.
