Fit-for-Purpose: The Next Chapter of Cloud Strategy

Cloud is firmly established as a core enterprise technology, and cloud modernization has become the primary driver of business growth and innovation. To be successful, you must adopt cloud in concert with a business vision to deliver digital initiatives and strategic goals.

Without a business-aligned cloud strategy, costs and risks increase with unclear business benefit.

It's never too late to develop a cloud strategy. Now is the time.

Cloud modernization is now the primary enabler of business transformation and value enhancement. Cloud platforms have evolved from core technology to disruptive ecosystems of strategic advantage. Your cloud strategy must be refreshed to reach new markets, deliver innovative products, reduce costs, and improve customer experiences.

Cloud is everywhere, and cloud is inevitable, but it's not a standalone answer for transformation success.

A fit-for-purpose cloud modernization strategy supports your business mission and aligns with other strategic plans (enterprise architecture, hybrid IT, data, security, data center strategies) to guide workload placement based on the right cloud principles. It must be concise, actionable, and unique to your organization.
