6 steps to digital transformation in the cloud
Take the right path to hybrid cloud
The path to digital transformation begins with a business case that helps guide decisions about modernizing or replacing applications and infrastructure. Key approaches for moving to hybrid cloud include:
- Business case. Compare current- and future-state run costs, and application transformation/migration costs, to determine the most appropriate landing zones.
- Application transformation recommendations. Make informed decisions about how applications should be transformed to magnify the benefits of the landing zones.
- Application/workload placement recommendations. Reliably predict the best options for workload optimization in private, public or hybrid environments through a cloud-agnostic landing zone evaluation. We assess service level, security and compliance parameters, technology fit and return on investment.
- IT operating model considerations. Maximize the benefits of transformation and avoid pitfalls by understanding the IT operating model changes required to effectively support your future hybrid state.
- IT policy considerations. Ensure that required security, controls, governance and placement rules are properly considered.
- High-level execution plan. Provide documentation to convince stakeholders of the need to change by providing a clear roadmap and timeline to execute hybrid transformation.
