Your Cloud Adoption Framework – Plan

Through an assessment and a number of strategic workshop engagements, Transparity leverages the Cloud Adoption Framework to help organisations align their strategies for business, culture, and technical change to achieve their desired cloud business outcomes. The planning phase involves four stages:

Understanding your Digital Estate

The first stage is to fully understand the digital estate currently in use, this is done with an inventory, rationalisation and and the creation of a migration plan. This plan covers what workloads are in scope for migration, the target service, cost per workload and the migration timeline. Our partnership with Microsoft means this first assessment can be funded. 

Creating Organisational Alignment

The most important aspect of any cloud adoption plan is the alignment of people who will make the plan a reality. In this step, Transparity helps you shape the new operating model and align people for cloud adoption and cloud governance responsibilities and ownership.

Defining Skills Readiness

For successful cloud adoption, it’s critical to ensure that both IT and non-IT personnel are ready for this transformation. With any cloud transformation journey, roles will shift to cloud computing. In this stage, we capture concerns, map roles and skills, identify gaps and recommend training and skilling. Our partnership with Microsoft could provide help such as discounted exams for your team.

Establish a cloud adoption plan

Producing a cloud adoption plan will enable Transparity to convert your aspirational goals from the previous cloud adoption strategy activities into an actionable plan. Your teams can then use the cloud adoption plan to manage your technical efforts and align them with the appropriate business strategies.
