The cloud is indeed a game- changer for most of the enterprises. Approaches to data and security practices need to be properly addressed during cloud planning in moving to cloud – the key is the mix of the change management and strategy. It is also essential to identify and avoid common mistakes and misconceptions to maximize the benefits of a cloud solution. Some of the critical factors in planning are effective business case, industry trends, selecting data for cloud, connecting the on-premises applications with cloud, change and training plan. Also, short-, medium- and long-term goals should be planned to leverage the benefits of cloud and integrate it with the current IT and business in proper order. In short, a Cloud adoption journey is more than choosing a technology, it requires planning for the future.
