Once you have a clear idea of what you're trying to achieve, the next step is to plan your journey
using a clear, yet flexible, framework. Microsoft has helped thousands of organizations migrate
and modernize on the Microsoft Azure Cloud. Based on these experiences, we developed the
Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure. Using the framework as a starting point,
you can build a roadmap to achieving your organizational goals.
A holistic approach maximizes value
Cloud migration and modernization involves significant organizational change management
spanning people, process, and technology. Taking a holistic approach will not only help you
navigate the journey successfully, but ensure that your organization realizes new benefits—
including cost optimization, productivity, agility, and scale—once your applications and databases
are migrated and modernized with Microsoft Azure. There are three aspects to beginning your
cloud journey: planning, implementation, and operations.
Technology innovation is a fundamental piece of
any modern retail company's strategy... It allows
us to stay relevant in today's marketplace and
connect with customers in the ways that suit them
best. Healthcare is a deeply personal concern, and
we see technology as a way to personalize our
service and create more value for customers while
also transforming healthcare around the world.
