Cloud Adoption Framework
What is Cloud Adoption Framework?
Cloud Adoption Framework is a proven guideline that can be followed to create and implement business and technology strategies necessary for your organisation to succeed in the cloud. It enables customers to undertake a simplified cloud adoption journey.
This framework contains comprehensive information about an end-to-end cloud adoption journey, starting with the intended business results, and then aligning cloud readiness and assessments with clear-cut business objectives.
Those results are achieved through a clearly defined path for cloud adoption. With migration-based adoption, the defined path focuses to a greater extend on migrating on-premises workloads to the cloud. This process includes modernization of workloads to increase the return on investment from the migration effort.

The Cloud Adoption Framework helps customers undertake a simplified cloud journey in three main stages:

Plan

Ready

Adopt
These three main stages are preceded by a business strategy phase and surrounded by an operations phase that expands through the cloud adoption journey.
