Cloud Readiness

Are You Ready for the Cloud?

Is your company evaluating cloud computing to reduce your IT costs and increase operational agility? If so, you're not alone. Organizations are unsure how to initiate their cloud projects, which could cause them to miss chances to capitalize on business opportunities.

A Cloud Readiness Assessment from the MindStream Cloud Transformation Team arms organizations with the Cloud Readiness Assessments for enterprise businesses to evaluate and help you with your cloud roadmap.

Failing to prepare can set the stage for failure.

Many organizations have failed to achieve success with cloud computing, because they failed to develop a cloud strategy rooted in the definition and delivery of IT services linked to business outcomes.

Outlining and defining key components such as:

• Identify the cloud-computing-related IT services you will offer or procure.
• Document the internal processes that will be affected by the identified cloud services.
• Map applications and workloads to the associated cloud services.

A Cloud Readiness Assessment can help answer these questions and more.
