The key thing to remember is this: It is not about “us vs. them.” There is plenty of work for everyone. The most suc- cessful projects we have seen happen when teams identify all the key stakeholders relevant to the undertaking and get their buy-in and participation out of the gate. The whole point is to accelerate your journey and enable your people, and it is easier to do those things when you have the right partner alongside you, instead of trying to do it alone. Over the years and hundreds of successful engagements, we have developed significant expertise and honed our methodology to effectively help our clients steer through various challenges and quickly realize the benefits of the public cloud. Whether it is in workshops and targeted assessments, as part of public cloud architecture and design, or in the development of net-new, mission-critical cloud applications, we can help you get value from cloud more quickly. Pick the right partner that will help enable your organiza- tion to be self-sufficient in the future. People Innovation Data DevOps 5. Keep Learning From It As we said earlier, cloud is not a destination but a way of doing business which involves agility, lessons learned, and additional improvements. Whatever applications, opera- tions, or services you end up migrating to the cloud, make sure you foster a culture of continuous improvement in your organization to keep getting the best you can out of the cloud. This includes constantly monitoring your spend, focusing on your security and compliance posture and innovating based on the feedback you are receiving. Do not punish failure – encourage innovation, creativity, and feed- back. A shorter feedback loop will result in better software, quicker deployment of features for customers, more effi- cient operations, fewer issues, more cost savings, and bet- ter value. Good luck with your cloud adventure, and we hope to part- ner with you on the journey. • Talent Enablement • Recruiting and Comp • Talent Retention • Continuous Learning • Role Definition • Talent Engagement • Cloud Native Structures • Code Pipelines • Multi-Cloud Platforms • AI/ML Impact • Container Strategy • Serverless and PaaS • Governance and Lifecycle • Regions Geos & Location • Formats and Structures • Cost Management • Database Type/Services • Migration and Transfer • Tools and Software • Automation Techniques • PaaS Management • Roles/Responsibilities • Canary Rollout/Rollback • IaaS + Dev Coding Practice Cloud Transformation SUMMER 2019 | THE DOPPLER | 17
