Next steps - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Next steps

As the cloud becomes increasingly integral to business innovation, decision makers and executives can find it overwhelming to determine where to begin. The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) perspectives and mechanisms described in this guide can help you create a roadmap to accelerate your cloud transformation journey and can help you use the full power of cloud services to innovate and automate operations, instead of operating cloud workloads like they are on premises. This cloud adoption roadmap is a vital asset when beginning the process of migrating to cloud or designing cloud-native applications. Use the roadmap to convince various stakeholders of the benefits of cloud adoption.

AWS Professional Services can advise executives and decision makers about how to structure their cloud adoption journey and how to align stakeholders across various business functions, such as HR, IT, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. We can support enterprises on a variety of areas such as

  • Setting up a cloud foundation team or a cloud center of excellence

  • Supporting cloud strategy or digital strategy envisioning sessions

  • Migrating or modernizing business-critical workloads

  • Managing people and culture aspects of a cloud transformation journey
