An appropriate cloud operating model is critical for successful adoption of cloud and delivering greater business agility.

 **Suggestion 3.2.1 - Adopt the appropriate cloud operating model for your business aims** 

 According to your IT and business requirements, ensure that the appropriate cloud operating model is adopted. Decide which teams will build and operate your workload. Plan to move towards a model of shared ownership where the SAP Basis/Technology team and development team both build and run your SAP workload in a DevOps model.
