What to consider when thinking About Cloud 1) What are the measurable business outcomes we are trying to achieve?? 2) How does this affect our current business & IT Strategy and/or future state? 3) Is there a relationship with other business and technology disruptions (social media, big data, mobile)? 4) What services are we considering moving to/or leveraging from the cloud 5) Which are the affected internal teams and external partners and, who has the ownership of business processes and information? 6) What are the implications, constraints and requirement changes to our business? 7) How can we define how information is shared, accessed, managed and changed? 8) What and how deep are the applications and technology dependencies 9
