Accenture has five steps to take to have a successful cloud strategy

The development of the pandemic led to a powerful reminder from 2020 for all those organizations that did not yet have agile, adaptable and scalable systems. Because companies must be flexible, capable of maintaining their operations and meeting the demand of their customers; they can achieve this by having a five-step intelligent cloud transformation.

It is the first step for organizations to achieve that ascent to the cloud, therefore it is necessary to select the appropriate infrastructure for the needs of the business. Based on the following premise, if most of the loads are not migrated to the cloud, it is not possible to obtain the full value of the transformation for the business, that is, for companies to be more efficient, resilient and customer-oriented.

Within this step three key points are needed. First, understand that the cloud is an enabler to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth. Second, a systematic framework is required to provide and measure business value (now and in the future) that encompasses technology, operations, and financials. Third, the most accessible opportunities that will help finance complex migrations in the future must be prioritized.

Modernize and accelerate

According to Accenture, if the company really wants to speak the cloud language, it will need to immerse itself in all that it entails. In this sense, it means having a fast and agile IT capacity, at the same time having fast, efficient, inexpensive and recoded applications for the cloud.

Run and optimize

New operational functions (constantly monitor and optimize) are required for the cloud. IT maintenance personnel need to be proactive, so that they sometimes anticipate a carbon footprint impact. Additionally, according to some studies that Accenture has carried out, it recommends that companies work with a partner who is responsible for managing the cloud on a daily basis.

Innovate and grow

The cloud is a key piece to achieve a digital transformation in your company. Through it, you can experiment at high speed, create new instantaneous environments, and test new ideas to find out what works – quickly and safely.
