A Playbook to Decode Cloud Strategy: Bridging Business Objectives and IT Priorities

April, 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cloud transition is no longer a question of if but how well it is achieved. Despite the widespread shift to cloud-based ecosystems, many enterprises still lack a cohesive cloud strategy that balances cost efficiency, business agility, and risk management.

This playbook offers guidance on ROI-driven migration planning, robust vendor and data governance, cost transparency through FinOps tools, and cloud-specific contract negotiation.

It also highlights key risks in cloud adoption, from vendor lock-in to hidden costs. To unlock long-term value, enterprises need to shift from a cost-first mindset to a strategic and outcome-focused approach.
