Cloud Strategy
Definition
Cloud Strategy
A cloud strategy connects technology, business goals, processes, and security requirements into a clear, actionable framework. It defines why a company uses the cloud, which solutions are suitable, and how implementation is carried out securely and scalably.
In detail
Without a clear strategy, siloed solutions, uncontrolled costs, and security gaps emerge. A well-designed cloud strategy creates transparency, enables targeted investments, and ensures that cloud usage contributes to business goals.
A cloud strategy is not a static document. It evolves as the organisation grows, as new services become available, and as regulatory requirements change. Regular reviews keep the strategy aligned with business reality.
