Build Your Cloud Strategy before adopting

Recently, I have been seeing reports of a number of companies facing issues with Cloud. Upon closer inspection, it seems that those companies seemed to have adopted Cloud without really having a strategy or planning out the Cloud roadmap.

The main reason being that it is easy to adopt Cloud nowadays-- just go on the web, search for a vendor and pay!! Bingo, you are on Cloud!!

But you seem to be missing the basic tenet of management-- have a plan, have a strategy!! Without a plan or a srategy you will end up in a mess. Remember Cloud gives you easy access to tech and apps, but it's not magic wand to take care of your unknown issues.

So plan, build a stratgey and then adopt Cloud!! And then you will see the magic of Cloud
