Once you've proven the cloud value to your business through the first applications
your Cloud Foundation Team built and/or migrated, you'll need a strategy in
place to keep your adoption plan moving forward and to see greater benefits
from your cloud transformation.
Many leading businesses, such as the ones listed throughout this eBook,
have found that the answer is to free up their IT resources with a large-scale,
rapid migration of their applications to AWS. When your team sees that you're
committed to rapidly migrating to the cloud, they tend to get on board faster.
More people develop cloud skills, and momentum accelerates.
The benefits of breaking free from your legacy IT environment and practices
are just too compelling to move slowly:
> Much lower IT costs
> Elevated security and operational resiliency
> The agility to move faster than competitors
> An on-demand environment for experimentation and innovation
> Near-infinite resources to support game-changing initiatives
This is where every organization wants to be—and when "cloud first" becomes
your standard, you're there. You can move fast, deploy new services globally,
improve your time to market, free up real estate, innovate on the fly, and
respond to changes faster than you would without a cloud-first strategy.
