Abstract

The ECAR-CLOUD Working Group is developing this series of seven papers, Preparing the IT Organization for the Cloud. The fourth paper, Building a Migration Plan, helps you develop a cloud migration plan to guide your future efforts. A migration plan allows you to better manage organizational change, mitigate risk, and maximize the financial and service benefits of moving to the cloud. Note that this paper focuses on planning the migration; a future paper on operationalizing the cloud will look at the execution of this planning.
