Building on the CAF


It all starts with a single document:

the cloud strategy.

Your business architecture defines

the current organizational state vs.

the desired future state.

Key disciplines to cloud adoption

Business architecture


Most customers don’t know what

their desired future state is...


To make the CAF easy to transpose

onto your organization, Cloudreach

has mapped this onto 4 pillars.

Real-world tips

● Cloud adoption is not a single engagement or a one time

process; it is a never-ending cycle that must continually be

evaluated for efficiency and alignment to the business.

● Your people are your most critical assets. Don’t neglect them.

Encourage innovation through experimentation.

● Foster an environment of continuous feedback.

● Be as agile as possible. Limit each foundational step to a

sprint.

● A TCO analysis only provides a snapshot (in time). Your real

world numbers will be different.
