To successfully transition to a cloud operating model, the primary organizational aspects that need to be considered are People, Technology, and Process. People are critical because they need to adapt to new roles and acquire new skills to effectively work in a cloud environment. Technology refers to the IT infrastructure, tools, and platforms that must be aligned with the cloud model. Process involves the workflow and practices that need to be re-engineered to fit the operational model of the cloud. Together, these three aspects—People, Technology, and Process—form the core pillars necessary for a seamless transition to a cloud-based operating model.
