Recommendation

An expert team has compiled an authoritative report from MIT SMR Connections, produced for Amazon Web Services. The analysis offers a step-by-step structure to help managers planning a technology migration. The guide features insights about innovation at the authors’ own organizations and a helpful action checklist. The authors and their respective companies include Frank Della Rosa, research director at IDC’s Saas and Cloud practice; Roberto Masiero, senior vice president at ADP Innovation Labs; Martin Mocker, research affiliate at MIT Sloan Center for Information Systems Research; Deepak Mohan, research director at IDC’s Enterprise Infrastructure practice; Rudy Puryear, partner and director of Bain & Company; and Cynthia Stoddard, senior vice president and CIO at Adobe.

Summary

Begin to develop a technology migration strategy by identifying priorities.

Adobe’s priorities include both external (customer) and internal (employee) experiences.

Determine the tools and services that your objectives necessitate.
