How the Cloud Adoption Framework can help

Many organisations face a challenge with cloud governance, a clear lack of clearly defined standards or processes. Without unified understanding or guidelines, stakeholders and teams struggle to collaborate effectively.

Issues that need addressing include limited knowledge of cloud costs, security best practices, and release management. Furthermore, there is insufficient awareness of the cloud adoption framework and how to implement Microsoft guidelines for their specific needs.

Leverage Azure to:

Ensure governance, security and compliance

Standardise software development strategy and processes across teams and suppliers

Achieve IT Sec compliant adoption of cloud tech eg. CitDev / Power Platform

Define clear application lifecycle management and/or platform strategy

Manage cloud software development and deployment at scale with Azure DevOps

Introduce a 'single pane of glass' to control the flow of all data within an organisation

Azure Maturity Assessment
