The white paper details common findings and tips on four main subjects to help improve understanding and mitigate challenges faced while transitioning to the cloud. The four subjects include: business drivers, organization readiness, migration considerations and organizational impact. <br\/><br\/> The section on &#8220;Business Drivers&#8221; covers the areas included in the justification for a cloud transformation, which include the cost, application modernization and faster software delivery.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;Organizational Preparedness&#8221; details the considerations that should be made when an agency organizes the transition, such as a change in operation mindset, security posture and application efficiencies.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;Migration Considerations&#8221; include the gaps between the existing environment and the cloud destination that should be considered like the pricing structures, virtualization, limited data, third party support and the services that are\/aren&#8217;t FedRAMP approved.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;Organizational Impacts&#8221; include the changes that an organization will need to consider to help be cloud smart, such as staffing, costs, security risks and policy considerations.<br\/><br\/> The DCOI PMO provides organizations with guidance on tools and resources that can be used throughout a cloud transition.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>For more help, email <a class=\"\" href=\"dcoi@gsa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link:
