Data-driven best practices to help you maximize cloud value
summary
Quantitative research combines 30 in‑depth interviews and a global survey of 700 respondents to test 45 recommended behaviors; adoption maturity across 45 best practices (grouped into six categories) correlates with measurable KPI improvements. High‑maturity orgs have ~80% of infrastructure in cloud and report cost improvements (example headline: 11.7% infrastructure spend reduction), while targeted tactics like diverse pricing models deliver 75–90% cost savings versus on‑demand. Top actions are a socialized migration roadmap, a holistic cloud business case, active executive sponsorship, and a centralized cloud team to operate and optimize the environment.
