To my understanding, a cloud roadmap is an essential requirement both for the whole cloud journey and for the business. For example, if we were talking about a trip to another country, you would want to plan as much as possible, wouldn’t you? You would need to understand the dates, the budget, logistics etc. if you didn’t – things might go wrong.
Cloud is not just a technology. It’s the backbone, a foundation. For some companies, it’s the foundation for an entire business — they will be building products in cloud, they will be running their solutions in the cloud, and everything that is in the cloud is subject to security, compliance, performance, costs.
