A successful application migration to the cloud starts with understanding where you are. Here's how to plan a winning strategy:

• Take a Holistic View: Don't just focus on technical aspects. Consider your business goals (present and future), critical deadlines, and your team's capabilities.

• Identify Your Time-to-Value: Different migration approaches offer varying speeds to value realization. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, but the key is knowing you can always build on your progress and unlock more cloud benefits incrementally.
