Business Continuity & Performance, and iv. Change Management & User Adoption. By integrating these quadrants, enterprises can optimize costs, mitigate risk, and ensure a seamless migration process. Case studies and best practices are included that support the framework to provide a structured roadmap for CIOs, IT leaders, and data architects. It will help navigate successful cloud migration journey for organization.
