                     Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for 
Azure
Accelerate your cloud adoption with confidence using proven guidance that’s 
designed to help you create and implement the business and technology strategies 
necessary for your organization to succeed in the cloud. 
Organizations that do not have a high-level cloud strategy driven by their business 
strategy will significantly increase their risk of failure and wasted investment.
Over 50% of enterprises focus on migrating workloads from their internal 
environments when deploying into a public cloud. 28% are focused on a ‘lift and 
shift’ approach, while another 28% will undergo refactoring first.
Concerns about cloud service provider security have become counterproductive and 
are distracting CIOs and CISOs from establishing the organizational, security, and 
governance processes that prevent cloud security and compliance mistakes.
