Making the decision to implement a multi-cloud strategy is difficult.

From the decision to pursue a multi-cloud journey to defining the requirements to laying the foundation to identifying and deploying applications and services to the multi-cloud environment, the process requires a solid strategy and flawless execution to succeed, say experts at Taos.

A multi-cloud strategy can enable choices in cloud locations that result in better performance or satisfies residency requirements; provide cost advantages or ensures business continuity; offer better protection, or help avoid vendor lock-in.

Consider the timing of the multi-cloud strategy launch - Work closely with the finance team to analyze the total cost of implementing a multi-cloud strategy.

Prepare a proper plan - Rushing to implement a multi-cloud strategy will result in inefficiencies, rework, and in some cases, a total replacement of the work performed.

"Despite an uptick in adoption, multi-cloud strategies are thought of as a nice to have an option rather than a transformative business option, deciding to implement a multi-cloud strategy not very obvious," said Hamilton Yu, CEO of Taos.
