Cloud Adoption Framework

Embrace a holistic and sustainable cloud adoption framework that minimizes risks, maximizes ROI, and fosters business innovation.

Gain Agility in the Cloud

On-premises infrastructure do not provide the agility you need to keep pace with changing customer needs, high data volumes and new cyber threats.

It’s hard to scale an on-premises environment to meet demand, as you must go through the lengthy process of buying and installing hardware. Ongoing maintenance is needed to ensure your infrastructure is secure and performs optimally. This requires specialized skills that are challenging to find and expensive to retain.

Moving applications to the cloud can make them more secure, agile and available. But your migration will only succeed if everyone adopts your new cloud tools.

Adastra’s proven cloud adoption framework helps you accelerate your cloud adoption journey. It provides a structured approach and best practices to help you streamline your migrations, maintain continuity during your transition and drive cloud adoption.

The framework helps businesses across all stages of their cloud journey–from the initial planning and assessment phases through migration, optimization and governance.

Success Story

AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Implementation

Skylight Health Group’s clinics each use different accounting software—making it hard for the organization to consolidate its reporting. The group needed a centralized reporting tool and a repository to store electronic medical records (EMR) data.

We provided a data lake that stores data in any format and from any source. Our team also implemented a data warehouse to house information from the data lake and allow for consolidated reporting.

Cloud Adoption Framework FAQ

What is a cloud adoption framework?

A cloud adoption framework is a structured approach that guides an organization through moving to and operating in the cloud. It covers business strategy, planning, preparation, migration, innovation, and management and governance. Following a framework reduces risk, controls cost and makes sure cloud investments support clear business goals rather than isolated projects.

The most common are limited scalability, because adding capacity means buying and installing hardware; ongoing maintenance and upgrades that consume IT time; high upfront and running costs; and security and disaster recovery that depend on in-house resources. These challenges slow innovation and are the main reasons organizations adopt a cloud framework.

Adastra’s framework follows six stages: business strategy, planning, preparation, migration, innovation, and manage and govern. Each stage has clear deliverables, from a business case and landing zone to migration waves and an operating model. This sequence keeps risk low and ensures your cloud environment is secure, cost-efficient and ready for new initiatives.

Yes. Adastra implements the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework and adapts it to your organization. We assess readiness across business, people, governance, platform, security and operations, then build a roadmap and execute it with you. The same principles apply to Azure and Google Cloud environments, so you get one consistent approach.

It depends on the size of your application portfolio, dependencies and organizational readiness. Adastra starts with a readiness assessment and a business case, then plans migration in waves, moving lower-risk workloads first. Early waves deliver value within months, while the framework ensures later, more complex migrations follow the same proven, secure process.

Build cost management into governance from day one. Adastra sets up tagging, budgets, monitoring and regular optimization reviews as part of the manage and govern stage. Resources are right-sized and unused capacity is removed, so cloud adoption delivers the expected cost savings instead of creating unexpected bills at the end of each month.

It makes security a design principle rather than an afterthought. Adastra implements industry-standard security practices in the landing zone, including identity and access management, encryption, network controls and continuous monitoring. Governance policies then apply consistently to every new workload, which protects your data from cyber threats and simplifies compliance audits.
