Your criteria for a hybrid IT model will be unique to your business. What’s the ideal mix? Consider these three factors when designing your hybrid IT model: collaboration with other IT ecosystems, including suppliers and partners integration risk tolerance for data and processes hybrid IT environment security including, e.g., visibility into SaaS security Moving technology to the cloud is an important, highly visible decision. This white paper contains a detailed analysis for evaluating the factors, best practice recommendations, and a sample framework for assessing cloud readiness.
