Transitioning to a cloud environment will require agencies to ensure that the appropriate skills are available to successfully identify, deploy and maintain cloud solutions during and beyond adoption. Agencies may be required to upskill their workforce or selectively contract out their requirements as ICT teams move towards becoming cloud service brokers. Determining how to access these skills will assist in developing your business case and planning for any additional resources.
