Cloud adoption starts with the foundation. A well-structured landing zone is not optional; it is the prerequisite for moving workloads safely and for unlocking the agility leaders expect from cloud. Without it, migration efforts stall, risks multiply, and the cost of rework erodes the benefits of transformation.
The earlier this foundation is in place, the greater the advantage. Organisations that begin their cloud journey with a hardened, governed environment achieve agility faster and with lower cost. For greenfield adoption, it accelerates the move from proof-of-concept to enterprise scale. For brownfield estates, it restores order and embeds governance where sprawl has set in. In both cases, it ensures security, compliance, and financial discipline are applied consistently across the organisation.
The Cloud Adoption Accelerator provides this foundation. It is a productised model, refined through repeated delivery, that codifies best practice into automation, Zero Trust guardrails, and Infrastructure-as-Code. It can be layered into existing deployments, but its greatest value comes when adopted early — avoiding duplication, preventing rework, and enabling teams to move independently while keeping the organisation safe
