From Cloud-First to Cloud-Right: The Workload Profile Framework (3 of 7)
Cloud-first gave organizations a direction. What it didn't give them was a decision framework. This blog introduces the workload profile model — five dimensions that determine where a workload actually belongs — and explains why getting placement right requires discipline, not default thinking.
From Cloud-First to Cloud-Right: Why "Cloud-First" Broke Down — and What Replaced It (2 of 7)
"Cloud-first" was the right call when orgs needed to break free from legacy infrastructure. What's replacing cloud-first isn't a retreat — it's deliberate, workload-by-workload placement decisions tied to business value, not migration momentum.
Cloud-first got us moving. It also showed us where judgment matters more than speed.
From Cloud-First to Cloud-Right: The Public Cloud Horizon (1 of 7)
Organizations are moving beyond default cloud-first strategies and toward deliberate, workload-by-workload placement decisions based on economics, risk and business value. This first in a 7-part series explores why hybrid is intentional, why repatriation isn't retreat, and why the next winners will be defined by placement discipline — not migration volume.
Why Cloud Governance Fails — And How to Fix It
Most organizations adopt cloud before they establish governance—then spend years battling runaway costs, siloed decisions, and commitments they can't unwind. In this episode of WWT Research's four-part IT Value Creation series, Josh Bushman and Jenny Halidik unpack the structural gaps that undermine cloud ROI and explain why FinOps tools alone cannot solve the problem. This episode explores the Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) as the foundation for sustainable cloud governance, showing how cross-functional decision-making, shared accountability and continuous optimization transform cloud from a cost risk into a strategic advantage. If your cloud spending is unpredictable, commitments feel misaligned or optimization never sticks, this conversation offers a clear roadmap for building governance that works at enterprise scale.
