Introduction
Rapid proliferation of digital technologies has accelerated change and increased competition
across a range of market segments and industries. Because sustaining any particular competitive
advantage has become increasingly difficult, enterprises are being forced to reinvent themselves at increasingly shorter time
intervals. For example, 50% of companies on the S&P 500 are projected to be replaced in the next
decade.
Similarly, peoples’ evolving expectations and behaviors are putting pressure on public sector organizations to improve digital service delivery. Organizations across
the globe are digitally transforming; they are leveraging digital technologies to drive
organizational change that allows them to adapt to changing market conditions, delight their
customers, and accelerate their business outcomes.
Millions of AWS customers, including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and
leading government organizations, are leveraging AWS to migrate
and modernize legacy workloads, become data-driven, digitize and optimize business processes, and reinvent operating and business models. Through cloud powered digital transformation (cloud transformation),
they are able to improve their business
outcomes, including lower costs, reduce business risks, improve operational
efficiency, become more agile, innovate faster, create new revenue streams, and improve customer
and employee experience.
Your ability to effectively leverage cloud to digitally transform (your cloud readiness) is
underpinned by a set of foundational organizational capabilities. The AWS CAF identifies these
capabilities and provides prescriptive guidance that thousands of organizations around the world
have successfully used to accelerate their cloud transformation journeys.
