5 steps for building a VMware transition strategy for public sector customers

This article provides a 5-step strategy for public sector organizations transitioning away from VMware in response to Broadcom's acquisition and changing licensing structures:

• Map out technical and business dependencies thoroughly (30-120 days)
• Build a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) to manage governance
• Carefully analyze cloud costs, understanding the shift from capital to operational expenditure
• Adopt an iterative modernization strategy that allows gradual cloud migration
• Train and certify staff for cloud skills, potentially with partner assistance

The authors emphasize that while migration can feel disruptive, it presents an opportunity to future-proof operations, leverage AWS scalability, and potentially reduce costs. Partnering with experienced cloud migration experts can help streamline the transition process.
