GO Agility Quadrant
The GO Agility Quadrant is a visual representation of how we serve clients along their journey of digital transformation — as they become faster and more agile, and move to and grow within the cloud — and it highlights important steps every business must take along the way to become a truly agile organization and increase their ‘digital tech intensity,’ as Satya Nadella, CEO at Microsoft, has phrased it.
There are two primary vectors of the GO Agility Quadrant — organizational and technical agility:
Organizational agility is the people side of the equation. It’s about enabling people and removing silos so teams can see, acknowledge and respond to new customer needs and new competitive requirements quickly and seamlessly.
Technical agility is the ability to update and change your infrastructure, applications, data and business processes just as rapidly as the people and teams in your organization can shift their focus. With technical agility, cloud and technology automation is essentially the driver.
No two clients are the ever same — we know this and will join, support and lead them on their unique journey to become more platform native, regardless of their respective starting point.

We wrote the book on Cloud Adoption Framework
Embracing cloud in your organization takes more than lifting and shifting data and apps. Our book takes a deeper look at what a business needs to be successful in the digital age, and how to unlock the value that comes with a Digital Operating Model.
“Building a Digital Operating Model with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure is a must read for leaders looking to understand how the rules of the game have changed, and importantly how to unlock the value that comes with the right model, great technologies and engaged people.”
– Clare Barclay, Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft UK
