In the textbook, the areas of holistic planning were 1) known pain points, 2) business growth, 3) operational inefficiencies, 4) business model changes, and 5)Compliance.

The organization plans to grow quickly from acquisitions of other companies to gain customers. The IT departments must merge and move all operations to the cloud using Amazon Web Services. Servers, networking, and applications must all move to the cloud. Your IT Strategy document should address the move to cloud computing for an organization. You should address the five areas mentioned above and you can use the OGSM, VSEM, or TOWS methods/frameworks to come up with the IT strategy (see Figure 5.7 for an example of the OGSM method).
