Cloud Guidepost: Plan for cloud success

“Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.” – Walt Disney

As you embark on your cloud journey, it’s important to take time for planning and set yourself up for success.

I’m Bernadette Risley, Lead Customer Success Manager (CSM) for Citrix Cloud Enterprise customers. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with Fortune 100/1000 customers in both sales and service-delivery capacities, educating customers in the process of defining value and advancing their goals. Whether you’re running your own business, selling to another business, or helping a customer be successful post-sale, you should always start with a plan for success.

We crave instant gratification, immediate responses, and help from technology to remind us every 30 minutes what we need to do. Today, there’s an app for just about anything.

Taking time to set up a success plan requires dedicated thinking, expert advice, sponsorship, and careful monitoring of progress. Help is available. Citrix has created resources to guide you through the process so you can lay the foundation for your cloud journey and reach your goals.

That’s right! Goals.

You’ll need to take a look at the big picture, break it down, and set goals. Citrix Cloud Success Center can help you do just that.

The first step in our proven methodology is to plan your project. We’ve broken down all the common use cases, business outcomes, and success criteria, and you can add your own specifications. Our step-by-step audio webinar, accompanied by our Success Plan interactive workbook, is your “app” for success!

The whole notion of cloud has matured and made its way to the heart of mainstream computing. So let’s document your plan. What will success look like? How will you measure it and align with your organization’s strategic goals?

In addition to the on-demand resources available on the Citrix Cloud Success Center, I encourage you to work with your CSM to help uncover additional use cases, remove roadblocks, and advance your journey.

You know why you’re moving to the Cloud, and you know exactly who inside and outside your organization will have access to these new services. So visit the Citrix Cloud Success Center or reach out at CloudSuccess@citrix.com and let us help you succeed!
