"Cloud migration is always more than just technology," says Jeff Dirks, Chief Technology and Information Officer at TrueBlue, interviewed by the McKinsey team in 2022. As quoted from McKinsey, he conveys that after migrating most of its primary data centers in 2020, his company is now innovating rapidly, operating with significantly greater capital efficiency, and continually releasing new products and services.

Migrating its primary data centers affects both the IT side and the business side; this also aligns with Flou's value, which is "Limitless," not only aids in the IT realm but also has a positive impact from a business value perspective. One crucial aspect is its ability to assist companies in cloud innovation—implementing cloud technology to create new solutions or enhance existing ones, thus increasing a company's business value.

The application of cloud technology in business has various benefits, such as:

1. Higher security levels than physical hosting. Cloud hosting services have firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other security measures.

2. Eliminating the need to build excessive disaster recovery data centers in other regions, with all the physical allocation costs, equipment procurement, permits, and so on.

3. Utilizing the cloud boosts a company's ability to innovate with significantly greater capital efficiency.

To achieve maximum business value from cloud innovation, companies must develop a comprehensive cloud strategy that aligns with their business needs and goals. This strategy should include identifying cloud innovation opportunities, assessing risks and benefits, and developing an implementation plan.
