It details the equipment required, the way that the functionality of the system can be maintained in the new distributed environment, the workflow changes that need to be actioned and/or accommodated where appropriate, and covers the different ways that such a system can be deployed, either cloud or on-premises.
Lastly, it recommends a staged rollout schedule for deployment.
