# Phase 2 - Transform

Cloud adoption design helps you convert your cloud adoption project goals into an actionable plan. Use the cloud adoption design to guide and align your technical efforts with your organization's business strategy.

In consultation with your stakeholders, document the cloud adoption project goals and your desired business outcomes, and develop a technical architecture of the proposed solution.

The actions to take in this phase are:

* Develop the technical architecture of your deployment to the PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud

* Analyze and define [the data object model](plan-object-modeling.html#planning_considerations_for_data_object_modeling) for:

  * Users and groups

  * [Roles and assignments](../identities/roles-assignments.html)

  * [Organizations](../identities/organizations.html)

  * [Authentication and authorization requirements, such as KBA, OATH, and push devices](../am-authentication/preface.html)

* [Define attribute mappings between sources and Advanced Identity Cloud](../identities/user-identity-properties-attributes-reference.html)

* [Finalize the journeys (authentication flows) and sequence diagrams](../journeys/journeys.html)

* Analyze and define migration process:

  * [Required Remote Connector Service (RCS) connectors](https://docs.pingidentity.com/openicf/connector-reference/remote-connector.html)

  * [Password migration or pass-through authentication](../identities/pass-through-authentication.html)

  * [Configuration migration for S2S](../identities/sync-identities.html)
