Digital transformation isn’t just about new tools—it’s about changing how teams work. Key lessons I’ve observed:

1. Start with process bottlenecks, not technology
2. Empower cross-functional teams
3. Measure outcomes, not outputs

What has been the most surprising lesson your teams have learned during a transformation?

Seeking input: Has anyone drafted an SOW for a cloud-based SIEM with setup, migration, and maintenance? I’m working on a FedRAMP-authorized SIEM SOW, migrating from on-prem Splunk, covering data, searches, alerts, dashboards, and models. 
Scope includes Environment Setup: 
Cloud provisioning, configuration, testing.
Connectors/Parsers: Custom data source integration.
Content Development: Rules, use cases, threat feeds.
Performance Tuning: Query/index optimization.
Runbooks: Operational procedures.

Also required: 24x7 support, maintenance, lifecycle and application management, role-based training, and documentation. 
Must comply with NIST SP 800-53, CJIS, and FedRAMP Moderate+. Goal: Secure, scalable SIEM for rapid deployment. I may be missing elements, so suggestions are welcome. Please share redacted SOWs or tips if possible.
