Situation: Datasets in Google Drive; needed S3 for Redshift/Glue integration. Task: Drive adoption. Action: I built business case (cost, durability, integration). Ran pilot with 1TB non-critical data. Quantified savings. Involved security early. Presented one-pager and Q&A. Result: Approved; migrated in 3 phases over 4 months.
Red Flag: Technical-only arguments. Pro-Move: '1TB pilot, quantified $X savings, security involved early—approval in one review.'
