More and more organizations are discovering the enormous potential of moving to the cloud. Amid a complex landscape, how do they successfully turn that potential into real value? The answer is different in every case, but overall, a managed and expert-assisted cloud migration plan is crucial. It should be structured but also flexible, with the opportunity to regularly check and reorient in response to a changing business environment. So, what does that plan look like?
A successful cloud migration strategy starts with analyzing your existing on-premises landscape. Combined with business goals and security regulations, this is used to determine your target cloud environment and core cloud services. The actual cloud migration process can take place in a phased and structured manner, prioritizing “easy wins”. The destination should be a purpose-designed cloud mix to meet your business needs and give you a competitive edge; the journey there should be clear, efficient, and disruption-free.
Whatever your current landscape or goals – from moving a single application to an enormous infrastructure – we follow a structured and consultative process to optimize your journey. It starts with a cloud readiness assessment, from which we recommend cloud solutions and jointly devise a migration strategy that conforms to your specific requirements. As a holistic framework, it also includes post-migration services. Get the full details and further insights on how we make customers’ cloud transformations work.
