The cloud has become a core component of any businesses strategy. The benefits are enormous and include increased business agility, lower IT Infrastructure costs, increased productivity, and reliability to name just a few.
One of the biggest challenges we hear about, is how to go about building a strategy for cloud adoption and a plan for the migration itself.
- Why the cloud is a good move for your business and how to know when you are ready
- What the cloud is and what models are available
- Application models that you need to consider
- Common Application Migration Strategies that you can adopt
- The Migration Process Itself - step by step
INNOVATE recognises that existing systems may still have value and can be married with newer cloud-based technologies to provide quick, affordable and comprehensive IT solutions tailored to your needs.
Before deciding how to adopt the cloud, it is key to understand the benefits you will realise and how they fit in with your overall business and IT objectives, as well as the different concepts and strategies you can employ with public, private, and hybrid, along with SaaS, IaaS and PaaS.
With ever-changing technology, it is important to stay up to date with security, risk management, and governance and how the cloud can continue to help solve those challenges for your business.
One final thing to remember is that moving to the cloud is not just an IT project or initiative. It requires organisational alignment and needs everyone’s buy-in for it to be truly successful.
