While today most organizations have moved at least some of their workloads to the cloud, IT managers may have hesitated to migrate certain ones for perfectly valid reasons, including:
Complexity: Some applications are so tightly integrated with others that designing roadmaps to move them all without sacrificing business continuity (incurring downtime) proved too difficult.
Regulatory, compliance, security: IT managers are worried that applications managing sensitive data could be more exposed to breaches on the public internet or that they are unable to demonstrate to regulators that potential risks have been mitigated.
Modernization costs: The costs of updating an application to make it compatible with cloud architectures might be too high.
Training and reskilling: Your teams may be devoted to business as usual (BAU) without the capacity to manage a complex migration project. Operating an application in the cloud also requires different skillsets than on premises; many organizations have IT teams that manage their on-premises workloads “like a well-oiled machine,” so why change anything?
In this eBook, we will break down compelling reasons to migrate now and how to ensure that migration is quick and cost-effective, and risks are mitigated.
