Cloud Transformation

Cloud Migration

Helping you move your business to the cloud — quickly and safely.

Migrating to the cloud is more than moving on-premises servers and workloads to someone else's server. Done wrong, a cloud migration creates problems that can affect your business's agility, increase the costs associated with its operation and increase risks associated with security and compliance.

Migrating to the cloud can be a complex task

Even something as simple as migrating your documents as spreadsheets from your file storage server to a cloud-based service can be a daunting task. 

The complexity increases if your cloud strategy and cloud architecture specify moving business functions into Software as a Service (SaaS) available in the market, refactoring business functions to take advantage of Platform as a Service (PaaS) or rehosting applications to benefit from Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) flexibility and scale.

There are many things to consider before, during and after the migration. For example, user identity management, group and individual access policies, data security, availability and backup, to name a few. And if your plan involves refactoring a business function, it will also require application modernisation and software development.

The benefits continue long after systems are migrated

Moving to the cloud may be one of the most critical steps for the success of your business with long-lasting results.

Cloud platforms provide opportunities to improve organisational agility, deliver business value faster, and increase operational efficiency.   

A well-planned cloud adoption (or cloud migration) project can achieve significant benefits, including faster delivery of value, reduced cost and complexity, improved business continuity and reduced risk and greater flexibility to adapt to rapid change.
