Moving to Cloud

• Cloud computing has changed the IT ​paradigm for good. It is no longer a source ​of competitive advantage but a must-have.​

• Broad offerings of public cloud providers​ and business applications vendors make it very difficult to select optimal services ​that will satisfy specific requirements.​

• In order to achieve success, the cloud transition process must be performed ​in a controlled way - based on ​a well-thought strategy and sound plan.

• The strategic decision about cloud ​computing adoption is followed either ​by a need for migrating existing applications ​and workloads to the cloud or switching business processes and data to cloud-native solutions.​

• Both scenarios involve complex changes ​that have to be thoroughly planned ​and effectively managed.​

• A well-designed cloud migration plan ​is one of the key factors of a successful transition project. ​

• Low entry costs encourage extensive use ​of cloud services. This may lead to an uncontrolled infrastructure cost surge.​

• Growing business and changing requirements drive new features development. ​Initially optimized architecture and infrastructure may not be adequate after multiple iterations - resulting in decreased performance and/or increased cost.​

• Periodic cloud environments auditing is ​a remedy for naturally emerging technology debt and allows controlling TCO.​
