We are learning more about the complexity of migrations every day; and that cloud modernisation is perhaps more accurate terminology.
The current flight en masse into the cloud is complex as organisations don't necessarily know how all their applications and infrastructure will operate together as one. And perhaps they see “the cloud” as one entity, whereas in reality there are nuances that absolutely impact your business - such as access to local zones for example. Hyperscalers, like AWS, take organisations in their vicinity closer to the source of the cloud computing and storage services they consume. This solves latency and data residency problems, ensuring they can leverage all the cutting-edge cloud tools as soon as they are relased.
Even so, organisations often have the infrastructure, networking, apps development and products teams running, but no one is talking to each other. The missing piece in a successful migration and modernisation project can simply be bringing all those people together. Getting leaders on the same page in a shared vision during your digital transformation is an integral part of changing how you operate and deliver your products and services.
Then there’s the “partner or no partner” discussion. Working with a cloud partner is an important call, and it’s linked to the scope of your project. In cutting through the complexity of cloud migration and modernisation, advisory and consulting services are highly valuable, fast-tracking your digital transformation and increasing your ROI. Advisory services, based on a profound understanding of the impact of cloud technology on a business are often the secret sauce to harnessing hyperscale services for growth.
So with plenty to consider, this eBook offers up insights beyond the act of migrating to the cloud, to help you form a decisive vision for growth.
