Cloud Migration and Modernization

#FocusOnBestPractices

Simplify your migration and modernization journey with a unified platform

Cloud migration and modernization is a continuous process that involves significant organizational change management spanning people, process, and technology. Taking a holistic approach will not only help you navigate the journey successfully but also help ensure that your organization realizes new benefits—including efficiency, agility, and scale—once your workloads are running in the cloud.

Migration and modernization to the cloud have several triggers in common when our customers think about their digital transformation.

Common ones include:

  • Cash flow challenges – This includes cash flow challenges not just for our customers, but also their entire ecosystem (e.g., suppliers, distributors, end customers). Moving CAPEX TO OPEX helps make a PNL predictable by paying only for what is consumed.
  • Cybersecurity threats – Customers are feeling more vulnerable to attackers with a dispersed and hybrid workforce
  • Scarce IT budgets/resources – Customers are reporting the need to free up IT $s to invest into other parts of the business that may need it more
  • Rapidly scaling web apps and infrastructure to meet surge demand – Several industries such as healthcare, retail have been seeing a surge in demand. They are finding that their existing systems and solutions just can’t keep up.
  • Application innovation and faster time to market – The ability to innovate fast was key to several businesses to survive lockdowns and changes in consumers spending pattern (e.g., enabling curbside pickup in apps, enabling tele health visits for medical needs)
  • Datacenter contract expiry – Many customers we speak to are viewing contract expiry as an inflection point to consider cloud migrations (“is it worth running my own given resource/cash flow challenges”?)
  • Enabling hybrid work – With lockdowns of 2020 and an increasingly hybrid workforce, cloud adoption is key to maintaining productivity and business continuity
