Find out how are approach to delivering cloud capability within your organisation can help you reduce risk, improve performance and establish control.
Migrating your entire applications portfolio to the cloud can be both a daunting and unrewarding exercise. Are you able to articulate the benefits of moving each workload from its on-premise location to a cloud provider or SaaS offering? Do these benefits outweigh any sunk capital and future operational costs?
Maybe you’ve started with the low-hanging fruit and your migration project has now stalled, or perhaps your still in your proof of concept stage and you are not sure which cloud (or multi-cloud) provider is right for you.
Do you know your GCP from your GKE? Is Kubernetes the right approach for you now?
Why you might need support
- Is your business aligned on the goal? Is there a lack of clear ownership, roles and responsibilities – cloud migration should not be a purely IT led programme
- Can you articulate the business value of migrating an application or workload to the cloud, factoring in technology, operations and financial elements?
- Can you correctly prioritise the workloads for migration? This shouldn’t simply be a cost analysis, but should include a range of factors, including interdependencies, data residency requirements and the potential value that could be unlocked through upgrading an application to “cloud-native” architecture.
How we can help
- A cloud strategy that is grounded in reality, a structure that ensures clear accountability and a programme methodology that provides actionable insight into its health and performance
- You are able to easily articulate across the business the benefits of the programme and how each individual application benefits from inclusion.
- Consensus on the ordering of migration activity and the time frames to execute what could well be a multi-year programme of activity.
