What Is an Accelerated Cloud Migration?

Migrating on-premises systems to the cloud is a vast undertaking and often involves significant trial and error.

 
Organizations have to explore the available cloud services, often without the benefit of in-house expertise on those offerings and create a plan that may not fully take advantage of the cloud. They may need to revisit their implementations quickly or suffer from migration failures, leading to wasted time and resources.

However, organizations can get it right the first time with the help of accelerated cloud migration. This process involves working with a trusted partner with vast cloud expertise who can guide the company into choosing the best cloud infrastructure for their ongoing needs. The benefits of accelerated cloud migration come in many forms.

Faster Cloud Migrations

The entire cloud migration process becomes faster, from planning to implementation. The organization does not have to go through repeated deployments to test the most appropriate cloud service for a particular migration. They can follow the recommendations from their trusted partner, moving directly to a proof of concept and other testing.

Decreased Risk

Inexperienced teams handling cloud migrations may make mistakes that could lead to data loss, data breaches and other negative consequences. Going through an accelerated migration process with a service provider that has done hundreds of cloud migrations already reduces the chance for these types of errors. If a problem does occur, they’re also better suited at identifying it and quickly addressing it.

Less Resource Waste

The time, money and technical talent needed to explore a broad range of cloud services could be better used elsewhere. With a focused approach, all of those resources can go to the right cloud service from the start.

Serving Both Short- and Long-Term Requirements

The trusted cloud migration partner can look at an organization’s short and long-term needs to determine which cloud services work best. Having the right capacity is essential to a platform being able to grow with a company and not all services offer that.

Customized Cloud Configuration

An experienced cloud migration service provider can create configurations that are fully customized to each organization. These configurations take into account the resources being used, the technical talent available to manage it and other factors.
