How to do Cloud Transformation right?
Although 77% of business leaders agree that Cloud Transformation is a business issue, only 32% of companies have strategically planned it. So here are some tips on how you can do it the right way.
1. Connect the purpose of Cloud Transformation with your business goals
If you are planning to move to the Cloud, you need to demonstrate how it will enable your business objectives. What is the main purpose you have for doing it? Reduce operational costs, improve your employee productivity, upgrade your data security and management? In addition, make a ROI analysis to find cloud-migration and post-migration operational costs.
2. Adopt a Multi-Cloud strategy
With Multi-Cloud you get more than one public cloud service that performs different tasks, that can be customizable to suit your needs as you go, and you can include private cloud components to get the best of Hybrid Cloud. Multi-Cloud also gives you more ownership over your data, which also reduces risk in case of downtimes.
3. Get ready for training and compliance
During the Cloud Transformation process, your employees need to be prepared for that change. Therefore, you must give them structured training around the migration, as well as make sure your IT professional allies are relaying the right details on new passwords, Cloud Migration use cases and overall SaaS Digital Transformation best practices.
