Start Your Journey with an AI-Powered Cloud Migration Strategy
Pursuing an automated migration strategy is critical to accelerating your journey to the cloud, reducing costs, and ensuring the success of your cloud initiatives. Without careful planning, cloud migration can lead to delays, unexpected costs, and operational risks.
Why Planning Is Essential for Successful Cloud Migration
Surveys show that:
● 55% of businesses lack clearly defined business objectives for cloud migration.
● 44% report that a lack of planning hinders their migration execution.
● 49% experience delays due to gaps in cybersecurity skills.
Automated Cloud Migration Starts with Understanding Data and Application Complexity
Cloud platforms with on-demand capacity and pay-as-you-go pricing offer agility and flexibility, but successful migration requires careful alignment with existing infrastructure and business needs. Here’s a streamlined, phased approach for migrating workloads to the cloud without business disruption:
Assess Your Environment with Automated Discovery
