Cloud Migration Strategy
With 94% of companies now turning to cloud computing for fast-to-market solutions for their business-critical applications and workflows, a clear strategy and roadmap are essential to avoid the high costs associated with cloud adoption. Our approach outlines the key steps for developing a robust cloud adoption strategy:
Phase 1
Cloud Vision
Establishing a clear vision is crucial for identifying your business objectives when migrating to the cloud. Without a strong foundational architecture, organizations risk poor design decisions, increased risks, and elevated costs. We collaborate closely with our clients to understand their goals, constraints, and requirements, enabling us to create a tailored cloud architecture. This includes identity and access management, account hierarchy, tagging, and reporting. Additionally, we develop blueprints for services, orchestration, and automation, ensuring consistent and reliable resource instantiation and maintenance.
Phase 2
Cloud Value Assessment
Our exclusive Cloud Value Assessment provides the capability to rapidly spin up resources, experiment, and evolve products and services in alignment with business goals. We evaluate the costs and benefits associated with each stage of your cloud journey based on reference architectures and optimal technology standards.
Step 1
Application Analysis
We conduct a thorough portfolio data collection for the identified target applications across four dimensions to establish key application characteristics.
Step 2
Cloud Suitability & Placement
We analyze the collected data to determine cloud suitability, optimal landing zones, migration paths, and security requirements.
Step 3
Migration Pattern Decision
Applications are prioritized based on a tool-driven analysis of their benefits, functionality, complexity, and the effort required for migration and cloud security.
Step 4
TCO Analysis & Business Case
Using the migration path and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, we create a migration roadmap and assess the potential impact of migration on TCO.
PHASE 3
Cloud Roadmap
Leveraging our extensive expertise in cloud technologies, we accelerate your roadmap through our comprehensive Agile software development services. Creating a cloud roadmap is an effective way to visualize the processes required to build your cloud solution, detailing key milestones, cutting-edge technology, and estimated timelines and costs for each phase.
Phase 4
Cloud Transformation Plan
The final step in planning your cloud strategy is to establish a robust transformation plan that delivers high-quality cloud computing services and gives you a competitive edge in the cloud market. Our successful cloud transformation plan sets up a management framework that effectively coordinates and distributes cloud functions for a cohesive integrated cloud strategy.
