How a company transitions into the cloud is just as important as making the decision to adopt cloud. But don't rush into it. While there is no standard cloud implementation process for High Tech companies, there is a sequence of steps that we recommend.
Evaluate applications, workloads and assets to understand their baseline. What do these assets accomplish, how effective are they and how much does it cost?
In order to realize ROI and measure potential cost savings, the cloud migration should follow of well-structured roadmap that includes business goals and services strategy.
Understand which applications should be re-platformed, re-factored or re-formatted into an as-a-Service platform. Deploy cloud to legacy applications that should be rebuilt.
Involve the talent in your cloud transformation in terms of organizational structure, personnel and mindset. It's not just shifting workloads, it's shifting corporate culture.
