Planning for cloud migration
and modernization
We started by
looking at which
environmental
machines weren't
being used. We
quickly looked at
the utilization of
machines and large
storage accounts.
These things were
costing us high
amounts of money
and weren't being
used very often or
at all.
Define your strategy
Define and document your motivations
Document business outcomes and motivations, such as exiting your
datacenter, increasing cost saving, or designing for greater agility.
Involve and align key stakeholders
Facilitate a smoother, faster migration that meets organizational goals
by enlisting broad support. Create a center of excellence with a cross-
functional team made up of IT, finance, and business owners.
Engage a cloud migration and modernization partner
Augment your cloud skillset and reduce risk as you migrate and
modernize your workloads. Team up with a managed service provider
that offers support through the entire process and beyond.
