Strategies and tools for successful cloud migration

The right strategy can help mitigate issues and boost cloud migration success

Changing business models, reliability concerns, the need for more analytics power and agility, and the desire to simplify IT management and cost structures are driving more and more companies to move the bulk of their applications portfolios to the cloud. However, significant barriers to migration still exist. Many organizations have legacy applications that simply won’t run in a cloud environment, or they have applications that will function, but that must be optimized to run effectively and provide expected value. The right strategies, coupled with the right tools and effective leadership, can ease the process of cloud migration and pave a path to success. In this podcast, Mike Kavis and his guests, Google’s Uzi Hefetz and Naomi Klamen, and Deloitte’s Amod Bavare, discuss common issues companies face in migrating applications to the cloud and strategies tools they can use to mitigate those issues and achieve migration success.

Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Google” refers to GCP (Google Cloud Platform).

Getting the knowledge on what needs to be done and understanding which applications can be moved, which ones cannot and what needs to be remediated – these are the main blockers that we find.
