Cloud Transformation
Cloud transformation is simply the process of moving your work to the cloud, including migration of apps, software programs, desktops, data, or an entire infrastructure in alignment with the business objectives of the organization.
Cloud transformation is popular because, among many other benefits, it increases the efficiency of sharing and saving data, accelerated time-to-market, enhanced organizational flexibility and scalability, and also centralize their network security. Overall, it hugely impacts the way of running a business.
Cloud transformation services
There are many cloud transformation services providers that can give you the needed assistance in assessing, building, and running your cloud environment but often organizations find it challenging to perceive the best-suited cloud solutions their business needs and more importantly the right service provider to guide them along in their cloud transformation strategy.
Here are some common areas of focus during any service provider assessment
Compatible Technology and Services- ensure that the provider’s platform and preferred technologies align with your current environment and/or support your cloud objectives.
Control over your data- look for providers that give you choice and control regarding where and how your data is stored, processed, and managed.
Reliable Security- Ensure that the provider has a reliable level of data and system security.
Reliable Performance track record- Some service providers publish information regarding their performance in the last one year, but if not, it should be supplied if asked.
Dependable crisis management- the provider should be able to handle unexpected disasters with disaster recovery provisions, processes, and their ability to support your data preservation expectations.
Ability to migrate to another provider- Before you sign up a service provider, ensure that there will be a minimum complication in case of future migration to another provider.
Service Providers profile– last but not least, you should also consider the financial status and profile of the provider.
