Cloud Readiness, What to Consider?
With many companies moving to and using the Cloud, it makes sense to adopt the technology as quickly as possible to reap the advantages. In adopting a Cloud infrastructure though, you want to implement a seamless migration, and to do this, it is suggested to have a Cloud readiness assessment conducted by experts in the field to identify a strategy for migration. However, deciding to implement a Cloud solution is only the first step of a detailed process that must include a detailed cloud assessment of the following factors:
- Existing technology: Before implementing a Cloud solution, business leaders must ask the following questions:
- Is our existing technical infrastructure able to move to the Cloud?
- What are our current business and technical requirements?
- Can a Cloud solution be tailored to match?
- People and change: The introduction of new technology into the workplace always causes some level of disruption. Before adopting Cloud-based workloads, it is important to understand the people who will be using it day to day. Will there be resistance to this technological change? How can end users be educated on the optimal use of Cloud technology so that they embrace the change?
