Abstract
Many companies are migrating their on-premise IT infrastructures to the cloud, to take advantage of lower costs and better overall support. This journey, however, is not as simple as flicking a switch and everything is there. Many factors impact the speed and stages that a migration should go through. They include, but are not limited to:
- application design and support for web
- validation of systems
- integrations to other cloud and on-premise system
- security of communications, data, and users
- IT policies
- IP policies
We will go over how a number of these hurdles can be identified and managed, using various use cases of IDBS moving customers from on-prem to The Cloud.
