Cloud Migration and Strategy Services
Accelerate Your Digital Transformation With On-Premise, Hybrid or Native Cloud Solutions
Cloud migrations and deployments have become critical to the success of digital transformation strategies. Companies deploying cloud apps must carefully consider the tools, processes and connections needed to secure their expanded ecosystem.
Several factors are driving the adoption of different cloud structures. Vast volumes of data continue to expand and grow exponentially due to new retention policies and regulations across industries. Disruptive competitive entrants require new products and services to be introduced much faster. Evolving regulatory, data and technical requirements are creating operational hurdles. And support for mission-critical legacy applications is diminishing, meaning that infrastructure must be migrated or decommissioned.
As cloud computing applications and workloads proliferate, many organizations struggle with rising operational and security complexity. This complexity limits system visibility, thus leading to unexpected threats and security risks.
Why Cloud Transformation Services are Needed
Successful cloud migration offers cost reductions for many organizations, improved scalability and a significant decrease in the risk of a cyber incident. In addition, cloud adoption offers optimized scalability, quicker integrations and better functionalities. Cloud migration lets IT departments reshape overall infrastructure dramatically and leverage new technologies – since they are no longer restricted to on-premises hardware and software refresh cycles.
The top cloud transformation obstacles are:
61%
Organizations fear AI-powered attacks on sensitive data
91%
Say many tools create blind spots and affect threat prevention
54%
Cite complexity and fragmentation in cloud as the top data security problem
