Cloud Transition
As many organisations seek to adopt a ‘cloud first’ approach, they are re-platforming their core applications to run on the public cloud. However, some caution is required, as risk and complexity often negate the sought-for advantages of scale and agility that are associated with the public cloud. So, many organisations are veering to a hybrid world of cloud and on-premises systems and applications.
Challenges
Cloud-first for scale, security and agility
Innovation and introducing new services
Since the pandemic, flexibility, agility and scaleability have proved to be key business drivers. A cloud-based infrastructure allows organisations to be more flexible and agile, enabling swifter innovation as needs change and evolve.
Security & privacy
With cyber-threats more prominent and data protection an increasing global concern, a robust and secure infrastructure is essential. Cloud based technology gives greater across the board security, with updates simple to roll out.
Uneven workloads
Cloud technology allows an organisation to better accurately forecast the changes within your business, allowing resources to be managed better and workloads to be streamlined.
Legacy technology
Moving to the cloud does not mean having to rip and replace with added environmental impact. Legacy technology can be connected to cloud solutions. Savings in IT support and hardware allow affordable investment elsewhere, improving competitiveness.
Multi-cloud environments
There's no one-size fits all approach. Some organisations will be better suited, or require, hybrid solutions, while many will go all in for private, hosted or public cloud.
Interoperability
With flexible working and a hybrid workforce, systems need to work with other systems and offer third party and partner integration.
