Things to Consider When Migrating from On-Premises to Cloud: Leverage Oracle and Microsoft Partnership

There are crucial elements to take into account for a smooth migration from an on-premises to a cloud environment before you dive in. Here are some important details:

1. Data Integrity: Ensure that your data will be preserved throughout the migration. Important data shouldn’t be lost in the process.

2. Cost analysis: Moving to the cloud entails both immediate and long-term expenses. Analyse the costs thoroughly to determine the ROI.

3. Security & Regulatory: If you’re in a regulated field, especially, make sure the cloud services you’re implementing adhere to the relevant security standards and regulatory criteria.

4. Downtime: Plan ahead for any potential operational hiccups that may arise throughout the relocation process. Keeping your business activities as uninterrupted as possible is the goal.

5. Skill Gap: Are your present IT staff members qualified to oversee the new cloud-based environment? You might need to spend more money on training or think about employing professionals.

6. Architecture Compatibility: Verify that the cloud services you wish to use are compatible with the architecture of your current system. Compatibility problems may cause obstacles that may cost money to remove later.

7. Backup Plans: In the event that the migration does not proceed as expected, always have a rollback strategy. safer to be safe than sorry.
