CLOUD MIGRATION & TRANSFORMATION: SUPREME DISCIPLINE FOR IT EXPERTS
The trip is firmly planned. But what do I have to take with me? How do I have to prepare? What is the first step? And what comes next? That is how the task could be outlined that the managers of the migration into the cloud are faced with. Now, moving experts are needed, just like they are being utilised also in IT sourcing and data centre relocations. To migrate individual systems in the context of complex processes and to not lose sight of ongoing operations in this is a challenging task. To enable new teams in new roles for the specific work and to support them up to smooth new routine is an important support for the future day-to-day cloud business.
