Organizations have understood that cloud computing is the future for the rapid growth. Organizations are quickly migrating to cloud environment and making the most out of the benefits the technology has to offer. Companies also should understand their data structure, requirements etc before choosing cloud migration strategy.

As the name sounds, lifting from one environment and shifting to another environment. Another contributing factor for choosing this strategy is to provide the workforce with the necessary time they need to brush up on their skills.

2. Re-platform “Lift, think, and shift” strategy

In Re-platform cloud migrations strategy, the core architecture of the organization remains the same. It is a quick migration strategy, same as before that is known for its ability to reduce overhead and management costs by many folds.

3. Re-purchase “drop and shop” strategy

Depending on their needs, an organization can abandon their existing service provider and shift their entire architecture to a new cloud based application. An example of such a transfer is shifting from one CMS application to another.

4. Re-Architecting strategy

It is a bit complicated, to begin with, but if executed correctly, an organization can benefit a lot from the same. Re-architecting the core operations of a business so that the same works efficiently with the cloud-based application is a step that a business can take to:

  • increase its sales
  • enhance its revenue generating abilities
  • improve its conversion rates and
  • Successfully reposition itself in the market.

5. Retire strategy

It is the strategy that shows them which resources they are not using to their maximum potential. By retiring those resources, a business can reduce its operational costs by many folds.

Cloud migration is a lengthy process but the same can become seamless given the business is doing all that it can to focus on the little things. It is best to start identifying those processes that are small yet critical to the business. Post identification, migrate the application to the cloud. In this way, one can gradually migrate the entire architecture of their business to the cloud without the need to shut down the entire business.
