Effective Cloud Migration

• Cloud migration is a business necessity. However,
  before proceeding to it, you'll want to make
  plans to avoid any failure.
• You need to protect all data you're moving to the
  cloud. List down potential issues that you might
  encounter along the way.

  Migration

4
Get Your Team Involved

• Keep your team informed about the progress of the
  cloud migration. You need them to know what is
  happening so you can as well get their support
  throughout.
• If anything, you need to gather their insights
  on which cloud platform will best fit your
  business needs. This way, you can be sure that
  the decision you make is favorable to everyone.

5
Start Small

• You don't want to move all your data to the cloud
  in one go. Decide which applications and
  workloads will be transferred first and how you
  will go about the transition.
• By starting small, you also avoid major migration
  issues. More importantly, you also avoid
  significant business disruptions. You can work
  your way slowly until you cover all data across
  the business.

6
Learn More About Downtimes

• Find out how long you can expect downtimes to be.
  The downtime can go for a few minutes and also
  last for days.
• You need to prepare for these interruptions so
  you can avoid losses. Coordinate closely with
  your cloud migration service provider and team
  members.

7
Continue To Test and Improve

• There is no 100 guarantee that everything will
  go as you planned. That being said, continue to
  monitor and check.
• You might spot issues which need immediate
  resolution. While you already have everything
  mapped out, you might need to change directions
  at one point. Be flexible as changes may mean
  increased efficiency.

8
Backup Data

• Since moving to the cloud is a major procedure,
  you'll want your team members to be prepared.
  Train them on what needs to be done before,
  during, and after the migration so you can be
  sure that everyone is working toward the same
  objective.
• You need everyone to know, too, that migration
  will have its own share of risks. Data can be
  corrupted so to be sure, backup and only allow a
  selected few to access confidential data.

9
Have Everything Written

• Outsourcing a company to help you with your cloud
  migration has several benefits. However, you need
  to exercise caution when choosing a partner.
• See to it that everything is in writing so you
  won't be empty-handed when an issue arises.  You
  should have full control of your data, especially
  if you change your mind along the way and decide
  to back out of the contract.
