Simplifying cloud migration and modernization journey with Microsoft Azure
Digital transformation is a driving force in business. And enterprises today are accelerating digital initiatives to gain a competitive edge. Read this eBook to see why cloud is such an important tool in this process and how Microsoft Azure enables you to start and accelerate migration at the pace you choose.
What are the benefits of migrating to Microsoft Azure?
Migrating to Microsoft Azure can lead to several benefits, including reduced IT costs by only paying for the resources you use, enhanced security through comprehensive multilayered controls, improved resiliency with effective disaster recovery strategies, and faster time to market for new products and services. Additionally, Azure supports a flexible migration pace, allowing organizations to transition at their own speed while maintaining operational efficiency.
How does cloud modernization differ from migration?
Cloud migration involves moving applications, infrastructure, and data from on-premises environments to the cloud, establishing a scalable and secure foundation. In contrast, modernization focuses on updating existing applications to leverage newer technologies and frameworks, enhancing user experiences and operational agility. Often, modernization builds on migration, allowing organizations to extract more value from their data and applications once they are in the cloud.
What should organizations consider when starting their cloud journey?
Organizations should assess their immediate business needs, such as optimizing costs and realizing cloud benefits quickly. They should also consider the complexity of the migration process, including the skills required and resources needed for potential refactoring. Additionally, longer-term goals like improving time to market and enhancing application innovation should guide their strategy. A Cloud Readiness Assessment can help determine the best path forward.

Dedicating your time and energy to your business’ core functions—serving your clients and building your business—is smarter than allowing yourself to get bogged down with the myriad of other tasks. You will be more successful when you focus your efforts, rather than trying to be a Jack-of-all-trades. So do what you do best, and hand off “the rest” to Your IT Department Lakeside Computers.
