Cloud Migration Assessment Services

According to the survey conducted by an organization on  Cloud Migration Failures nearly more than 50% of the cloud migrations have been a failure. One of the primary reasons for failure had been the fact there were no tangible business cases for Migration. While cloud is the future the objective of the CIOs should not be to migrate to the future without a ROI. Every Cloud Migration must have a clear business case for migration, and it is usually driven by a good template for ROI.

Migration ROI starts with the understanding of the development, staging and production environment footprint of deployment.
