Under the hood of cloud migration

Data migration is the core of most digital transformation programmes. However there are some pitfalls to overcome to get the job done.

The process of transferring data between systems can become intricate in the absence of a well-defined approach. As per findings by the Cloud Security Alliance, a staggering 90% of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) have encountered setbacks or failures in migration endeavors, primarily attributing these issues to the intricacies involved in transitioning to cloud-based platforms.

Throughout this migration, data runs the risk of being misplaced or corrupted, potentially leading to users being unable to locate essential information necessary for their tasks within your digital workspace. Nevertheless, by implementing an appropriate migration strategy, you can provide substantial support to your workforce, empowering them to excel in your contemporary work environment.

To achieve this objective, it is imperative to guarantee that data is accurately positioned during the cloud migration process. Moreover, the migrated data must retain its accessibility, usability, and searchability within the digital workspace, ensuring its effectiveness in facilitating novel work methodologies.

How can this be accomplished? By leveraging a pivotal capability in migration: mapping.
