It’s no more a hidden truth now! Winning enterprises have embraced cloud as a key enabler for business transformation. And organizations with right migration, applications modernization and cloud management strategies are about 2X more successful in their digital transformation initiatives.

Today, hybrid cloud is fuelling enterprise transformation and there’s been a fundamental shift in the way businesses are run. Innovative technologies—built on cloud environments—are driving the speed and scale of digital transformation. But the promise of the cloud also triggers certain challenges. Cloud migration, modernizing mission critical applications, effectively managing workloads, and security are the top concerns for any organization.

A well-planned cloud migration strategy can bring dazzling rewards, but poor planning could spell disaster for your business case. Rather than simply shifting workloads and applications to cloud, organisations must reimagine their IT estate, including their IT operating models, to drive innovation, create new opportunities and ensure success

Modernizing apps is the key to the success of digital transformation. And any misstep here may play havoc with the cloud roadmap.
