Cloud Migration Strategy

Migrating to the cloud can bring numerous benefits, but it can also present challenges, especially when dealing with legacy systems that may not be fully compatible with new cloud models. Tangoe helps you by assessing the current hosting environment, software, dependencies and identifying the portability of specific workloads to a cloud environment, including potential challenges that may need to be remediated prior to migration.

During the engagement, we review the application inventory and dataflow mapping to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud. We also take into account security and compliance requirements, as well as your software and licensing strategy. Additionally, we ensure that business continuity and disaster recovery requirements are integral to the migration plan.
