Off into the cloud – your successful entry

How do companies implement cloud computing successfully?

Experience has shown that a company that has grown over the years can hardly move all of its IT, which has also been developed over time, entirely into the cloud overnight. It is far more likely for companies to first solve specific current problems, support departments with a special cloud solution, outsource certain systems, or implement a long-term strategy step by step to migrate all their IT to the cloud. Regardless of the ultimate objective and the size of the cloud project, companies should obtain advice from a partner with a comprehensive understanding of both the cloud and the on-premise world of IT. Companies need the know-how of a true cloud expert for an ideal start in the cloud.

In your opinion, what defines a cloud expert?

A cloud expert is familiar with both the new and the old world of IT, and uses this knowledge to ensure that companies reap the full benefits of cloud solutions. They should focus on individual customer requirements, find a perfectly fitting cloud solution, and be able to integrate it with the existing on-premise systems to create a harmonious and stable functional whole. Rather than talking the customer into throwing all existing systems overboard, they find exactly the right mix of cloud and on-premise. They skillfully combine the benefits of the public cloud with those of the private cloud according to the needs. Naturally they are also able to migrate the entire IT to the cloud, either in small steps or in one giant leap.
