Description

Cloud migration—specifically, migrating legacy applications and data to a cloud environment—has become one of the top hindrances companies face when planning and implementing a cloud strategy. This is due to a number of reasons, both technical and non-technical, including the physical challenge of moving vast amounts of data to the cloud; incompatibility of non-cloud native apps with a cloud environment; and lack of on-staff knowledge to manage the migration without disrupting productivity and introducing risk.

Global System Integrators (GSIs) and Managed Services Providers (MSPs) are among a number of market players that have stepped up to support companies in their cloud strategies. They leverage their experience and cloud providers’ tools and capabilities to execute a successful migration and operation of the infrastructure. However, GSIs and MSPs themselves face challenges: gaining and retaining support from enterprise customers’ leaders, and recruiting, training and retaining qualified IT staff are among the most critical ones.
