Migration to the cloud is the transition process that many companies have carried out, changing from the traditional computing model, which relies on storing data and systems in physical environments (local servers, HD) to using data and installing systems on servers in the cloud.

Muitas destas soluções em nuvem, contam ainda com o modelo de licenciamento chamado SaaS – Software as a Service. Neste novo modelo, a empresa, ao invés de arcar com os custos de uma licença vitalícia, contrata – como se fosse um aluguel – os direitos de usar determinado sistema até quando lhe parecer útil.

Migrating to the cloud is a trend that is here to stay thanks to inúmeras vantagens que este serviço pode prover: redução de custos, otimização de processos e garantias de security.

However, a cloud migration project, in addition to having an expert partner in the subject, needs to consider some specific aspects:

1) Existe uma infinidade de serviços cloud que são oferecidos ao mercado. Um dos pontos fortes é a escalabilidade e flexibilidade da solução, bem como o tipo de computação que precisa ser contratada: solução hibrida, pública ou privada. Fique atento durante a contratação do serviço de seu provedor de nuvem.

2) Make a good project planning: what systems/services will be migrated and what is the migration schedule. Do not underestimate the testing steps, especially when dealing with existing integrations with legacy systems. These integrations will likely need to be “pointed” to the new cloud environment and require testing. In fact, any system or service to be migrated needs to be homologated before the traditional model is shut down. Assertive planning minimizes project risks

3) As with all new technology, the people who will operate it need to be trained on the new platform. Make sure your IT team is prepared for this new challenge.
