For all of cloud computing’s potential, business leaders need to keep their feet firmly on the ground and recognize the sheer complexity of cloud migration. Research indicates that one in three cloud migrations fail and only 25% of businesses meet their migration deadlines.
To compound this further, 90% of CIOs have experienced failed or disrupted cloud-based data migration projects. Clearly, this is a massive undertaking that’s littered with hidden pitfalls. A troubled migration can potentially cripple businesses with huge overspending due to faulty applications, lost data, weakened security, and at worst, a re-migration back to on-premise IT systems.
