Migrating a company's operations to a cloud environment can present a great challenge. However, companies recognize the potential benefits such as scalability, flexibility, efficiency and access to new technologies.

Here we present a guide based on expertise, experience and methodologies that highlights the importance of business objectives in each phase of the journey to Cloud.

1. Explain the business case: Based on a deep and complete analysis of the organization, define a business case in which the business objectives (non-technological) that are to be achieved with the implementation of the journey to Cloud are established. . In this context, rather than proposing specific technologies, objectives should be established such as "improve customer experience", "greater speed in launching new products" or "reduce operating costs".

2. Applications: Depending on the business case, establish which applications will be involved in the journey to Cloud and what implementation challenges will impact the company; since in some cases they may be current apps that need to be optimized for cloud environments, or critical applications in legacy systems (legacy systems) that, to function in a Cloud environment, require a more in-depth modernization process.

3. Scenarios: Poses implementation scenarios, in which, in addition to the technical factors, the impacts that the process may have within the organization are foreseen, such as phases, roles, metrics, personnel, budgets, planned goals, etc The scenarios, to a large extent, are a map of the journey to Cloud that the company will undertake.

4. Migration: The journey to Cloud itself, the process of migrating business operations to the chosen cloud environment - which could adjust to different architectures or models: private, public, hybrid or polycloud.

5. Post-migration analysis: Analysis, advanced monitoring and evaluation of the ongoing journey to Cloud process.

In summary, taking a company to the cloud involves a business decision and not a decision entirely of a technological nature. We must take advantage of technological innovation with a clear focus and business perspective that should not be lost sight of. Would you like to know more about this topic?
