Cloud Migration
Taking you from file cabinet to cloud for greater operational efficiency.
To the Cloud?
The decision to move your data to the cloud is one of the most important ones you will make. Why? Because it will not only determine where all your past and present data lives, but everything in the future. It creates a shift in the way your employees work, and depending upon your business, could raise security concerns as well as compliance and regulatory issues. This is when you need a strong consultant team who has been through these migrations before and can help you navigate the pitfalls like security and compliance while also bringing the expertise on how to achieve a solid return on investment.
What Happens if You Don’t Migrate?
There are several good reasons to move to the cloud, many of which have been documented by businesses who blazed the trail before you.
Among the many top reasons to migrate include cost efficiency and competition. With many companies opting for remote or hybrid work models, keeping sensitive data that needs to be accessed quickly in multiple locations is critical. Additionally, if you plan to integrate any AI tools into your operation, moving data to the cloud will be essential for optimum results and ROI.
On-premises infrastructures for data storage can cost companies hundreds if not thousands of dollars every year in square feet. Additionally, accessibility, collaboration, and business continuity are all big reasons to move data to the cloud.
The task of moving all the data – in many cases decades worth of valuable information – can be daunting at best. So where do you start? An assessment is the best way to fully understand what you have and what you need – for today and tomorrow.
The NRG Cloud Migration Assessment
The Assessment
The NRG Assessment is a thorough assessment of your operation where our highly trained consultants will immerse themselves in your operation to fully understand your needs. It’s during this assessment that developing a cloud migration strategy may be suggested.
strategy & planning
To create a migration strategy, the consultants will evaluate your current infrastructure to understand the existing IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, data storage, and networking. We will then define your business goals, Identify Workloads for Migration and begin the work to Choose the Right Cloud Provider and Services.
the rfp process
The consultant may choose to initiate an RFP process, or work with you to identify one of the major cloud services that work for the size, type and geographic location of your operations. During this time, cost evaluation and budget planning will play a major role. To learn more about the RFP process in detail, click here.
management
Throughout this process, it’s crucial to maintain strong communication among all stakeholders, document every step, and be prepared to adapt as necessary. Migrating to the cloud is not just a technical change but a transformation in how a business operates and manages its IT resources. NRG understands this and delivers.
