This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.
The cloud is a key enabler of innovation and its value must be assessed in every enterprise. In this session, Paul Flach will illustrate an effective process for assessing existing data management and enterprise applications to determine a cost-effective plan for migrating to the cloud. This process scales and accelerates the data management modernization process while, at the same time, rationalizing the infrastructure required to support the business application and analytical needs.
Cloud migrations have been typified as projects that take too long and cost too much. In order to create a positive ROI for a transition to the cloud, it's important to collect comprehensive assessment data. Paul will describe the data that you need to estimate the effort necessary for cloud-native and pure migration methods, choose the right approach for each business application, and prepare you to execute an effective transition.
