Presented at RECONNECT Dive Deep – Virtual 2023
Session ID: 101020

In this session, we will discuss the often-asked question: What do you wish you had known? Migrating to or implementing a new Cloud platform is a large project — but it is only the first step to successful Cloud adoption. But that learning does not stop at Go-Live. Once you are live in the Cloud, your new priorities include onboarding new resources, establishing and following Cloud standards, and optimizing your Cloud investment. Given the ever-changing and evolving nature of Cloud Applications, there is always more. Let’s spend some time discussing lessons learned.

Objectives:

• Discuss how to handle change in the Cloud, whether it be technology or business process. The rate of change is significant and often well beyond that of on-premises. How can we handle that, and what resources are critical to this activity?
• What does your organization need to consider as it progresses along this maturity?
• Discuss the impact on people. The necessitated level of user ownership is different between on-premises and Cloud applications.
• Has your organization considered the roles required as you progress from data center transformation to application stabilization to supporting hybrid deployments before modernizing your applications?
• How to adopt an ongoing TCO optimization?
