Define the problem correctly

One of the biggest risks of migrating to the cloud is that businesses will try to do too much, too quickly, all at once.

And why wouldn’t they? Today’s cloud platforms offer so much that they can easily seem like a panacea for every business problem.

Yet too many cloud migrations fall over early on because business and technology leaders weren’t sure what they were investing in – or what they expected to deliver.

Avoiding these challenges requires spending time early on to evaluate the real business problem at hand – and taking the time now, Versent chief technology officer Tim Hope says, can make all the difference later on down the track.
