The cloud has evolved from a science fiction dream of tomorrow into an essential business tool. It has the power to help businesses streamline their operations, be more scalable in the face of changing demands, and enhance their ability to collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and staff.
The cloud has evolved from a science fiction dream of tomorrow into an essential business tool. It has the power to help businesses streamline their operations, be more scalable in the face of changing demands, and enhance their ability to collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and staff.
However, for those unfamiliar with all these benefits, the cloud can seem daunting, making them resistant to migration. This is due to a belief that it is too costly and too risky to migrate to the cloud. Research has shown that many business leaders assume migration costs are too high, and that making the move will diminish their decision-making power. This comes from a lack of understanding of how the cloud actually works, and how it could propel businesses to new levels of success.
The truth is that the cloud is the key to unlocking your full potential. For example, Microsoft Azure possesses a great number of applications designed to help manage, grow and streamline your operations, even offering a cost-effective and stress-free onboarding process to get you started.
Don’t let cloud myths hold you back. Allow us to show you the facts of migration and help you make the decision that will transform your operations for the better.
While there will be some initial costs, Azure migration allows you to reduce your operating costs over time, freeing up your savings to invest back into the business. This is made possible by:
Thanks to Azure’s Microsoft Cost Management, you have the potential to save up to 34% in your first year.
Not to mention how much lower Microsoft Azure’s ongoing costs are than the expense of maintaining physical IT infrastructure and legacy systems. The cloud can easily manage the processing power of today’s technology and applications, however, legacy systems often struggle to keep up. By staying with your current system, you will need to keep investing in CPU and memory just to perform simple tasks, holding your business back.
Microsoft invests $1 billion into cyber security every year. This makes Microsoft Azure one of the most secure cloud platforms. It is specially designed to keep you safe online, allowing you to maintain business continuity over the internet. In fact, it has the backing of 3,500 global security experts, along with built-in disaster recovery and back-up capabilities that can minimise the impact and likelihood of downtime and data loss.
Not only that, you can benefit from 99.95% availability, 24/7 support, and consistent health monitoring from Azure’s vast data centre network in more than 60 locations around the world.
While some training is always required when onboarding a new system, anyone can operate Microsoft Azure with ease. This is because it has been deliberately designed to be user-friendly, allowing any business to leverage it for success.
To make this process even easier, DDS IT can offer you subsidised Azure technical training, along with access to a library of self-guided resources, and even step-by-step guidance from experienced Microsoft Azure engineers.
While Azure will take a primary role in your operations post-migration, implementing it doesn’t mean you have to shut down your entire operations. There may be some brief instances of downtime, but with proper planning and a Microsoft Azure Cloud Assessment, you can avoid as much as possible.
The Cloud Assessment includes a real-time review of your business data, enabling the development of a clear roadmap for migrating to Microsoft Azure. It includes things like your strategies, workloads, costs and capacity to develop a clear and achievable path.
DDS IT will then deliver these findings to you as a detailed report, typically given to you within 72 hours of your assessment. This report will allow you to develop a cloud migration strategy aligned with your needs, as well as a clear timeline. Maybe your business will only take a few weeks with little disruption to your day-to-day, or maybe there is a lot to process so a phased approach would serve you best. The only way to find out is through your assessment.
Now that you’ve got the facts, it’s time to start leveraging all the benefits available when you migrate to Microsoft Azure.
First, you need to arrange your Microsoft Azure Cloud Assessment so you can bring your operations to the cloud in a method most effective for your business. Once that is done, the DDS IT will take you through your migration, facilitating a seamless, secure transition for your applications, systems and data.
