…in three simple steps

By Alex Parkinson, Solutions Architect, Comms-care

As a Solutions Architect, I frequently encounter customers who are hesitant about embracing cloud transformation. They often express concerns about determining the appropriate target architecture for their existing applications and services and have the misconception that everything needs to be completely rearchitected, and has the potentially high cost of change. While these concerns are valid, I have found that they also led to interesting conversations about the logical thought process behind such reservations, the true potential of the public cloud, and the value we can provide as a channel-first services business in supporting our channel partners in delivering cloud transformation projects.

It is fair to acknowledge that migrating existing applications and services to the cloud requires change. However, what if I told you that this migration doesn’t have to be as complex as a full transformation and rearchitecting of your systems? What if it could be achieved at zero cost? If you’re currently working with customers who are considering moving their workloads to the public cloud, I encourage you to keep reading to learn how you can kickstart their journey with our free¹ public cloud migration services.
