Heading for the technology of the future

The basic decision to use cloud computing is only the first step. The real challenges await in the development of a strategy, the operational implementation, and migration – what objectives do I wish to achieve, how can the cloud help, and how do I best redistribute tasks?

Following up the first cloud pilot projects with further individual projects is not enough. Nor is the migration of data centers and applications the underlying purpose of cloud transformation. Rather, it is the result of conscientious planning in which business requirements are identified and implemented. Here, all companies and IT organizations define different horizons, ranging from quick projects with immediate benefits to digital business models aimed at opening up new markets. Another important aspect is the decluttering of legacy IT systems to connect them with the cloud and make them future-proof.

In short, the path to “the cloud” is the consequence of strategic decisions about the future of a company’s IT. You might say that cloud computing provides the material – now it’s all about using it properly.
