A Staged Approach to Cloud Migration for Indian Businesses

Why Big-Bang Migrations Fail

Moving everything to the cloud in one weekend is how budgets overrun and businesses lose days of productivity. A staged migration — workload by workload — keeps you in control.

A Sensible Sequence

Start with an assessment: what you run, what depends on what, and what each workload actually costs today. Migrate low-risk, self-contained systems first to build confidence and refine the process. Leave tightly-coupled or compliance-sensitive workloads until you have proven your landing zone, networking and access controls.

Each phase should end with the same checks — performance, cost and security posture — before the next begins. Done this way, cloud migration becomes a series of small, reversible steps rather than one irreversible gamble.
