What’s the best migration approach?
Migrating to the cloud is often simplified into a binary choice. Either you lift-and-shift everything, retaining existing inefficiencies. Or you go through a long, expensive transformation initiative to untangle your complex digital and data estate.
This is a false choice.
You can exit your on-premises data centre quickly while future-proofing your architecture, reducing ongoing technical debt and driving business value.

You need a strategy where you migrate to modernise
When you migrate to modernise, you meet your data centre exit deadlines while pursuing the best option for each workload – integrating lift-and-shift with modernisation as a continuous service.
Your migration strategy is therefore formulated as a gateway to full cloud benefits. That way, you benefit from expertise, tools and methodologies that help you escape legacy inefficiencies and leverage cloud-enabled ways of working. And this enables you to optimise costs and performance ongoing.
