Does your organization need to migrate its applications to the cloud? If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, then cloud migration should be a top business priority:

Would your business grow if you had access to the latest technologies around cloud, data, or AI?
Are you running into regulatory or compliance issues that are difficult to solve with your current tech?
Are your subscription renewal costs for software (Oracle, VMware, etc.) becoming unreasonably high?
Are your SLAs underperforming?
Do you have seasonal or cyclical computing needs that might benefit from scalable pricing?
Are your customer-facing systems becoming slow or buggy, resulting in poor user experiences?
Is your data center located on prime real estate that could be used for better purposes?
Are you lacking a reliable disaster recovery (DR) plan to protect and quickly restore data and systems?
Are you relying on old, failing hardware, and don’t have the budget for a refresh?
Are you running ancient (20+ years old) legacy mission-critical applications?

Business challenges like these become much more manageable after migrating your applications to the cloud. However, there is more to a cloud migration than the technology itself. It is a process involving many teams and departments that takes place over weeks, months, and sometimes even years. When you’re ready to migrate, you will need a tool that oversees both the technology and the process.

How SkyMap Guides Your Cloud Migration

Enquizit’s SkyMap offers a process definition and enforcement tool, both defining and enforcing the migration process—helping Enquizit’s team of experts map out your migration with maximum efficiency. This ensures that you are optimized in the cloud right from the start.

Our e-book, A SkyMap Cloud Migration: Charting a Course for a Successful Migration (and Beyond), offers a detailed run-through of how this tool, combined with guidance from our experienced team, steers your migration to a successful conclusion—positioning your organization for innovation and growth.

SkyMap provides a single dashboard to manage every step of the migration—ensuring that no data is lost as customers shift from discovery to migration. Keep in mind that SkyMap is not sold as an individual product, but is paired with Enquizit’s overall migration process. That means any customer who hires Enquizit to migrate their infrastructure automatically gains access to SkyMap as part of their engagement.

Enquizit’s Enforcement and Migration Process (and SkyMap’s Role)

What’s the process? First, SkyMap gathers data to guide decision-making that will lay the groundwork for a successful migration. It also helps you benefit from your new cloud infrastructure right away. The enforcement process combines Enquizit’s expertise and SkyMap’s technology, and includes four stages:

Assessment: Examine organizational readiness to migrate through a series of questionnaires and conversations with your team.
Discovery: SkyMap evaluates the customer’s current technology stack to determine what needs to be migrated to the cloud and which workloads can be eliminated.
Migration management: Migrations can take months and even years, involving multiple vendors and internal teams. Consistency and alignment are key. With SkyMap, you have one overarching guide to navigate your project so it stays on-time, on-track, and on-budget.
Enablement: What good is a new system if your team cannot operate it? Throughout the migration process, Enquizit provides shadowing opportunities, training plans, and job role modification recommendations for your team, empowering them to take over once the migration is completed.

Cloud migrations can seem overwhelming and complex. But with the right guide, process, and support team in place, your organization will emerge primed for innovation and ready to tackle your business challenges.
