Common factors for Cloud Transformation success
Undertake rapid, large-scale migrations to Azure
- You should aim to migrate a significant number of customers to Azure.
- You should maintain a good velocity of migrations in order to hit incremental incentive milestones and reap the maximum benefits.
- You should select moderate to large workload sizes to reap the benefits of scale and offset migration and transformation costs.
Workloads should be optimized to increase margins
- You should undertake pre- or post-workload (infrastructure) optimizations to free up unnecessary cost – this can help to balance the cost of migration.
- You can also free up cost by modernizing applications and increasing automation to do more with less.
- You should use cost management tools to continuously optimize.
Indirect expenses should be transformed from cost to revenue
- You must re-skill and upskill internal resources.
- You should re-structure existing contracts by approaching existing customers ahead of renewal to discuss cloud alternatives.
- You can drive net-new customer acquisitions to meet incentive targets.
Grow your reach and accelerate sales with an expanded portfolio
- You should add value-added managed services to your portfolio.
- You should design and offer advanced MSP Services.
- If you’re more advanced, you should consider building your own vertical-specific IP (SaaS).
