If you’ve made the decision to migrate your IT architecture to the cloud, you’re in good company. In a survey of over 1,800 data professionals in 12 industries, more than 56% of respondents said they were currently working on or planning cloud projects in 2020. From a security, cost, and efficiency standpoint, migration to the cloud makes a lot of sense. However, it can be a complicated undertaking. Alacriti Consulting can assist with the following:
Moving away from your current infrastructure, and taking on new products and services can be nerve-racking. Implementing a strategy, understanding your current business model, and having a partner will help ease the transition to AWS. Alacriti Consulting can provide you with a clear path to success.
Before beginning the transformation journey, the firm should develop a roadmap and migration plan that establishes priorities and the steps needed to accomplish them in sequence. The cloud architecture should incorporate backup and redundancy features while addressing security and performance concerns. It should also integrate toolsets and processes to manage the cloud (once implemented) and to make sure anticipated business benefits are realized. With Alacriti Consulting spearheading these efforts with your firm, it will be a smoother transition.
A holistic cloud implementation should result in a centralized, fact-based delivery program that incorporates DevOps and automation. A common misconception is that migrating to the AWS Cloud will result in a lot of downtime. Through a robust, tightly-controlled approach to governance, companies are positioned to conduct business as usual activities in parallel with cloud migration initiatives. A key milestone might include the elimination of data centers. Alacriti Consulting will help you create a phased approach.
A clear benefit in migrating to the cloud is the ability to leverage more modern, innovative solutions to benefit the firm and end consumers. Cloud-based financial services companies can access a variety of solutions using Software as a Service (SaaS) models. In most cases, however, they will develop their own software for core functions. This means not only attracting and retaining new types of talent but giving development teams what they need to innovate and deliver. The challenge of finding the talent with scarce and specialized skills in a tight market to maintain the cloud post-migration should not be underestimated. This is where Alacriti Consulting can provide a team of AWS Certified Professionals at a more cost-effective price to get your firm to market quicker.
Your data can be an important competitive differentiator. To position the company for growth and disrupt the market, the data should be harnessed and analyzed in real-time and with a high degree of accuracy. Cloud solutions are secure and highly scalable and offer the fastest path to transforming enterprise data. With the help of Alacriti Consulting powered by AWS, your firm can get there faster in a cost-effective manner.
