You know you want to move to the cloud, but what can you expect as you move your company's email, files, and more up there? Every business is different, but our cloud team encounters many of the same concerns each time they take a client through the process of planning and executing a cloud migration. While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to making the move, preparation and planning are the keys to success in any migration. This archived webinar has Aptera’s Cloud Services Experts Mark Gordon and John Alumbaugh take us through the main decisions and milestones that will determine the shape of your cloud migration. Along the way, they’ll answer questions like: - Can you really ensure your documents, accounts, and data remain accessible and secure? - How hard is it to make the cloud work with your existing resources and processes? - How can you create a clear, actionable plan to begin reaching your goals as quickly as possible? - What are some of the surprises—pleasant and otherwise—businesses encounter during their migrations? Unfortunately, there’s no switch you can flip to move your business into the cloud, and any plan you put in place will need to be flexible enough to take advantage of new offerings and capabilities. But with the proper strategy and a little guidance, your migration will go a lot more smoothly, leaving you in a position to take advantage of whatever the future brings.
