Cloud Computing Migration and Management Strategy

Moving from on premise servers to the cloud promises cost savings, but many South African organisations end up with runaway bills and confused ownership of systems. This course teaches IT managers and finance partners to plan a phased cloud migration, control ongoing spend and clarify support responsibilities between provider and organisation. Delegates build a migration plan for a realistic case scenario.

What you will be able to do

  • Assess workloads to determine which systems are suitable for cloud migration.
  • Plan a phased migration sequence that minimises business disruption.
  • Control ongoing cloud spend through budgeting and usage monitoring practices.
  • Clarify support and ownership responsibilities between the organisation and cloud provider.
  • Evaluate hybrid and multi cloud options against organisational requirements.
  • Build a post migration management plan covering monitoring and cost review.
