What is a cloud readiness assessment?

Is your company ready to take its IT structure to the next level and venture into the cloud? This is the question behind the term cloud readiness. Moving from a traditional IT infrastructure to the cloud is much more than just a technical leap - it means making processes, structures and technologies future-proof and also initiating cultural changes.

This is precisely where a cloud readiness check, also known as a cloud readiness assessment, comes in: This comprehensive analysis assesses how well a company is prepared for migration to the cloud. The aim is to check the current status of the IT infrastructure, processes and organization, make potentials visible and identify possible challenges at an early stage.

Challenges in achieving cloud readiness

The bad news: Unfortunately, when it comes to cloud migration, it's not enough to simply buy a cloud service and hope for the best. It requires careful planning and comprehensive preparation. Without a solid foundation, cloud migration can quickly come to a standstill. The following hurdles are particularly challenging:

Unclear current status

Many companies do not have a complete overview of their IT landscape. Complex structures, outdated systems or unresolved dependencies make it difficult to get started. A precise analysis is crucial in order to create a solid basis for the migration.

Lack of knowledge

One obstacle is the lack of knowledge about cloud services. The people responsible in the company often underestimate the complexity of the offerings or have unrealistic expectations, which leads to the wrong decisions being made. Awareness-raising work and targeted advice from experts are needed.

A well-thought-out plan is essential

Which systems migrate first? Which cloud services are the best fit? Without a clear roadmap, the project threatens to get out of hand. A strategic approach is essential in order to use time and resources efficiently.

Involve teams & organization

The teams must not be left out either. Cloud technologies often require new working methods and knowledge, which many companies first need to develop. Workshops and training courses are therefore important building blocks for making everyone involved fit for the cloud and strengthening collaboration.

Using the cloud as an opportunity

When used correctly, the cloud offers enormous benefits - from more efficient processes to improved scalability. However, these opportunities can only be realized if the migration is well prepared. Companies should therefore not shy away from the associated challenges, but see them as an opportunity to make their own IT fit for the future and create long-term added value.

The good news is that this is exactly where a cloud readiness check comes in. This comprehensive analysis assesses how well a company is prepared for migration to the cloud. The aim is to check the current status of the IT infrastructure, processes and organization, make potentials visible and identify possible challenges at an early stage.
