Challenge
Imagine copy-pasting a data table from a spreadsheet onto a barebones text editor program like Notepad. You may end up with continuous strings of letters and numbers that are difficult to parse and use. This mental exercise shows how the haphazard migration of data — especially overly complex or unstructured data — to the cloud can lead to its corruption, resulting in costly downtime and problem-solving efforts.
Unscrupulous CSPs will promise inexpensive migration of such data just to get your account, but reputable providers will warn you of the dangers beforehand. The latter will then work with your IT team to ensure proper data transmission, which may involve organizing it and giving it structure before or after cloud migration. However, this procedure will eat up time your IT team would otherwise spend on accomplishing their primary tasks, which may be critical to business operations.
Moreover, even if you and your CSP migrate data as carefully as possible, the data’s complexity may still cause technical problems in the future. Therefore, you must work with your CSP to consider whether or not you should move overly complex data to the cloud in the first place.
Solution
As a first step, outline why a system migration is required and if it aligns with the business goals. The objective SWOT analysis should be conducted to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the migration exercise.
Such an analysis will help you plan effectively multiple aspects and not just the technical process. It will include external dependencies, employee training, compliance factors, security procedures, etc.
The first stage will give you an overview of possible obstacles related to financial, operational, and staff training processes and help you proactively plan and manage them with minimum losses.
