IT transition and IT cloud transitions
In the dynamic world of information technology, constant change remains the only constant. Adaptability is of crucial importance, particularly regarding IT infrastructure and modern software solutions, as it is essential to be able to react flexibly to changes in corporate structures and IT services.
Which factors trigger an IT transition, and how is it implemented in your company?
Emergence of new requirements from new or existing business units
Replacing outdated software with modern cloud applications and technologies
Company sales, acquisitions or carve-outs
Comprehensive restructuring of your company
Implementation of new technologies to reduce operating costs, such as cloud-based office applications
Replacing so-called shadow IT
IT transition to the cloud
Companies must react flexibly to integrations and separations.
Planning and executing your cloud transition:
Comprehensive planning and preparation are key elements for a successful IT transition. We therefore first work with you to develop an IT strategy so that all topics and the procedure can be discussed and elaborated in advance.
An IT due diligence report or an IT strategy should be created at the start of every transition, as it clearly demonstrates where the process should begin and which areas need to be brought into particular focus.
This report or strategy sets out which elements need to be migrated within the transition. This can be a simple data migration, or a comprehensive integration of a company, which naturally entails far more complex planning and responsibility. In the case of integrating an acquired company, it is necessary to create a detailed migration plan with the IT transition manager in order to clarify all relevant points in advance.
Common questions that arise during a transition:
Which systems can be retained?
Which systems need to be migrated?
Which hardware will be required in future?
Is a cloud solution suitable?
Do security policies and naming conventions need to be adapted?
How are the file structures of the various departments migrated?
Who takes charge of employee training and communication?
How will future corporate communication take place internally and externally?
Time management is crucial
The schedule plays a central role in a transition.
The lead time required for an integration is often underestimated, as operational disruption should be kept as short as possible. Furthermore, it is of great importance to prepare your employees for the upcoming change so that they can quickly find their bearings in the new IT environment and continue their work efficiently.
All data, applications, clients, mail and application servers, as well as external and internal access, are prepared together with department heads to cause minimal downtime for users.
With sufficient planning, uninterrupted operations can often even be maintained during the migration.
