This is part of Solutions Review\u2019s Premium Content Series, a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories. In this submission, Accedian<\/a>‘s Director of Enterprise Solution Michael Bacon highlights why cloud migration with network performance monitoring is critical to the health and credibility of modern enterprises.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SR\u201cA global pharmaceutical company sought to move nearly all its workloads to the cloud. At the end of 12 months, however, it had shifted only 40 percent of its first-year target. Overwhelmed, the company cut the scope of its cloud-adoption plans by roughly 50 percent and chose to retire more applications rather than move them.\u201d – Source: McKinsey \u201cCloud-migration opportunity: Business value grows, but missteps abound\u201d, October 2021<\/p>\n

Migrating applications to the cloud is a strategic project for the majority of enterprise IT organizations as they look to improve operational efficiencies while realizing cost savings.<\/p>\n

These migrations are currently accelerating as many enterprises were waiting to move their mission-critical applications. They needed to be confident that the cloud was nimble and secure enough to justify the move while supporting any necessary regulatory rules.<\/p>\n

Just how much are enterprises betting on the cloud? By 2024 most are aiming to have 80 percent of their IT hosting budget dedicated to cloud-based operations. This includes private cloud, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).<\/p>\n

All of this opportunity comes with a large caveat: without the right planning, proper tools, and deep visibility into the network and applications, there\u2019s a significant chance that cloud migration projects will fail to meet business expectations.<\/p>\n

The impact can be widespread, including degraded quality of service of business-critical applications, an attendant reduction in customer experience, as well as months of lost productivity from the IT team. This can seriously harm a company\u2019s reputation while incurring significant financial losses.<\/p>\n

So what can an IT team do in order to maximize their chances of successful cloud migrations? Network performance monitoring platforms<\/a> have been shown to be a strategic tool in order to guarantee success before, during, and after a cloud deployment.<\/p>\n
