  1. 6 Tips For A Successful Migration Program

  2. 6 Tips For A Successful Migration Program For large enterprises undertaking a migration program, it can be a costly and challenging exercise. With no guarantees that you will arrive at a better end state compared to where you started. Whether it is uplifting legacy technology assets or planning data centre migrations to private or public cloud (or a hybrid). www.enov8.com/

  3. 1. Start With The Problem Too often IT is guilty of coming up with a solution or technology under pressure of what is in vogue or what their peers are doing in the market. If your IT department is aligned to the business needs, then naturally the technology can be designed to better effectively support the business goals rather than the other way around. The goals maybe to better control costs, to support business growth (or downsizing), or to allow your enterprise applications to be accessible by authorised users, securely and anywhere. www.enov8.com/

  4. 2. Virtualise If you are late to the party and/or still running legacy on bare metal, you will be limited on your options for migration and reduce orchestration and automation opportunities in this Dev/Ops driven world. Data migration management from legacy can be a challenge, but is can be overcome by splitting the client piece and the back end. www.enov8.com/

  5. 3. Where Are We Now? It may seem crazy, but most medium to large organisations struggle to understand exactly what their IT environment currently looks like. Pick a server at random and ask the SME what team/project is using that and why and you may get a blank stare. Knowledge is often maintained in spreadsheets and emails and often only true as of a point in time. www.enov8.com/

  6. 4. Where Are We Going? Armed with knowledge of where you currently are, you can begin to plan a future state based on your business goals. This may lead to an end state of hybrid public and private cloud. With the vision in place you can now start to slice the migration into sprints of activity. A migration program is a great opportunity to identify and permanently decommission unused/idle systems and start reducing your future OPEX. www.enov8.com/

  7. 5. Orchestrate And Automate Each critical manual step to decommission and spin up a new server should be a target for automation. Each of these sprints of activity will feed lessons learned and areas for automation to be included in the next sprint. The theory being that once you get to migrating the critical production instance, you have a tried and tested repeatable set of steps which are automated to minimize human error. www.enov8.com/

  8. 6. Align Technology Costs With The Business A migration is a great opportunity to start fresh and begin understanding exactly who is using what and understanding the associated cost with providing the service. Most reasonable business units will not object to paying for the things they use, after all, if you have gotten the first point correct and aligned IT to the business need, then more IT cost will equate to the business doing well. This helps minimise waste improving the value as well as acting as a permanent sanity check on whether IT is aligned to the business. www.enov8.com/
