 In today’s highly competitive digital landscape, migrating to the cloud is no longer a choice. Meeting the expectations of digitally-savvy consumers means maximizing cloud capabilities. Yet enterprises often find that migrating applications and workloads to the cloud can deliver uneven results in terms of added flexibility, scalability and computational power across a variety of use cases. If the wrong migrations tools or approach is used, even the most experienced cloud professionals can expect to encounter downtime, data loss or other severe consequences. In this episode of World Wide Technology's TEC37 Multicloud series, WWT’s Paul Sala outlined the decision-tree criteria organizations should follow for cloud migrations. You'll learn about WWT's approach for identifying which applications are great candidates for migration, which are weaker candidates, and which should not move to public cloud — all while keeping your organization’s business outcomes top of mind.   Presenters Paul Sala, WWT Robb Boyd, Ho

Modern applications allow organizations to rapidly deliver new digital experiences to their customers. This has led to the rise of containers, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, but, without the right solutions and strategy in place, it can be challenging to transform legacy applications and infrastructure.

COVID took most organizations by surprise. Companies that had previously ignored cloud technology and strategy became increasingly disrupted. Even companies in the process of digital transformation — while better positioned than most — were unprepared for the magnitude of the challenge. As organizations increasingly accept that COVID is a longer-term challenge, they also have a chance to appreciate the pandemic’s silver lining: enabling “work from anywhere” and accelerating technology modernization across all parts of the business — even those areas previously not considered. In this new TEC37 episode, WWT experts Darren Roback and Michael Johnson discuss how many customers had to pause certain initiatives, reappropriate budgets to meet changing demands, and scramble to enable services to maintain even minimum levels of business operations.
