Cloud Migration Consultants
Maximizing the Benefits of Your Cloud Migration.
One of the most valuable projects within an organization today is a technology migration to the cloud.
Moving to a true cloud native ERP system provides several benefits:
Opportunity to adopt out of the box, pre-configured (in some cases) functionality and processes when moving to a new version.
Reduced technical
debt, and IT burden.
Increased return on investment from the IT department from hosted services.
Elimination of version lock and assurance of always being on a recent / supportable release in a SaaS environment.
Increased integration capabilities.
Ability to adopt new / emerging technologies faster.
Allows you to set a foundation to enable and adopt newer technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Yet, cloud ERP migrations are complex endeavors, and it is essential they are done correctly, the first time.
This isn’t about complementing on-premise solutions (like you would with Microsoft Office or a banking application); this is about replacing on-premise solutions with solutions that must integrate with several other applications and serve a multitude of users.
Our Cloud Migration Services
Technical
Upgrade
Typically, this is limited to a communication service that accesses a distributed server, sometimes with a web-enabled front-end that replicates a native cloud solution.
The primary benefit of moving your current system to a hosted environment is cost savings – in hardware, infrastructure, and IT support. This lower-cost option can be ideal for companies on a recent, on-premises version of the application.
Our cloud migration consulting services for this type of upgrade include the following:
This cloud migration strategy focuses on using technology as a differentiator. It’s a strategic upgrade that prioritizes areas of standardization and process optimization.
In addition to realizing the benefits of a Technical Upgrade, your organization can leverage technology and ERP as a critical part of your company’s vision and future.
With this version of cloud adoption, your organization can start to experience the benefits of a customizable user interface, increased agility, more efficient reports & query creation, workflow automation, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
A cloud migration consultant can help you ensure your technology meets your future state needs and requirements. Where out-of-the-box, standard functionality may not be enough, we leverage product configuration, enhancements, and integrations. In addition, we consolidate and cleanse data, while preparing it for input.
Strategic Upgrades set the foundation to enable and efficiently adopt newer technologies, like Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. (For example, AI can be leveraged to learn system set-ups, common / repeatable tasks and identify areas for optimization.)
This mid-level investment is ideal for companies on any legacy, on-premises version.

This cloud migration strategy enables you to facilitate significant growth and differentiate your company in the marketplace by leveraging technology to streamline and optimize processes and output.
In addition to realizing the benefits of a Technical Upgrade and Strategic Upgrade, your organization can focus on the use of technology to support your business goals.
Our cloud migration consultants can help you develop a data strategy and enable data-driven production and operations. This means transitioning from making decisions on a descriptive (retrospective) basis to a predictive and then prescriptive basis. One of the primary differences you will notice is that KPIs begin to focus on outcomes rather than outputs.
Ultimately, we transform business processes from current state to industry best practices. We use implementation accelerators in areas where pre-configured workflows and functions can be enabled.
Working with a cloud transformation and migration consultant for this type of upgrade involves the following:
Organizational alignment to sponsor the initiative.
Gap analysis of version / configuration / functionality with current Cloud release.
Business process transformation to adopting best in class processes and functionality.
Updating or reconfiguring the determined enhancements and integrations necessary.
Data migration strategy.
Project oversight to augment client / vendor side project management and advise on various initiatives during pre-implementation planning and implementation.

Increased Efficiency.
Deciding to transition to the cloud isn’t a decision to be taken lightly, but it can provide a wealth of benefits for companies who plan for success. A company’s decision on which strategy to adopt plays an important role in determining whether their cloud migration will be successful.
