Cloud transformation involves a complete digital transition of an organization’s existing applications, supporting IT infrastructure, data, security, compliance, certifications, and optimization processes. Based on transformation objectives, an organization will formulate a strategy and a cloud lifecycle management process.
A typical cloud transformation project has three stages: application transformation, network transformation, and security transformation. The first stage ensures existing legacy applications are moved to a compatible cloud infrastructure. This may require redesigning the application to meet the demands of a modern cloud. The second stage involves moving the network-based component of the service to the cloud. The third stage consists of adding security policies to ensure safe data storage and transfer during and after the transition process.
Cost efficiency is one of the major benefits of cloud transformation services. With cloud implementation, an organization can eliminate the cost of owning and managing on-premise hardware. Additionally, cloud transformation helps an organization innovate faster, integrate easily with third-party services, and scale up quickly as per requirements.
7R’s strategy is a framework to plan and prepare for application migration to the cloud. The 7 R’s refer to refactor, replatform, repurchase, rehost, relocate, retain, and retire. It’s prudent to evaluate existing application and data requirements based on these 7 R’s and customize the migration plan accordingly.
As the digital payment landscape evolves, most stakeholders are deploying cloud infrastructure as a default. This enables simplified integration with other third-party services that can be bundled to enhance the service offering to the customer. Along with that, the cloud offers insight into customer behavior, service performance, and deliverability. This data can be used to innovate faster and deliver better services.
