What Can Go Wrong

Cloud migration is not just about moving data; it’s about maintaining continuity while transforming your infrastructure. Downtime, even brief, can cause significant operational and business setbacks. Here's why minimizing it is critical:

  • Revenue Impact: Service outages during migration can lead to lost sales, delayed transactions, and frustrated customers.
  • Productivity Loss: Teams may be locked out of essential systems, stalling projects, and decision-making.
  • Reputational Risk: Prolonged or repeated downtime as well as mixed-up data can erode trust among clients and stakeholders.
  • Security & Compliance Concerns: Poorly managed transitions may expose data to vulnerabilities or violate regulatory requirements.
  • Missed SLAs: For service providers, downtime may breach contractual service-level agreements.
  • User Rejection: When systems don’t go live as planned, user adoption of an already new and unfamiliar system suffers.
