Considering moving your financials management software to the cloud?
The first step is to assess your current environment and requirements. Once that process is complete, you’ll have a solid foundation for developing a migration plan for moving from on-premise to cloud financial management software.
Your cloud migration planning and assessment process should include:
- Mapping your business services and applications, including dependencies
- Calculating your operational costs, including hardware, software and labor as well as hidden costs like facilities, recruitment and training
- Assembling security and compliance requirements
- Identifying your critical-to-quality metrics such as current downtime, acceptable downtime, and your ability to observe and respond to downtime when it occurs
- Determining how much risk is acceptable
- Identifying individuals from your team who will be involved in the migration (including a project manager familiar with technical project delivery)
This list is a good starting point for an internal discussion about on premises vs. cloud software.
