In 2020, for IT enabled organizations, Cloud is perhaps not an option anymore and may have already become a mandate. Most of them may be already in the middle of their cloud journey and looking beyond high availability, high performance, operational simplification, etc. High performance software tools and platforms hosted on “Pay for Usage” cloud environments, integrated with Cloud AI, ML, high throughput messaging, and streaming are becoming the new IT environment enabling advanced applications to achieve that competitive edge.
But 2020 mostly (God Bless if recovery happens early) may also see a slowdown in new global IT initiatives amidst the volatility and macro-economic impact of COVID-19. Cloud Migration initiatives that are necessary for most IT enabled business entities today may also be impacted by this crisis.
In this new-age advanced and integrated cloud environment, perhaps there is no place for large commercial middleware and databases. Most of the cloud environments may see a transition to lightweight open standard/open source integration ready software tools/platforms that can scale massively with “Pay for Usage” cloud environments.
The massive global lockdown resulting in loss of GDP in trillions may have a negative impact on the IT budget. Business may first focus on primarily Business as Usual (BAU) and less on new initiatives and innovation including cloud migration if the cost is significant and upfront.
With most of IT manpower working from home to comply with social distancing, many major Cloud and Application Transformation initiatives may see an abrupt end or slow down depending on how they adapt to the new changes.
With most of the IT Enabled Business Group’s thinking focused on the lines of “think twice before go ahead” on any major new initiatives, major Cloud Replatforming and Refactoring initiatives may experience a slowdown. However, Cloud Migration as an imperative may be top of mind on the decision maker’s future strategic plan.
For IT Enabled Businesses, this may be the right time to ride this wave and embrace the Cloud for resilience and staying ahead of the curve. The question arises now whether the migration would require significant investment and time because replatforming bulk legacy applications to open standard /open source technology platforms on a “Pay for Use” aka serverless massively scalable IT Environment is not that simple.
Hence any solution that can enable risk-free quick replatforming and migration with zero business disruption and guaranteed quality with lesser cost may be today’s winner.
While risk free quick replatforming and migration with zero business disruption may be today’s game changer, the Cloud journey for IT enabled businesses may not end here, It would rather open up the opportunity of enabling migrated applications to embrace true native Cloud features for further TCO reduction and greater business agility by aligning them with business driven digital initiatives.
Such a solution that can enable risk free quick migration with zero business disruption, refactor them to be cloud native, agile and digital with minor additional investment may be tomorrow’s winner.
In such a global scenario, Cloud Migration and Replatforming that can scale with speed can reduce the IT TCO substantially and if it is way beyond the promise of TCO reduction from mere infrastructure migration to cloud, the TCO reduction itself can budget the cloud migration initiative.
Such a cloud migration scenario can be a dream come true for future ready businesses. Simply put, if the solution cost for each phase itself is less than the TCO reduction resulting for that phase, needless to say that this can be the most appropriate Cloud Migration Solution in the COVID-19 affected world.
