The benefits of cloud migration are well-documented. Despite that, many business leaders remain anxious about moving their legacy systems away from on-premise hardware and into the cloud. That apprehension is reasonable. Companies that invest a significant amount of capital in their on-premise hardware may be reluctant to commit more funds to a similar deployment despite the obvious advantages of the cloud. Other organizations may worry that what works in an on-premise situation may function differently in a cloud environment — and they might be right. But letting uncertainty limit proactive decision-making ultimately puts any business at a competitive disadvantage.
