 In today’s highly competitive digital landscape, migrating to the cloud is no longer a choice. Meeting the expectations of digitally-savvy consumers means maximizing cloud capabilities. Yet enterprises often find that migrating applications and workloads to the cloud can deliver uneven results in terms of added flexibility, scalability and computational power across a variety of use cases. If the wrong migrations tools or approach is used, even the most experienced cloud professionals can expect to encounter downtime, data loss or other severe consequences. In this episode of World Wide Technology's TEC37 Multicloud series, WWT’s Paul Sala outlined the decision-tree criteria organizations should follow for cloud migrations. You'll learn about WWT's approach for identifying which applications are great candidates for migration, which are weaker candidates, and which should not move to public cloud — all while keeping your organization’s business outcomes top of mind.   Presenters Paul Sala, WWT Robb Boyd, Host   WWT Related Content Jersey Mike's: Securely Scaling Cloud Capabilities to Meet Demand Building the Foundation for a Data-Driven Future Cloud Migration Readiness Workshop Multicloud Briefing Cloud Collaboration Migration Workshop
