Why Your Cloud Migration Fails (And How to Fix It)

Discover the top 5 reasons cloud migrations fail and how to avoid them with proven strategies and tools.
β 1. No Clear Strategy
Many businesses jump into the cloud without a clear roadmap, leading to fragmented implementations and cost overruns.

π‘ Tip: Establish a clear timeline and assign ownership for each migration phase to avoid confusion.
π 2. Underestimating Change Management
Cloud migration often requires changes in roles, processes, and culture.
Fix: Train your teams early. Involve stakeholders. Communicate change clearly.
π‘ Tip: Use change champions within teams to facilitate smoother transitions and feedback loops.
πΈ 3. Ignoring Cost Optimization
Without proper configuration, cloud bills can spiral out of control.
