Top 5 Cloud Migration Mistakes—and How to Avoid Them
Introduction Cloud migration is a game-changer—but only when done right. Many businesses dive into migration without a solid plan, leading to delays, cost overruns, or even security lapses. Avoid these common pitfalls to make your move to the cloud seamless. 1. Not Assessing Readiness Before any migration, assess your existing infrastructure. Not all workloads are ready for the cloud. We help clients evaluate their readiness with comprehensive pre-migration audits. 2. Lacking a Clear Strategy Jumping in without a roadmap leads to confusion and inefficiencies. Define goals—cost savings, scalability, security—and align your strategy accordingly. 3. Ignoring Security & Compliance Data protection and compliance must be baked into the migration process, not added as an afterthought. Our team ensures industry standards are met every step of the way. 4. Underestimating Downtime Even a short period of downtime can hurt operations. Bastek minimizes disruptions with phased migration plans and 24/7 support. 5. Failing to Train Your Team The cloud brings new tools and workflows. Ensure your team is trained to maximize productivity and security in the new environment. Conclusion Cloud migration doesn’t have to be risky or complicated. With Bastek’s expert guidance, you can migrate smarter, faster, and safer. Schedule a free consultation.
