The transition to public systems based on the cloud poses its own challenges and rewards. Considering that 95% of all data center traffic is expected to be cloud related by 2021, switching to cloud-based systems seems almost inevitable for most organizations.

That is, it is not about whether people migrate to the cloud, but when they do it. In a recent conference some factors that organizations should take into account when migrating to the cloud were shared.

SaaS is not just for small businesses

Software as a service is designed for all types of companies, from medium-sized or small to larger companies.
Because public cloud services are built with many different organizations, it is important for companies to calibrate their expectations accordingly. You should start with applications that offer the best functionality in its class for each type of company.

The change to the cloud is usually faster than internal migrations.

Once the migration to the cloud starts, it is relatively quick, if you have an adequate service.
Ensuring a successful change depends on the processes within the company being adapted in an adequate manner without requiring much effort or additional training.

The evidence seems to suggest that implementation in the cloud is generally between 40% and 60% faster than a traditional insitu update.

The flexibility of the cloud.

The cloud to be flexible in many aspects such as storage capacity, speed and availability, stops being an obstacle for companies when they want to access your information.
Although cloud services are not custom designed, the central cloud platforms offer greater scope with the immediate priorities of a company.

The cloud gives the opportunity to flexibilize its deployment model, to take into account its priorities and geographies. The model in the cloud allows companies to offer what they want when they want it.

The new ways of working.

You have to adequately train the staff, on ways of working, to get the most benefit from the new cloud-based systems.

The development and implementation of products tends to be different: it tends to be faster, more agile, more collaborative.

The innovation

To ensure business success, now and in the future, it is essential to maximize the return on existing investment in software, while innovating and adopting new technologies.
The challenges to be addressed to compete in a Hybrid IT world include, DevOps, Security, Risk Management and Predictive Analysis.
