Cloud Migrations are often challenging and complex. There can be thousands of application and infrastructure components, as well as numerous stakeholders and data sources.Challenges• Complex application and infrastructure relationships• Applications not designed to easily take advantage of cloud infrastructure• Lack of detailed knowledge of application architecture• Select the right cloud providers among many options• Dynamically changing migration methods and inventory• Multi-department, multi-skilled resources involved• Managing migration script quality and completion• Migrations are prone to human error without proper automation• Migration execution command and control• Tracking migration progress• Expertise needed to manage migration information

Migration Challenges

How does Accenture manage the numerous moving parts, provide command and control, and ensure a smooth migration?

An end-to-end methodology,

Accelerate for Cloud, and other

cloud migration tools

• Application design doesn’t allow to easily take advantage of cloud infrastructure

• Complex application and infrastructure relationships• Lack of detailed knowledge of application architecture• Lack of understanding of the vast amount of useful

features of cloud – going beyond basic IaaS• Select the right cloud providers among many options• Dynamically changing migration methods and inventory

• Multi-department, multi-skilled resources involved• Managing migration script quality and completion• Migrations are prone to human error without proper

automation• Migration execution command and control• Tracking migration progress• Expertise needed to manage migration information

OurApproach

A full understanding of what application and infrastructure components must move together, along with a detailed view of the components that are migrating at one time, allows the business and user impact of any migration to be known during planning.
