Finding Value in the Cloud

The cloud is everywhere and promises everything to everyone.  Eliminated CapEx and reduced OpEx, unlimited scalability, low-cost secure storage, global reach, and faster development cycles. But actually delivering on these promises requires experience, expertise, and careful planning.  Consider the questions you need to even get started:

• Which cloud provider should I choose?
• Do I go with IAAS, PAAS, SAAS or a hybrid model?
• Which of my systems, processes, and workloads should I migrate to the cloud?
• Do I ‘lift and shift’, modify or re-architect?
• How do I staff the new skills required for cloud operations?

RCG can help your company determine the best answers for your unique circumstances.
