The Essential Guide:
Lift and Shift to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
In the wake of Covid-19 these are the key actions a CEO should take to get value from the cloud computing:
- Accelerate their journey to the cloud in order to digitize quickly and effectively.
- The transition to cloud computing represents a collective-action problem, one that requires a coordinated effort across teams at the top of an organization.
- The right operating model combines cloud-based digital technologies with agile operational capabilities in an integrated, well-sequenced approach to rapidly accelerate digital strategy and transformation.
While most enterprises have been embracing Software as a Service (SaaS) for the past decade and have experienced a transparent TCO and a positive ROI within a year, those same enterprises don’t realize that investing in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) will give them even a much bigger advantage.
Differentiator
Here is the secret: where the SaaS offering is meant to complement your applications, the PaaS offerings is meant to extend those applications and the IaaS offering is meant to optimize those applications.
Nucleus Research (global provider of ROI focused technology research) found the ROI of cloud deployments to on-premise has increased by more than 50%. Cloud deployments deliver 3.2 times the ROI of on-premise ones and have an average 2.3 times lower TCO compared with on-premise deployments.
We understand that making the decision to move your business-critical applications to IaaS & PaaS is a different process than with SaaS. Migration to the cloud must be secure and deliberate, running in the cloud is very disruptive, it can’t happen overnight. But we will make it simple for you, depending on the size of your enterprise, we can help you with your Lift & Shift or Move & Improve project within 2 - 6 months. (More about the difference between Lift & Shift and Move & Improve in the whitepaper.)
If your organization still runs the Oracle applications (E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, Siebel & Hyperion) or any other applications (SAP, Microsoft etc.) on-premise or off-premise in non-cloud environments, but you want to move those applications to the cloud, this 5-steps guidance is for you.
