Migrate To Evolve, And Not Just Sustain

Posted On March, 2021

Tech-savvy enterprises and industry leaders are recognizing the immense value cloud offers. The question is, what is encouraging them towards a cloud-first strategy?Is it increased staff productivity? Higher operational resilience?Improved business agility? Well, each of these holds significant importance for a CTO, but equally important and for some organizations, perhaps the most motivating factor to look at the cloud is its power to significantly reduce their total cost of ownership per application. Cloud enables them to take the benefit of leaner, efficient processes while they easefully leverage its economics of scale benefits to evolve and grow

DevOps and Transformation services

More than simply bringing collaboration between the development and applications team, DevOps also helps in optimizing costs for better productivity outcomes. Organizations with DevOps adoption see faster delivery of scheduled features, benefit from a stable operating environment. Costs go down as innovations go up. The steady flow of delivery models from a less but focused group of resources optimizes orchestration and results in infrequent failures across application, and production levels – thereby adding a cap on directionless or unneeded expenditures.
For a company, the complete lifecycle of an IT solution evolves at multiple stages, tying several direct and indirect expenses. From ad-hoc request to day-to-day management to occasional maintenance associated with its development is a process that grows steadily, incurring continuous expenses and with it grows the total cost of ownership. Cloud infrastructure consolidates the experiences, achieves cost efficiency through automation, and self-service features. Best of all, you can reduce the cost flexibly based on your usages. For example, during the low operating load period, you can bring down the costs as needed.

Evolve from monolithic to microservices

While monolith application refers to a unified unit, where different components are joined, microservices stand on the support of small, standalone services that work in collaboration – each service serving a unique business requirement. For challenging and resource-intensive applications, microservices provide the best solutions. It’s the way to go for better scalability, fault isolation, data security, and compliance, and for future-proofing and quicker time to market. It can transform time-consuming and resource-intensive activities.

Cloud as a driver for innovation

Cloud is a true, and realistic driver for steady innovation. It enables enterprises to reduce costs. Most importantly, in cloud computing, costs can be made predictable – allowing enterprises to manage their budgeting with greater understanding. It also drives agility because businesses can develop new applications and services more easily, and on time, even faster if needed, thanks to the self-service capabilities, elastic capability, provisioning, and automation cloud offer. Businesses can also reduce the burden on their internal IT resources by using a deployment model that is public or self-service. Cloud brings innovation in the sense that it reduces complexity and the dependency on siloed data centers.
Summed up, shifting to a cloud model makes the management of IT simple, agile, and effective. It assists in every stage of transformation and evolution, helping an organization grow at scale and competes confidently in an overburdened market. While traditionally, it was associated as a cost differentiator, now companies are pondering at its other more important values – which is its ability to enable future innovation and transformation.
