When it comes to migrating to the Cloud, there are various strategies to consider. Selecting the wrong approach could lead to complications later on. Therefore, it is vital to carefully evaluate your business needs and decide whether to modernize existing processes or completely rewrite them for the cloud environment. This decision can significantly impact your post-migration operating costs. Additionally, you must take into account factors such as network topology, storage configuration, and security policies. Before diving into the planning of your cloud migration strategy, it is essential to have a clear understanding of your IT processes and objectives. Here are some critical questions to reflect on during this phase:
What specific outcomes do you want to achieve? Are there particular Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that you are targeting?
What types of applications are you planning to migrate?
How much time do you have to complete this project? Are there sufficient resources available to you? What is the maximum downtime you can tolerate?
What kind of data are you handling? How much of it is sensitive? Are there any regulatory compliance issues to consider?

Most likely, your current solution features third-party apps that you need to assess for migration. Time and time again, these apps represent an enormous pain point for organizations that don't have the expertise to assess whether they still need these apps or if there are equivalent Atlassian Cloud tools.
Plus, determining how to migrate third-party apps means assessing compatibility requirements and anticipating conflicts that an inexperienced party may be unable to see.

Plus, we can tell you which native Atlassian features in the cloud can replace your third-party apps altogether! Our team will conduct a thorough analysis of your existing applications, ensuring that you only migrate what is necessary and beneficial for your organization.
Security is always a top concern when migrating to any new platform. Businesses want to know that their data is always safe during migration and post-migration when the new system is in production mode.
The risks associated with data breaches or compliance violations can be daunting, making it essential to prioritize security throughout the migration process.
How We Can Help: As an Atlassian Solution Partner, we'll help you with security best practices, such as setting up secure encryption keys or implementing two-factor authentication processes for access control and compliance requirements.
STAND 8’s team is well-versed in the latest security protocols and compliance standards, ensuring that your organization meets all necessary regulations.
Cloud migrations pose security threats because an organization's data is hosted outside of its control. Atlassian Solution Partners can help reduce these risks by providing security audits during the migration process and performing post-migration security monitoring of your environment. We can help ensure that you have appropriate security protocols during the migration process, including data encryption at rest, encryption in transit, and access control policies.
Our team can offer compliance consulting services, which ensure that your organization complies with regulatory requirements, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) standards.
It's essential to remember that migration can be a complex process that depends on the specific environment, users, and their needs.
