Cloud technologies for business
‘Move to the cloud’ can mean replacing a file server, changing how staff collaborate or finding a new home for a business application. Those are different decisions.
These guides help you start with the work you need to do and then compare the technology, costs and ongoing responsibilities.

Still working out whether to move?
Start with moving to the cloud for the business questions. What would change for staff? Which existing problems would a move address? What could remain where it is? You do not need to select a platform before answering those questions.
When the systems and destinations are known, cloud migration services covers the technical delivery. Moving shared files and moving a specialist application need different preparation, checks and recovery arrangements, even when both projects are described as a cloud move.
Compare the complete arrangement
Our Azure and AWS guide looks at platform fit and operating costs. IaaS and PaaS explains the difference between more control over infrastructure and more of the platform being managed for you.
For systems that stay connected to local infrastructure, explore hybrid cloud. Include access, connectivity, protection and administration in the comparison. Choosing a location for the application does not settle who maintains it or restores it when something goes wrong.

Do not leave staff and subscriptions until last
Modern workplace brings devices, information access and collaboration into the discussion. The people using a new service need a workable transition and a route to help, not just an invitation to sign in.
Microsoft CSP licensing explains the questions to ask about subscriptions and renewals. Check the entitlements you already hold before assuming you need to buy everything again. A useful cloud plan connects the tools, the people using them and the work needed to run them after launch.
