Cost reduction, solving new business problems, and improving system performance are at the core of today's IT agendas. Recognizing how cloud computing can help you achieve these goals is the first step. We understand how to successfully migrate your apps to the cloud so you can reduce the cost of IT and provide more flexibility to the business.

The Cloud Migration Services from Progressive are the part of our professional services organization where we use to guide our customers around the hazards of migrating critical business functionality and applications to the Cloud.

Progressive incorporates analytical technologies that measure, automate and predict the capacity and growth requirements of business critical functionality. This allows us to support the Cloud migration strategies of our customers or where Cloud migration will have an adverse impact, to suggest alternative consolidation and virtualization strategies.

The primary objective of Cloud Migration Services is to support our customers to achieve continual and measurable benefits of migration to the Cloud.

Business Challenges

When setting up the stone for Cloud migration or the migration of physical servers to a virtual server environment the interdependence of applications, servers and processes is not always translucent.

This can lead to significant issues, especially if after migration the dependant application, process or server is unable to run due to a missing partner. The breakdown in this symbiosis will not necessarily prove to be symptomatic immediately as in some circumstances processes or applications affected are run infrequently on a monthly or annual basis.

These symptoms may manifest dramatically as services crash, or discretely as errors in accounting software or databases accumulate over time and are not picked up until an audit is carried out by which time, errors and damage to the business may be irreversible.
