Migration to Cloud Roadmap
Where and How to Get Started

Building Your Cloud Roadmap

Migration Steps
Step 1 – Classify
Applications
• E-Commerce
• General Business Apps
• ERP
• Cloud – Native
• Test/Dev
• DR
• Batch processing
Step 2 – Assess
Application Requirements
• Architecture
• Network
• Security
• Compute
• Storage
• Scalability
• Licensing Constraints

Step 3 - Identify Target Applications and Platforms
Business applications can be represented in a
dependency tree which can help to determine which
applications can be migrated first.
From this diagram, we can easily identify the “low
hanging fruit” – the ones which have the lowest
dependency on other applications to begin the
migration process or upon which other applications
have a dependency to sustain operations.
